Planned drainage and sewerage
A coordinated approach to underground drainage, wastewater and the needs of a growing neighbourhood.
Land for Living
A home with room
for life.
Your own land. Fresh air. A neighbourhood with space to walk, play and connect, while keeping your ties with the city.

The possibility
Everyday life, with a little more breathing room.
A home should make space for the life happening around it.
Land for Living brings people together around the possibility of an individual home in an open, well-planned neighbourhood. Ekaah aims to pair the freedom of your own land with high-quality shared infrastructure, at a budget comparable to a city three-bedroom apartment, subject to a complete project cost assessment.
Understand the Ekaah approachDesigned around the community
Thoughtful infrastructure. Better everyday life.
These are the Living infrastructure ambitions. Each project must show what is proposed, approved, funded, being built and ready to use.
Underground electricity
Plan utility distribution below ground to support a cleaner, less cluttered neighbourhood landscape.
Water to each home
Design a dependable supply network alongside rainwater harvesting and responsible water use.
Walking and cycling routes
Pavements and connected trails make movement, outdoor time and neighbourly encounters part of the day.
Parks and places to play
Shared open spaces and play areas create room for children, families and time spent together.
A landscape that belongs here
Use native and locally suitable planting, useful trees and fruit trees to support biodiversity and everyday life.
Could this be your community?
For lives that need a little more space.
A community can offer both the freedom to express yourself and the everyday comfort of knowing your neighbours.
- Growing families seeking space to play and explore
- People who want their own home and garden
- City-connected professionals considering a different daily rhythm
- People who value walking, cycling and time outdoors
- Neighbours who want to shape a community together
A deeper connection
City connected. Nature surrounded.
Living considers locations approximately an hour from a city. The goal is to keep work, schools, healthcare and existing relationships within reach while opening up a different everyday experience. Actual commuting suitability must be assessed against the site, route and your needs.
- Your own home, garden and space to express yourself
- Shared neighbourhood spaces for connection
- Rainwater harvesting and locally rooted landscapes
Compare the complete cost of a home.
The city-apartment comparison is a budget ambition. A meaningful comparison needs a defined city, home specification and all-in project costs, including the expenses that continue after moving in.
- Land and home construction
- Shared infrastructure and common spaces
- Registration, approvals and project fees
- Ongoing maintenance and service charges
What infrastructure is planned for Living?
The ambition includes planned drainage and sewerage, water supply, underground electricity, pavements, walking and cycling routes, parks and play areas. Each project must state which works are proposed, approved, funded, under construction or complete.
Can a home cost the same as a city apartment?
Ekaah aims to explore the possibility of a home on your own land at a budget comparable to a city three-bedroom apartment. Any comparison needs a defined city, site, home specification and complete costs, including infrastructure and recurring charges.
Can I commute from a Living community?
Living considers locations around an hour from a city. Commuting suitability depends on the actual route, traffic, workplace and transport options; project information should include those details.
Who cares for an Escape property when I am away?
The project should define maintenance and security arrangements, the services available, associated charges and the responsibilities of each owner.
