The Northern Suburbs just got a major vote of confidence. STADIO Higher Education has opened its new Durbanville Campus, with the first cohort of students arriving in February 2026. The campus offers 20 qualifications across seven schools — including Education, IT, Law, Media and Design, Commerce, Architecture and Engineering — and has a capacity for between 4,000 and 5,000 contact-learning students. Phase 2 is already underway and expected to be completed by August 2026, which will push total capacity to more than 6,000 students — all based right here in the Groot Phesantekraal precinct. Add that to the recently opened Groot Phesantekraal View shopping centre and the award-winning Curro Durbanville High School already on site, and what you have is a fully-fledged lifestyle and education precinct taking shape on the doorstep of estates like Welgevonden, Graanendal and The Crest.

For homeowners in the Northern Suburbs, this kind of infrastructure investment matters — and it shows up in property values. A university of this scale brings with it sustained demand for rental accommodation, a steady influx of young professionals, and the kind of long-term economic activity that makes an area more desirable year on year. STADIO's campus forms part of a long-term plan to develop a vibrant tertiary education hub in the northern corridor of Cape Town — and that corridor runs right through your neighbourhood. If you've been wondering whether now is a good time to find out what your home is worth, the answer is yes. I offer free, no-obligation market assessments for homeowners across Durbanville.
