Citra Neighborhoods
Vision
Citra develops, designs, and builds homes and eStates using Citra Building Technology, with a desire to create high-quality, sustainable, yet affordable housing developments without compromising financial returns.
The Citra development mandate is to facilitate the entry of the advanced Citra Building Technology into the South African market, while providing a holistic product to the target market which fosters social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Citra also offers a one-of-a-kind comprehensive turnkey solution in its developments, where our in-house team handles every aspect of the home, ensuring a seamless and accountable experience throughout the entire process.
eStates
We aim to differentiate our projects from low-quality, “cookie-cutter” housing developments by investing in large-scale projects of approximately 1,000 homes and deploying new technologies, allowing for innovative design solutions from detail to urban design level.
Cost savings through economies of scale enable the provision of high-quality housing in thoughtfully designed, sustainable neighborhoods, fostering a sense of community and contributing to improved quality of life for residents.
Long-term sustainability is achieved through our three-tier approach, considering not only environmental but also social and economic aspects.
Thoughtful Developments
Our projects are thoughtfully planned to ensure well-located, integrated developments with closely connected education, work and living spaces.
Affordability
We offer a range of innovative and well-designed living environments that are affordable for as many people as possible – without compromising on quality.
Green Spaces
We encourage outdoor living, complemented by the use of environmentally friendly building technologies, which provide neighborhoods with social, environmental and economic lifestyle benefits.
At the heart of every Citra home lies what truly sets us apart:
Our groundbreaking Citra Building Technology.
Through this innovation, we create environmentally friendly homes with innovative designs that make our homeowners proud.
