Projects

Development initiatives

Every project below carries an explicit stage label — concept, memorandum, government presentation or structuring. A concept is described as a concept; that is what keeps this page credible.

South Africa · investment memorandum 2026

Clear City

A new-generation city proposed for the KZN North Coast corridor of KwaZulu-Natal — the inland corridor along the N2, in the catchment of King Shaka International Airport, the Dube TradePort SEZ and the Port of Durban.

~150 km²development zone (concept)
4phases over 25–30 years
5Mtarget population (concept)
Privatecapital model — no state funding
MODEL

Polycentric, self-sustaining

Not one monolithic city but a network of 15-minute districts, each phase generating the cash flows that fund the next. Off-grid energy and autonomous water systems from day one — independence from load-shedding as a core competitive advantage.

STATUS

Where the project stands

Investment memorandum published in 2026. The first-year roadmap covers alignment with the KZN provincial government under the Eastern Seaboard RSDF (2022), an independent pre-feasibility study, consultations with traditional leaders, and the structuring of the project SPV.

Zone programmes

Presented to the Government of South Africa

Two infrastructure programmes for the Free Economic & Innovation Zone were presented at government level in June 2026. Financing is private in both cases; the request to the state is a mandate and regulatory support, not budget.

FEIZ · 01

Digital resident registry

A biometric identity system for residents, workers and investors of the zone — the administrative backbone for a city of this scale.

  • Secure IDs, business licensing and access to city services
  • Data held inside South Africa under sovereign control, POPIA-compliant
  • Delivery through a technology partner disclosed at due diligence
  • Request: a mandate for a pilot within the FEIZ perimeter
FEIZ · 02

Energy vertical — renewable fuels

A biofuel complex producing HVO and sustainable aviation fuel on a field-to-product chain, anchoring the zone's energy independence.

  • Agri feedstock base, deep-processing plant, logistics and R&D
  • Addresses South Africa's ~95% dependence on imported fuel products
  • Next stages: site-specific feasibility, then environmental assessment (NEMA)
  • Request: land mandate within the zone and permitting support
Italy · first asset in structuring

OXYGEN Collection

A longevity-hospitality brand: acquiring solid, under-positioned resort hotels and transforming them into four-star longevity retreats anchored by oxygen spa programmes.

FLAGSHIP

Lido di Jesolo

An operating hotel on the Adriatic coast, about an hour from Venice, acquired for repositioning: modern rooms already renovated, investment directed at the oxygen spa and the move from 3★ to a 4★ retreat.

CONCEPT

Longevity as the anchor service

Oxygen therapy capsules and longevity programmes turn seasonal beach demand into year-round wellness demand — the value is created by service and brand, not by construction.

STRUCTURE

UAE holding, Italian asset

The property is held by an Italian company established by the group's UAE holding; the OXYGEN brand and methodology are held separately. The flagship transaction is in structuring and due diligence.
