SA MIXED-USE BUILDINGS SET TO BE RADICALLY REDEFINED -
FIRST OF ITS KIND DEVELOPMENT LAUNCHES ON THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD
A totally unique, luxury mixed-used development has launched on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard that is unlike anything else yet seen in South Africa. This exciting, future icon development, called Station House, is set to redefine what people look for in mixed-use buildings, as well as the future of inner-city living.
Located at 19 Kloof Road in the heart of Sea Point, one of the most desirable and growing areas of Cape Town, Station House is a 12-storey architectural masterpiece, that when completed, will feature 230 meticulously appointed luxury apartments, ranging from studios to one-beds, two-beds and micro units - with prices starting at only R1.595m VAT inclusive.
"Give me a reason to leave the building."
The development will also feature 15 facilities within one address. A boutique hotel - providing investors an alternative property asset option within the Atlantic Seaboard - a signature Pick n Pay supermarket, a street-front deli bar and restaurant, a private-residents lounge with braai areas, private rooftop residents pool, a dedicated pet park, an outdoor kinetic gym, yoga studio, a business centre with meeting pods, as well as an open-to-the-public sky bar, swimming pool and restaurant - all of which will enjoy incredible views of the ocean, Lions Head and the city scene.
Marketed by DG Properties and developed by Berman Brothers in partnership with D2E Properties, Station House gives residents everything they need within their own space. As a lock-up-and-go lifestyle solution, Station House is a home, a workplace, a retail space and an entertainment venue, all in one.
Paul Berman, CEO of Berman Bros Group explains that he and his brother grew up in the exact spot where Station House is being developed and have a very personal history with both the site and the area.
"We are extremely excited about this project. We had plans and hopes for the site for many years, but it took years to acquire all the surrounding properties and consolidate them to make up the now considerable 3000 square metre parcel of land on which the Station House development will stand."
Saul Berman, Director of Berman Bros Group, said that "Station House will change the way people think about life, work, and play. We have partnered with the best minds in the SA property industry, and innovation will take us - and Station House residents - to the next level."
"The design of Station House is absolutely world-class and cutting edge - it is a piece of architectural art in a very pivotal and strategic position as you enter Sea Point. We worked with architectural firms Vivid Architects as well as Inhouse Architects and we believe that Station House will elevate the entire Sea Point area - as a rising tide lifts all boats," says Berman.
'Sleep small, live large.'
The Berman Brothers and Robin Magid, Director of D2E Properties, explain that they set out with the goal of making the apartments at Station House as affordable as possible, to try and assist people in the rental market to convert their rental obligations to similarly priced bond instalments and get onto the property ladder.
"Station House offers great investment opportunities for keen purchasers. There is no development of this quality on the Atlantic Seaboard and with demand for well-priced property continues to escalate, coupled with the low interest rate environment, we have curated a development that speaks to a new market," says Magid. "Our 'sleep small, live large' concept will be fully embraced by the future residents of Station House. The building will capture the strong sense of community that Capetonians enjoy, while offering the majestic views and sites that contribute to the city's global appeal."
"This beautiful and modern Station House development has a distinctly international feel that is in tune with global trends and influences and brings a new lifestyle concept to Sea Point," says Alexa Horne, MD of DG Properties.
"This exciting building will stand as a design icon on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, allowing buyers to invest and live in a distinctive space within the bustling hub of one of the world's most beautiful cities. Station House is close to the vibrant and cosmopolitan high street of Sea Point, known for its eateries and shopping experiences. The popular Promenade with its outdoor gym, small beaches and the Sea Point pools is within walking distance."
"DG and Berman Brothers' ongoing commitment to bringing cutting-edge projects to market is showcased in Station House. This luxury mixed-use building will set a benchmark and redefine the design of mixed-use developments in South Africa. It offers a wonderful opportunity for those who wish to buy-to-live or those looking for a premier investment opportunity in the most desirable location," concludes Horne.
Work on Station House commenced on 6 March 2021 and the expected date of completion is December 2022.
