The Communicare Property Development and Maintenance Department manages all technical and planning aspects of the Company's existing properties. They also identify and study the feasibility of potential future developments. The acquisition of land for future developments also falls within the department's scope.

Developments, once identified, shown to be feasible and approved by the Company's Board, are developed either wholly in-house or with the assistance of private consultants.

The maintenance and upgrading of the company's existing property portfolio as well as the keeping and updating of records of such properties is also an important function of this Department.

A wide range of developments have been successfully completed by this department in the past ranging from housing projects to shopping centres and complexes for retired persons.

Current market demand for affordable housing far outweighs availability in the Western Cape . Recent sales in Montclair have indicated towards a sustained demand for this area. Buyers have a variety of building plans to choose from that, not only matches their level of affordability, but offers scope for future extensions. Purchasers can choose between nine layout plans and the house plans offers from 2 to 4 bedroom units.

Montclair is situated north of Mitchells Plain and south of Mandalay . Many schools, as well as shopping centres and Lentegeur Hospital are found in the area. Facilities for all worshippers are available. The development is also within walking distance of the recently completed Mandalay Railway Station and bus routes.
