Public participation still open for landmark Green Point mixed-use development
19 August 2025
The City of Cape Town has officially launched the statutory Public Participation Process (PPP) for the proposed disposal of Erf 2187, Three Anchor Bay Road, Green Point - a prime City-owned site along the Atlantic Seaboard, for mixed-use development.
A Strategic Site for Inclusive Growth
Located near the Sea Point Promenade, Green Point Urban Park, DHL Stadium and the V&A Waterfront, the site is ideally positioned for a high-density, mixed-use redevelopment. The site falls within the Urban Inner Core of the Municipal Spatial Development Framework (MSDF), while the Table Bay District Spatial Development Framework (2023) earmarks the site as a new development area. This highlights the potential for high-density residential development, including affordable residential infill, linked to the site’s favourable public transport accessibility and land use integration opportunities along Green Point Main Road.
‘By unlocking this strategic site, we aim to create a vibrant, inclusive, and economically productive precinct that will generate new investment, support job creation, and expand the City’s rates base. Importantly, this project is not only about building infrastructure, but also about shaping a sustainable future where business and public amenities come together to strengthen social and economic integration. It represents a key step toward sustainable urban growth, smarter land use, and the responsible management of City-owned assets to the benefit of current and future generations,’ said Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth.
Transport context
The Three Anchor Bay Development Project will be fully integrated into Cape Town’s existing public transport network. The site is adjacent to the MyCiTi Atlantic Corridor, which already provides high-frequency, reliable services linking Camps Bay, Clifton, Sea Point, Green Point, and the CBD.
The proposed development is expected to support and boost the operational efficiency of the current MyCiTi system, which already serves the Atlantic Seaboard. Future enhancements will focus on improving service quality and integration.
Addressing misinformation
The City is aware that some members of the public and residents have been misinformed into believing that the redevelopment project includes plans for a skytrain. This is not the case.
The City is not planning or building a skytrain as part of this development.
‘The City has already invested in a road-based public transport system servicing the CBD and Atlantic seaboard in the form of the MyCiTi bus service. The City is focused on investments that will improve existing services as this is more practical and cost-effective. Strengthening and enhancing the MyCiTi bus service remains a priority with investment in areas of highest demand, such as the metro-south east, where we are currently expanding the footprint to link commuters from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha with Wynberg and Claremont,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
Public Participation
The statutory 30-day public comment period runs from 25 July to 25 August 2025. During this time, residents, businesses, and civic organisations are invited to submit feedback on the proposed sale and redevelopment of the site.
The City emphasises that there is still time for the public to have their say in relation to the proposed sale of Erf 2187, Green Point, in terms of the Municipal Asset Transfer Regulations, Regulation 6. Submissions focused on issues such as land use, affordable housing, traffic, engineering services, heritage, and urban design will be most useful in shaping the next phase of planning.
The project will continue through a multi-phase engagement process, including stakeholder design workshops later in 2025 and statutory planning applications from 2026 onwards.
