renewal in the area. It involved a public component and pedestrian-friendly street interface, as well as upgrading the streets connecting to the Stellenbosch CBD and university.
To prioritise the pedestrianised character of the surrounding streets, parking has been concealed from street view beneath the development. In typical Stellenbosch style, a street café and retail activate the sidewalks.
The development contributed over R35 million in privately raised funding for infrastructure upgrades and precinct security, adding value to the broader community, making it a more accessible and desirable place for students and residents alike. The One’ s location and design foster a strong sense of community, providing students with a supportive environment that integrates well with the broader town.
The ripple effect of The One’ s success has catalysed interest in the precinct, with several adjacent properties now earmarked for future student housing developments. Other local infrastructure upgrades include precinct-wide pedestrianisation initiatives, which further reduce car dependence and contribute to long-term environmental and social sustainability.
