THE ELLA , 70 QUARRY HILL ROAD
FWJK Development is about to launch The Ella , a new and exciting development based on FWJK ’ s lucrative co-development at-cost methodology . Tiaan Greyling , head of FWJK Architecture believes this luxury development nestled on the slopes of Lions Head in Cape Town will be a fantastic addition to the surrounding area and an extraordinary development .
This luxurious residential development consists of twentyeight prime apartments spread out over five levels , ranging from 1-bedroom apartments to 3-bedroom penthouses . The Ella features a rooftop deck with a pool and bar with a spectacular view of Devil ' s Peak , Table Mountain , and the cityscape below .
The site faces east towards Stellenbosch and Paarl . Given the site location on the northeastern slope of Lions Head , residents will enjoy ample morning and midday sun with the mountain creating a shadow and shielding it from the harshest late afternoon sun .
Positioned on the slopes of Lions Head , The Ella development enjoys fantastic 360 º views of Cape Town : the CBD , Table Bay , Devils Peak , Table Mountain , Lions Head , and Signal Hill . There is a large sports field right in front and below the development . The open space in front of the development further enhances the uninterrupted views over the city and Table Bay .
The Ella development was designed with style and elegance in mind , creating a building with soft curves that flow from one side to the other . Each apartment has specifically been designed to be spacious and luxurious .
