The forecourt of Cape Town Station, a landmark in the Cape Town CBD, has been reimagined by Boogertman + Partners for the Eris Property Group as a vibrant new mixed-use space that includes 6,700m2 of modern retail space, accommodation for 3,085 students and a world-class public square.

The new development was conceptualised to serve students attending the nearby Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) but is open to students from any institution seeking quality affordable accommodation in the city. It has been designed and built according to Department of Higher Education (DHET) standards as NSFAS-accredited accommodation.

The development shifts Cape Station’s character from a predominantly transport and railway-related node to a densified multi-purpose urban neighbourhood, embracing the potential of the site to inject new urban life into this part of the city. It aims to strengthen and restore aspects of the urban design in the area while consolidating the nature of this historical precinct and creating a new urban landmark.
