Update 24 January 2024
To all Members,
During 2023 the Bakersville team worked hard to establish a stable and reliable administration
platform as well as a structured customer data base. This entailed the revision of documents and
processes to making future engagements with customers easier, faster, and safer.
Furthermore, the team was also hard at work to engage with, and foster solid relationships with the
professional team that includes town planners, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, etc. In
addition to this, Bakersville management was in regular contact with several government
departments in order to duly follow regulatory processes and a huge focus was placed on dealing
with a growing number of prospective investors, both in residential and commercial/industrial
ventures. This was a daunting and a challenging task, but we are pleased to report that big strides
were made in the process towards progression.
An important phenomenon that also emerged during the latter part of 2023, was the interest in the
Bakersville venture from foreign clients from different parts of the world – this includes the interest
in portions reserved by Namibians that reside abroad. So far, there are about 600 clients that
applied to reserve residential portions and about 80 – 100 that did the same for commercial or
industrial portions in the extension called ‘Nevdale’. The demand for portions to be reserved is
growing steadily and the positive participation of clients to promote Bakersville is commendable and
most pleasing.
Also, during 2023, negotiations started with funders and developers to establish a huge solar farm
on the most eastern border of Bakersville where 760 hectares have been put aside for this venture.
The initial stage of the solar farm would deliver between 100MW and 150MW. Furthermore, during
the course of the year, the mandatory environmental impact submissions were made to
government. This was one of the most comprehensive submissions of its kind yet to be submitted in
Namibia.
The Bakersville management team is very excited about 2024 as the soon to-be-expected outcome
of the environmental impact submission will unlock several processes towards title deeds
establishments, title registrations and the commencement of development activity on the ground.
The FAQ section on the Bakersville website and Bakersville client WhatsApp group, will now be
updated on a monthly basis the first of which will be during the first week of February 2024.
