THE RADLEY , BELLVILLE
The Radley , a modern high-rise development in Bellville , Cape Town , is currently under construction with completion expected in July 2025 . Located at 4 Iona Street , this new residential building is designed by BPAS Architects to cater to a variety of urban lifestyles , including individuals , couples and families . It combines fresh aesthetics with practical and sustainable design elements , prioritising functionality and community well-being .
The building will house 59 residential units and features a distinctive design that integrates green tones with breeze block façades , giving it a unique architectural character . Rooftop communal spaces , including garden and braai areas , offer stunning views and create inviting spaces for residents to relax and socialise . Initially planned for the ground floor , these spaces were relocated to the rooftop due to parking limitations , turning a design challenge into an innovative rethinking of urban community living .
Sustainability is a core focus of The Radley . Elements such as solar panels , rainwater harvesting systems , and green roofs
have been included to reduce environmental impact while boosting energy efficiency and biodiversity . These measures not only lower the building ’ s ecological footprint but also ensure its long-term value and relevance .
Accessibility is another priority , and The Radley offers adaptable layouts , step-free access , secure parking , and easy connections to transport nodes .
Beyond its aesthetics , The Radley aims to inspire future urban developments and elevate the architectural standards of the northern suburbs neighbourhood . It is the first of several planned projects in the area , and BPAS hopes it will set a benchmark for upcoming residential design in Bellville .
The Radley represents a forward-thinking approach to urban living , creating a vibrant and inclusive multi-generational community . The project involves a collaborative team , including Andre Roux Planning , FMW Engineers , EAS Engineers , KCE Consulting Engineers , and Dalmar Construction .
