District City @ Bankenveld: Where Sandton's Future Takes Shape

A New Mixed-Use City Beside the Marlboro Gautrain Station

District City is a city in its own right – an integrated urban precinct bringing together residential, commercial, logistics, healthcare and education facilities in one connected destination. Its own network of arterial roads and bridges, complemented by green belts and recreational space, is designed to create a seamless balance between connectivity, convenience and quality of life.

Strategically positioned between Waterfall City and Linbro Park, it sits at the heart of Gauteng’s economic hub, with access to key transport routes and centres of opportunity. More than a place to live and work, it is a place to connect.

A new chapter in Johannesburg’s urban story is taking shape – and it’s happening now.

Homes in Bankenveld: Quality Living Close to Sandton

At the heart of District City is its residential offering, with more than 20,000 homes planned and the potential to grow to 30,000. Designed to make quality, connected urban living accessible, these homes will cater to a new generation of homeowners looking for both opportunity and convenience.

Led by Calgro M3, one of South Africa’s most experienced residential developers, Bankenveld is envisioned as a diverse collection of neighbourhoods rather than a single estate. From accessible first-home opportunities to more established family residences, the residential offering aims to bridge the gap between affordability and access to Sandton’s economic hub.

Who it’s for: Young professionals, growing families and aspiring homeowners looking to put down roots closer to the city’s centres of employment, opportunity and growth.
