Silvertree, Ashton Park, Century City
Silvertree, a new block of 31 apartments,
is being launched at Century City, the
burgeoning mixed use development in
Cape Town, by leading developer, Rabie
Property Group.
The development forms the second
phase of the R270m Ashton Park residential
project and follows the success of phase
one, Waterberry, where 32 of the 43 units
have been sold since its launch earlier
this year.
Project manager, Miguel Rodrigues,
said sales at Waterberry had exceeded
expectations with close to 78% in value
sold, requiring they now accelerate
the development of Silvertree to meet

ongoing demand for homes at Century
City, particularly those in close proximity
to the Curro Private School which opened
in January. Silvertree, he said, would
not only be built on a site adjacent to
the school but would enjoy tranquil
views over the tree lined sports field and
Helderberg Mountains.
“Comprising 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units
and one 4 bedroom penthouse, Silvertree
apartments are generous and range
from 87m2 to 287m2, including balconies.
Apartments will be selling for between
R1,185,000 and R2,385,000, including VAT,
while the penthouse will have a price tag
of R3,995,000.
