The site is located within Cape Town’s CBD Foreshore precinct, next to the City’s Civic Centre complex, and close to major public transport infrastructure.
The City of Cape Town has greenlit plans for inner-city affordable housing and mixed-use development of a municipal parking lot at the Civic Centre in the CBD.
The site will now go to Council to approve public participation on releasing the site for redevelopment.
"We are recommending that this parking lot be released by the City to unlock yet another affordable housing development right in the heart of the inner-city. The development should also offer mixed use opportunities, for shops, offices, parking and so on. This is how we are making under-used public assets work for Capetonians with a broader land release pipeline of over 12 000 affordable housing units,’ said Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis.
The site is currently used as an open-air staff parking facility.
