The City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality invites Expressions of Interest (EoI) from qualified and experienced strategic development partners to participate in the implementation of the CBD Revitalisation Programme. In advancing the long-term objectives of the 30 Year Aerotropolis Master Plan, Council has approved the City of Ekurhuleni Municipal Spatial Development Framework (MSDF) 2025. Central to the MSDF is the implementation of 18 Council approved precinct plans, which provide a structured, spatially targeted framework to unlock investment, accelerate regeneration, and revitalise the City’s CBDs through private sector-led development initiatives supported by coordinated public sector interventions.

Through this EoI process, the City seeks to identify strategic and capable partners to collaborate with the municipality in translating approved spatial frameworks, precinct plans and urban development strategies into viable, investment‑ready and socially responsive projects. These partnerships are intended to unlock catalytic development, crowd-in private capital, and support the implementation of projects that reinforce Ekurhuleni’s role as an integrated, competitive, and resilient metropolitan economy.

The purpose of this EoI is to leverage strategic private sector expertise, innovation, capital, and delivery capability through structured partnership arrangements, including potential Public‑Private Partnerships (PPPs) and blended finance models, to implement catalytic and scalable interventions. These interventions are intended to reposition identified nodes as engines of economic growth, social inclusion, and long‑term urban sustainability, while accelerating the implementation of the City’s strategic spatial and development priorities.
