The new commercial building at 14 Dock Road forms part of the Canal District precinct at Cape Town ’ s V & A Waterfront . Situated at the gateway to the Waterfront from the CBD , the V & A commenced with the redevelopment of the Canal District in 2015 , with the development of Battery Park and Waterway House . With Battery Park as the focal point , the aim with the Canal District is to create a fully mixed used precinct within the greater V & A that forms a cohesive link with the CBD . The development of 14 Dock Road , led by the V & A ’ s Development Director Ernst Roodt , has allowed the continued improvement of the infrastructure and pedestrianisation of the Canal District with further development planned to complete the precinct in the near future .
Access In order to alleviate traffic congestion on the main access road into the V & A , the three floors of basement parking are accessed via the rear of the building as well as via a newly constructed slip road underneath Dock Road , which provides entry-only access from the direction of the City and the N1 . With future development in the Dock Road precinct in mind , the basement below 14 Dock Road has been planned and constructed in such as way that it can be expanded into a ‘ super basement ’.
The site was originally occupied by a large Caltex petrol station and convenience store . Built in 1993 , the petrol station was constructed in one of the first phases of development at the modern day V & A .
