  • High Demand, Guaranteed Occupancy: Both universities are within proximity, making this a central hub for student accommodation.

R312 450 per month at NSFAS’s rate of R4 166 per student.

  • Expansion Potential: Approved plans add approximately 556m2 including the ground floor space, creating room for an additional 79 students.
  • Total Income Potential: Fully utilized, the property can generate R641 564 per month in rental income from student accommodation alone, this excludes the retail income.

This is more than just accommodation, it’s a stable, scalable income stream backed by government funding and driven by ever-growing student demand. With the expansion already approved, investors can step into a high-yield opportunity with immediate returns and long-term growth.

A rare chance to secure a high performing investment in one of Cape Town’s most active mixed use corridors.
