Umhlanga’s property market has delivered another headline-grabbing moment. Radisson Serviced Apartments Umhlanga sold 97 sectional-title apartments within three hours of its online launch on 15 August 2026.
The original plan was to release just 40 apartments. Every one sold within four and a half minutes.
With buyers still active on the Markt platform, the development released another 57 units in smaller batches. By midday, all 97 apartments had been secured.

The development is set to become South Africa’s first Radisson-branded serviced-apartment project of its kind. It will feature 183 apartments and is scheduled to open in 2029.
Unlike a conventional residential development, buyers will own sectional-title apartments within a professionally managed hospitality property. The concept combines private ownership with the operating platform of an international hotel brand.
The launch was also KwaZulu-Natal’s first fully online property development release, according to the developers.
A further 40 apartments are due to be released through Markt on 27 August 2026, with prices starting from R1.89 million.
Studios begin at 29m², while one-bedroom units include an open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen. The sectional-title apartments attract no transfer duty on acquisition.
“This represents a powerful vote of confidence in Umhlanga, the Radisson brand and the sectional-title serviced-apartment investment model"
Chris Horn of developer Avoca
Strong launch-day sales make a compelling headline, but property remains a long-term commitment. Interested buyers should study the management agreement, levies, projected returns and associated costs before signing on the digital dotted line.
