Exclusive Umhlanga penthouse floors – A crown jewel in Durban’s skyline
In an extraordinary market opportunity, the top two floors of Umhlanga’s most iconic structure are now available through an exclusive tender process.
These magnificent penthouse levels in The Arch Complex – the tallest building adorning Umhlanga Ridge’s prestigious skyline – represent one of South Africa’s most compelling luxury real estate acquisitions of 2025.
The combined 1,803m² across the 22nd and 23rd floors previously housed the legendary Pencil Club (now under business rescue) – a pinnacle of luxury and sophistication.
This spectacular space is offered unfurnished (with furnishings available separately) and presents an unparalleled canvas for visionary investors.
“The property’s previous incarnation featured amenities that define ultra-luxury,” said Rainer Stenzhorn, National Sales & Marketing Manager at In2Assets.
“From the rooftop swimming pool with panoramic ocean views to the fully equipped commercial kitchen and banquet facilities, every element was meticulously crafted by award-winning designers.”
The breathtaking 360-degree vistas encompass Umhlanga’s pristine coastline, the Indian Ocean horizon, and the vibrant business district below – views simply unmatched anywhere in KwaZulu-Natal.
Confidential tender process for discerning investors
Rather than proceeding with a traditional auction, In2Assets has chosen to present this landmark property through their exclusive Property Dealroom platform.
The Property Dealroom is a bespoke digital environment designed specifically for high-profile, premium real estate acquisitions.
“The nature of this property and its potential demand from executive buyers necessitates a more discreet approach,” said Alex Winterburn, In2Assets’ Chief Commercial Officer.
“Our Property Dealroom ensures that only serious, qualified investors gain access to the detailed documentation and tender process.”
Prospective buyers must first sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to access the virtual “vault” containing comprehensive due diligence materials, detailed floor plans, and tender documentation.
This controlled environment safeguards sensitive information while providing serious investors with everything needed to make informed decisions.
Prime positioning for multiple premium applications
The property’s strategic location in Umhlanga Ridge – Durban’s premier business and lifestyle hub – combined with its existing architectural infrastructure, positions it perfectly for various high-end applications.
Viable pathways include corporate headquarters with executive club facilities, luxury hospitality venues, premium residential conversions, or mixed-use concepts.
Additionally, the immediate vicinity offers everything elite occupants demand, including five-star hotels, premium dining establishments, upscale retail, and seamless access to King Shaka International Airport.
Time-sensitive opportunity
Tenders must be submitted by 11:00 AM on May 14th, ensuring a defined window for interested parties to secure this landmark property.
With Umhlanga’s luxury real estate market continuing its upward trajectory, this represents not just an acquisition but a statement positioning within one of South Africa’s most sought-after locations.
