Dear Century investor and valued friend;
The year 2010 was an intense experience and a landmark in our country’s colourful history. The 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup stands out as the highlight of the year and with loud vuvuzela’s and colourful makarapa’s we have disproved sceptics who questioned our infrastructure and criticised our crime. We showcased our rich tapestry of cultures and displayed our country’s natural splendour. And we did it with passion - well done Mzanzi!
As we approach the well-earned builder’s holidays over the festive season, we would like to take the time to thank everybody for all their loyal support during this year. Many property developers were forced to face economic hardship by shutting their doors. Not only did Century Property Developments survive these trying times, but rather flourished within it – emerging with a market share that is stronger than ever! Record sales were achieved in Waterfall and numerous other developments were launched.
Please feel free to take the time to read our year-end newsletter, knowing that we will be back next year with even bigger and more-ambitious projects. For those of you whom are planning to travel, please do so with care and enjoy a restful holiday season... For those who have decided to stay in town, our sales offices will operate as usual, with the exception of major public holidays.

Painting the Town Red (and Blue): Century Events and Sponsorships
With numerous launches under our belt, Century also focussed on sponsoring several sporting events such as the Spring Classic Mountain Bike Race at Helderfontein Estate, the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge at Waterfall Country Estate, frequent golf day sponsorships and even a bowls tournament. Other events that Century sponsored were animal related, such as the Royal Canin Dog Day at Waterfall Country Estate, the Avis Derby and the South African Lipizzaners at Waterfall Equestrian Estate. The bridge that connects Maxwell Drive with Allandale was officially opened to the public and Waterfall Manor’s facilities were completed and open to residents. Century also pushed a charity drive where residents of all Century developments donated Christmas gifts for a Midrand orphanage, Jerusalem House. These donations were collected at a “Family Fun Day” held on the grassy embankments of the lake at Waterfall Country Village. read more
Keeping you in the Loop: Updates of Key Projects:
Waterfall Lake is now complete and officially larger than Emmarentia Dam in Johannesburg! With final approvals in place for Waterfall CBD, completion is set to take place in 2012 and Waterfall Hospital will be operational in early 2011. Through all of these activities, Century Property Developments managed to relaunch their official website - making it easier for customers to navigate through the selection of award-winning developments and lifestyle estates. Century staff also caught onto the spirit of the FIFI 2010 Soccer World Cup.

Century Racing: Breaking New Frontiers
Another eventful year of burning rubber and the roar of mammoth engines have drawn to a close with our very own Mark Corbett, CEO of Century, being lauded with second place for his accomplishments in the 400 series. Another whirlwind season will begin in March 2011 with the first race earmarked to take place in the Western Cape. With time ticking, the start of the season will test the mettle of our engineers and their workshop, as they are busy developing and designing a new car for Mark. Mark is currently in the driving seat of a V6 4L, and can’t wait to try out his new vehicle that is set to be a colossal V8 4.6L engine, his first test drive is planned for mid February. The racing team have their sights set on Dakar which will take place towards the end of 2011. Already, our massive service truck has been purchased and will be delivered early in the New Year. Good luck Mark, you have a team of dedicated technicians behind you!
