Crossberry & Cussonia Central

Crossberry & Cussonia Central is a residential development in Midrand, in South Africa's Gauteng province. It was built in two phases by RPP Developments for International Housing Solutions (IHS). The developer presents it as a completed project. This page sets out what RPP Developments and IHS publish on their own websites, as read on 13 October 2026, and says plainly what they do not publish.

What the development consists of

The project page in the RPP Developments portfolio gives two figures, one per phase:

• Crossberry Central (Phase 1): 180 units.
• Cussonia Central (Phase 2): an additional 192 units.

Added together, the two phases come to 372 units. The developer uses the word "units" and does not specify the type of home, the number of rooms or the floor area. Crossberry Central and Cussonia Central are therefore two names for two phases of one project, which is why they appear sometimes together and sometimes on their own.

A turnkey development for IHS

RPP Developments describes the project as a turnkey development completed for International Housing Solutions. The page does not spell out what the contract covered: it does not say what was handed over to IHS, when, or for what amount. It calls the project the company's "most recent" turnkey development, but the page itself carries no date, so that wording cannot be used to work out the year of completion.

The developer: RPP Developments

On its website, RPP Developments presents itself as a South African property development company established in 1977. It lists commercial, retail, industrial, institutional and residential development among its fields, and has offices in Johannesburg (Bryanston) and Cape Town (Rondebosch). The project page names no architect and no separate building contractor.

The client: International Housing Solutions

On its website, the IHS Group says it funds the delivery of green affordable housing projects and that it was established in 2005. It also refers to an affiliated property management company, IHS Property Management. On the date it was read, the home page of the IHS website mentioned neither Crossberry Central nor Cussonia Central: the link between IHS and this development is established by the RPP Developments page.

What is not published

• The exact address, suburb and street: the developer's page says only "Midrand, Gauteng".
• The dates on which construction started, and on which each phase was completed and handed over.
• Unit types, floor areas, number of bedrooms and shared facilities.
• Prices, rents and levies: the developer's page shows no amounts at all.
• How the homes are occupied today (rental or sale) and who manages them.

Who to ask

For construction, phasing and dates, the point of contact is RPP Developments, whose contact page lists the telephone number +27 (0) 11 244 8000 and the email address [email protected], with an office at Project House, The Braes Office Park, 193 Bryanston Drive, Bryanston. Questions about ownership and management of the homes are for IHS, whose website gives offices at Peter Place Office Park, 54 Peter Place, Bryanston. Terms shown in an estate agency listing that uses either name are that agency's own: they do not come from the developer, and it is for the agency to confirm them in writing.
