FNB to finance Balwin’s Thaba-Eco Village project
The South African market is responding to increased demand from first-time home buyers, with loan rates at historic lows. This is why the FNB was particularly interested in the acquisition.
FNB Business CEO Gordon Little said the move demonstrates the bank’s commitment to making it easier for first-time homebuyers to enter the formal housing market.
According to Gordon, Balwin’s world-class leadership and creative approaches to local skills development and environmentally responsible construction make them attractive partners, and we look forward to continuing ongoing projects. He went on to say that Balwin’s track record and its high-quality products lend itself to the formation of strong, long-term relationships, which he believes have a lot of potential for the future.
Meanwhile, Balwin CEO Steve Brookes said the company aims to be the world’s cheapest certified green home builder by delivering high-quality lifestyle homes.
“We are very excited to bring the Balwin brand to Thaba-Eco Village, which we believe will become an iconic development and premier address in South Johannesburg. Our first apartments were developed in Johannesburg South, which gave us a very good understanding of the region, â€he said.
The Thaba-Eco Village is nearing completion, with the first two floors already occupied.
