GVK-Siya Zama unveils revitalised Cape Town Station

21 May 2024

Cape Town Station, once a neglected area, has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use hub by GVK-Siya Zama. This ambitious redevelopment, one of the firm's most significant projects to date, faced numerous challenges, including harsh weather conditions and budget constraints. However, the team persevered to deliver this landmark project on time and within budget.

Cape Town Station remodelling is complete

The 77,000m² project has breathed new life into the area, creating a direct pedestrian link between Strand Street and the Cape Town railway station, featuring a grand entrance galleria.

It now offers a 20-storey student residence with 3,000 beds, 6,700m² of retail space, and a world-class public square.

Chris Maughan, MD of GVK-Siya Zama's Cape business unit, emphasized the strategic location of the student accommodation, catering to students from nearby tertiary institutions.

Many of the country's infrastructure projects are in response to climate change.
