Live & Work

Wake up to the harbour and enjoy your favourite coffee spot as you experience the convenience of having everything within walking distance.

Living at the V&A Waterfront means living inside one of the most connected neighbourhoods in Africa, with everything that comes with it: security, convenience and a view that never gets old.

Our Impact

At the V&A Waterfront, people come together to work, visit, create and belong. More than a destination, it's a neighbourhood of opportunity, supporting 30,000 direct jobs and contributing R45.9 billion to the economy. ‍

Our Impact

Granger Bay

A new stretch of Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline is being opened up to the city. Over the next 15 to 20 years, this R20 billion-plus development will bring new homes, hotels, jobs, public space and a protected bay for swimming, kayaking and boating. A 540-metre seawall will help protect the coastline, while a new coastal walkway will connect the V&A directly to the Sea Point promenade.

Development

With a view

Almost every table at the V&A Waterfront comes with a view — working harbour, marina or Table Mountain. These are the ones right on the water: PIER and The Waterside over the harbour, Grand Africa on the beach, Den Anker and Quay 4 on the quayside.
