The Newlands Cricket Ground( NCG) is an international, national and local treasure that has provided sporting theatre since its inception in 1888. With Table Mountain and Devil’ s Peak standing as dramatic backdrops to the theatre of cricket, The NCG is widely regarded as one of the most iconic international cricket grounds in the world.
The NCG is co-owned by Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd and WPCA Property Holdings( Pty) Ltd, whose shareholders are the Western Province Cricket Association( WPCA) and Cricket South Africa NPC( CSA). As a means of bolstering the financial viability of cricket in the province, the co-owners opted to redevelop the northern portion of the property while retaining the iconic stadium as a world-class facility.
Creating a Mixed-Use Sports Precinct The first phase of the development was undertaken during the pandemic and completed in late 2022. Remarkably, apart from programme-related delays, the pandemic had a minimal impact on the leasing and viability of the development. This is largely attributed to the fact that the goal of the co-owners was to design and redevelop the NCG into a sustainable, mixed-use sports, educational and commercial campus. That goal has been achieved with aplomb and the take-up of space has been exceptional.
