Cape Quarter Square

Cape Quarter Square is a mixed-use complex with shops, restaurants and offices. It stands at 27 Somerset Road, Green Point, Cape Town, South Africa, according to the project page on the RDC website. The centre's official website also calls it the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village and places it in the historic De Waterkant district. The building is part of the portfolio of RDC Properties, a company listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange, which calls it its flagship property in Cape Town.

Status and timeline

RDC's project page gives no status and no construction, completion or refurbishment dates. The centre's website says it is open seven days a week, with seasonal hours (on weekdays, 9 am to 6 pm in summer and 9 am to 5 pm in winter). Construction and completion dates are not published. Ask the centre management or RDC Properties for them.

Homes and prices

None of the sources consulted mention homes for sale in Cape Quarter Square. No sale prices, rents or unit sizes are published either. The centre provides leasing terms for shops and offices on request.

Old Cape Quarter, a separate neighbouring project

Old Cape Quarter belongs to the same Cape Quarter Precinct but is a different project. The centre's website describes it as renovated and focused on design, with restaurants and the piazza. The project's own website lists 55 homes, from one- and two-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom penthouses. It credits the architecture firm dhk and gives the agency Leapfrog as the contact. It names no developer and publishes no dates. These homes should not be confused with Cape Quarter Square.

Access and services

• Wheelchair access at the Somerset Road and Jarvis Street entrances, according to the centre's website.
• ATMs from Capitec, FNB, Nedbank and Standard Bank, with no foreign exchange.
• The centre says it holds a 5-star Green Building rating because of its recycling and solar PV panels. This is the centre's own claim, published on its about page.
