Register for updates on proposed Green Point mixed-use development
07 February 2025
On Thursday, 6 February, the City of Cape Town officially launched the public participation process for a proposed mixed-use development, including affordable housing and commercial opportunities, situated on prime property in Green Point.
The City of Cape Town’s Economic Growth Directorate is encouraging residents, businesses, and interested parties to register and participate in the upcoming public participation opportunities for the proposed mixed use development on prime Green Point property.
The property is situated at 1 Three Anchor Bay Road, Green Point, which is remarkably well-connected to key destinations along the Atlantic Seaboard and Cape Town’s CBD, close to key landmarks such as the Sea Point Promenade, Cape Town Stadium and Urban Park, and the V&A Waterfront.
The City envisages a mixed-used development to help drive economic and socio-economic benefits while increasing affordable housing in the area. The City further intends to retain existing community amenities such as the library service point and civic hall on the site, with the land release process set to identify parts of the site that may need to remain in public ownership to accommodate this.
Other current uses of the property currently include privately operated sports grounds and clubhouses, public parking, an electrical substation, an ECD, and vacant undeveloped land that is used periodically as an informal market.
The City will consider the possible inclusion of the existing tenants where feasible. There are four active leases in place on the site that will be considered based on the outcome of the planned specialist studies. The City has been engaging the tenants in this regard and will continue the engagement as part of the stakeholder participation process. All existing use rights to the site are due to expire by September 2025.
Last year Mayco and Council approved the initiation of a public participation process for this proposed mixed-use development. See more here.
Service provider Infinity has been appointed to manage the stakeholder engagement process that commences with this pre-registration process and will take place over the coming months. Once registered, further communication will be sent out to inform the public of upcoming opportunities for further public participation.
‘The City is committed to partnering with the public to help drive economic and socio-economic benefits while increasing affordable housing in the area to benefit Cape Town. This is a long-term project which will include detailed studies to result in the best development plan for the site that resonates with the market, while advancing the City’s socio-economic objectives. The City is seeking to realise the full market value of the land and expects to raise significant revenue from the land sale, and future rates contributions from the development, for reinvestment in service delivery and infrastructure upgrades throughout the metro.
‘The City invites all stakeholders to participate in this open, transparent process. Register to stay informed and share your views,’ said Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth.
