SMART CITY ALAN WINDE, PREMIER OF THE WESTERN CAPE
“
These 250 hectares, nestled between Milnerton, the N1, and the Air Force Base, have been transformed into a world-class precinct. It stands today as one of the most significant and economically vital developments not just in Cape Town, but in South Africa as a whole. With the largest shopping mall, Canal Walk, in our metro, highly sought-after office spaces, and residential properties that are snapped up as quickly as they’re developed, Century City has become a shining example of successful urban development. What sets this development apart is the care taken for the environment, including the preservation of the stunning Intaka Island wetland. Now, it’s also home to one of the city’s most beautiful green spaces, Ratanga Park, which is surrounded by wonderful developments. I spend time there often, and it fills me with pride to see how well this area has flourished. I want to offer my sincere thanks to Rabie and the entire team for your immense contribution to Cape Town’s growth. You’ve played a major role in shaping our vibrant, thriving city, and I’m excited for what the next 20 years hold for Century City and beyond. Here’s to the future! If we reflect on the past two decades of Century City’s development, the scale of progress is truly staggering.
Over the years I’ve spent in government, I’ve had the privilege of watching this incredible city grow – and within it, Century City, a remarkable “city within a city” that offers so much to celebrate. “
I want to extend my deepest thanks to the visionaries and investors behind it all. I remember being at the opening of the Century City Conference Centre and seeing firsthand the impact it had on our regional economy. It positioned us here, at the southern tip of Africa, as a world- renowned conference destination. The economic returns on investment have been nothing short of astounding – from the thousands of front doors to the bustling office spaces, Century City has truly become a powerhouse in our economy. Congratulations to everyone involved, and here’s to the next 20 years.
