After working around the clock despite one of Cape Town’s wettest winters in 10 years last year, GVK-Siya Zama completed the redevelopment of Cape Town Station into a mixed-use residential and retail space.One of the company’s largest projects to date, by value – and its largest in the Western Cape – the development has opened a direct corridor between Strand Street and the Cape Town Railway Station.
According to GVK-Siya Zama’s managing director of its Cape business unit, Chris Maughan, the redevelopment aims to introduce student accommodation in a transport node that could service both UCT, CPUT and other significant tertiary educational campuses. The team was also challenged to use budget-conscious products and deliver them in upmarket fashion. ‘Many elements had an industrial look and feel,’ explained Maughan. ‘We had to find ways to retain the architectural features without making the development feel too basic.’
Maughan added that the building boasts solar and energy-efficient appliances, including many safety features, specifically related to fire compliance.
