Stuart Chait, Developer of Cape Town Emerging market property developer Land Equity Group confirmed the reports and said that the project will really transform Cape Town city and lead to the growth of its economy.
“This building is set to transform the Cape Town city skyline and once complete it will mean that it will finally feature in the ‘top 10 tallest buildings in South Africa’. The building in fact will be the same height as the Reserve Bank building in Pretoria.’’
Chait has in recent times been responsible for various major developments across South Africa, including Melrose Arch, Tyger Falls in Tyger Valley, Big Bay in Bloubergstrand, Nettleton Ridge in Clifton, Victoria Junction adjacent to the V& A Waterfront (Cape Town’s first scalable regeneration mixed-use development), Stonehurst Mountain Estate and several other mixed-use projects in South Africa.
“We are now entering an aggressive development cycle, having raised significant funding for a US$ 3bn pipeline of development projects across sub-Saharan Africa as well as South Africa,” adds Chait.
The proposed mixed-use development will take 30 months for it to be completed with over 60% has already been sold out. It is still to be named, though its current code name is ‘Zero-2-One Tower’.
