THE GRANGER, GREEN POINT
Construction has commenced on The Granger, a R2-billion mixed-use development adjacent to DHL Stadium in Green Point, Cape Town. Strategically positioned between the city’ s CBD and the Atlantic seaboard, the project occupies one of the last major undeveloped sites in the area. The start of construction was celebrated on Thursday, 6 November, with a sod-turning ceremony and launch event attended by Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, alongside key partners, architects, and stakeholders.
“ This is an exciting project that will transform this part of the city into a vibrant, connected precinct,” says Vos.“ My department worked hard to facilitate this transaction because it’ s exactly the kind of development that brings Cape Town’ s economic strategy to life, one that creates jobs, attracts investment, and supports small businesses.”
The development, supported by the City of Cape Town, is a joint venture between The Devmark Property Group, led by Executive Chairman Hein Ehlers, and The Feenstra Group, headed by Group CEO Pieter Feenstra. Together, they bring decades of experience across residential, commercial, and industrial property, marking one of the most significant private sector collaborations in Cape Town’ s recent development pipeline.
“ Delivering a mixed-use development of this scale is rare and represents a significant milestone in South Africa,” says Feenstra.“ Its accessibility, high visibility, and convenient location make it ideally positioned to attract tenants and visitors while maximising the project’ s overall impact.”
The Granger will feature a mix of hospitality, retail, and offices, including an international hotel group with 190 rooms, 200 apartments, 3,000m ² of retail space, and 14,000m ² of P-grade office space.“ We’ re excited to have concluded a funding transaction with RMB for this landmark project,” says Ehlers.
The DHL Stadium currently attracts around 1.2-million visitors annually, hosting major sporting events, concerts, and conferences. With The Granger adjacent, developers anticipate it will act as an extension of the area’ s activity, creating an integrated urban destination rather than a standalone site.“ Our goal is to complement the stadium while standing proudly alongside it,” says Ehlers.
The city has championed initiatives to position Cape Town as a premier destination for global events.“ By integrating hotels, retail, and office spaces, The Granger will transform the area, boost tourism, support local businesses, and provide unmatched convenience for visitors and residents,” says Feenstra.
Construction is expected to continue through 2027, with completion targeted for early 2028. Once operational, The Granger will be“ one of the largest and most transformative developments Cape Town has seen in recent years,” agree Ehlers and Feenstra.
