  ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT
  Today, having grown enormously, Garden Cities serves a new dispensation in South Africa but still adheres to the Deed of Trust that was signed at its founding, with the main purpose 'to provide better housing and social conditions for the people, the latter purpose to be construed in its widest sense.' The trustees, or directors, as they are now called, up to only a short time ago received no remuneration for their services, and continue to be drawn from the City's highest echelon of business and the professions.
  The story of Garden Cities is underscored by the enormous care that is taken with each of the new developments, which included Meadowridge in the south peninsula, Elfindale, Square Hill and Edgemead among others. Today, 100 years after the company came into being as a builder of communities, that is still the main objective.
  In line with Garden Cities' preoccupation with quality, the new developments on the west coast at Sunningdale and also in the northern areas of Cape Town at Pinehurst, follow the same exacting standards of layout, design and construction.
  In 2016, Garden Cities embarked on a new and ground-breaking development destined to eventually accommodate 16 000 households across the economic spectrum at Greenville Garden City its new suburb at Fisantekraal.
  Garden Cities has not wavered in its devotion to fair dealing throughout its long history, and today, that good reputation stands unchallenged, as it has over the past 100 years.
