Cape Town office block converted into hotel, apartments

Cape Town - Boutique developer Signatura is evolving Nedbank’s black glass and steel modernist head office at 57 Heerengracht Street into a stylish residential and hospitality development, called The Onyx.

It is conveniently located in Cape Town's CBD - on the Foreshore opposite the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). According to the developers, it is attracting buyers ranging from seasoned investors to young professionals.

“We are particularly proud of the fact that we offer all purchasers access to a suite of amenities and services usually restricted to an exclusive hotel," says Signatura founder John Rabie. And if you buy a penthouse, it includes a Jaguar F-Pace SUV.

“The Onyx will raise the standard of design excellence and service to a level that can only be meaningfully compared with landmark apartments in New York, London and Paris,” claims Rabie.
 
Buyers can choose from 35m² studios to penthouses of over 400m² with roof gardens and private pools. Prices start at R1.7m and the project is being jointly developed with Nedbank Corporate and Investment Bank.

Hospitality and management services will be provided by the Newmark Hotels, Reserves and Lodges Group.
