AMDEC TO DEVELOP R1.2 BILLION MIXED-USE THE YACHT CLUB AT THE GATEWAY TO CAPE
TOWN’S WATERFRONT
The Amdec Group recently announced it will develop The Yacht
Club, a unique R1,2 billion mixed-use landmark at the magnificent
gateway to Cape Town’s Waterfront.
This prestigious development will comprise residential, hotel, and
office space, making it an ideal mixed use facility for those wishing
to live, work, and play within a safe and secure precinct.
Amdec Property Development, part of the Amdec Group, are the
development managers of The Yacht Club.
Nicolas Stopforth, Amdec Property Development’s Joint MD,
says The Yacht Club’s outstanding location makes it the ideal site for
a mixed use development. Amdec is recognised as South Africa’s
leading developer of New Urban lifestyles, with the iconic Melrose
Arch mixed-use precinct part of its pioneering portfolio.
Stopforth explains: “The Yacht Club is strategically positioned
adjacent to the V&A Waterfront, a stone’s throw from the Cape Town
International Convention Centre (CTICC) and on the doorstep of the
city’s historic Foreshore. A variety of world-class tourist, business,
retail, and recreation facilities are all well represented within the
immediate vicinity”.

The Yacht Club is located within the Roggebaai Canal Tourism
Precinct, named after the Roggebaai Canal which runs through it,
connecting Cape Town’s financial hub, the vibrant CTICC, and the
V&A Waterfront.
The striking nautically inspired design will reflect the heritage of
this unique setting. On completion it will be the biggest development
of its kind in the Roggebaai Precinct, joining the existing developments
of Harbour Bridge Hotel & Suites and Canal Quays apartments.
Set for completion mid-2017, The Yacht Club will include a podium
of modern, flexible office space and two towers of urban hotel and
apartment living. It also benefits from a secure, vibrant and connected
precinct, generous parking, easy access, excellent design, quality
finishes and animated public areas alongside the pedestrianised
canal environment. The Yacht Club’s contemporary, A-grade business
space includes excellently situated offices that are flexible in design.
Stopforth also confirms that the development has the potential to
include a hotel and associated serviced apartments. Negotiations with
a well known international hotel group are advanced in this regard.
