City of Cape Town proposes affordable housing on prime Green

More than four hectares of prime land across the boundary of Green Point and Sea Point are to be auctioned off by the City of Cape Town for mixed-use development which includes affordable housing.

The plan to sell the triangular site between Main Road and Helen Suzman Boulevard, which includes the Sea Point library on the western edge, and an electrical substation on the east, was approved during a council meeting in December last year.
