Cape Quarter

De Waterkant, Green Point, Cape Town

Cape Quarter is De Waterkant's lifestyle anchor and one of the most distinctively positioned retail destinations in the city. This boutique, mixed-use village in the heart of Green Point draws a design-literate audience who come for the experience as much as the product, and convenience. 

With approximately 60 stores in total, with retail offerings spanning fashion, jewellery, homeware, health and beauty, art galleries, specialty food and a large (very nice) Spar grocery store, the precinct is curated and unhurried.

The open-air piazza, courtyard dining and heritage Cape architecture create an atmosphere that encourages people to linger. Its location near the V&A Waterfront, Green Point Stadium and the Convention Centre ensures a steady mix of local regulars, professionals and international visitors, though footfall does fluctuate seasonally. 

For premium lifestyle and design brands, this is one of the best aligned pop-up environments in Cape Town. Space here is in high demand, so we recommend that you make quick decisions when a short term rental opportunity here is presented.
