Cape Town City Council has officially approved the release of a centrally located site—formerly home to a Fruit & Veg store—for a major affordable housing development. Situated between Kent and Bloemhof Streets near District Six, the 3,300m² property will host a mixed-use project with 237 affordable units, part of a broader plan to deliver over 12,000 units citywide. The development, led by YG Group, places future residents within walking distance of schools, transport, and job opportunities, marking a significant step in breaking down spatial inequality.
