Live in the heart of the park and city in Century City’s On Park

PICTURE the sheer convenience of having all your essentials a short stroll or a leisurely bike ride away from your front door. Whether it’s your beloved coffee haunt or the nearby grocery store, everything is within easy reach.

“The balanced lifestyle we have and promote in Century City is truly exceptional,” says Mariska Auret, director at Rabie Property Group, the main developer of the precinct for the past two decades.

“Here, you can bid farewell to long commutes and say hello to more time spent doing what you love. You’ll have ample time to relish the simple pleasures of life, such as exploring our canals, which stretch for over 8km, at your own pace or spending time in green open spaces like Ratanga Park or Intaka Island,” Auret continues.

Living here is convenient and better for the environment. With less reliance on cars and more emphasis on walking and cycling, you can reduce your carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future for everyone.

“Living in Century City facilitates a healthier lifestyle as our urban design principles encourage physical activity,” says Auret.

Rabie’s latest contribution to finding the ideal balanced lifestyle is Ratanga Park, a green space open to the public free of charge. It was created by moving 75 000 cubic metres of earth, with a water body covering about 1.6 hectares. Water features, winding walking paths, and a children’s play area have been created amid lush landscaping.

Residents and visitors can enjoy the new custom-built Century City Tram, which takes in a variety of South African art pieces dotted throughout the park and precinct.

On Park comprises 121 apartments, including several studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The top floor boasts penthouses with panoramic views over the park and towards Cape Town’s CBD and Table Mountain.

“On Park is an iconic circular pavilion building set in a park environment with a sculptural, organic and soft shape that blends seamlessly with the natural landscape,” says Auret.

The circular form of the building provides an edge to Ratanga Park while also preserving view lines from Century Boulevard to the park, inviting the public into the park space. Your views range from the Overberg mountains in the distance and Table Mountain, the park and all the way to Century City’s lights and Tygerberg. The inwardly facing apartments enjoy views down into the designed green circular courtyard.

On Park will feature sustainable design and has qualified for preliminary EDGE certification, incorporating green energy initiatives and sustainable water solutions such as recycled effluent for irrigation, reduced utility costs and water-wise landscaping.

Building features include backup power for the common areas and apartments, ensuring that load shedding will not affect residents. Every apartment has pre-installed Fibre-to-the-Home, and the building has access control and CCTV, in addition to Century City’s smart safety and security measures.

There are 13 restaurants and coffee shops in the immediate vicinity, several hotels, a world-class conference centre, two gyms and Canal Walk

Shopping Centre.

“If you’re seeking a lifestyle that’s convenient and sustainable, living in Century City’s 15-minute city is the perfect fit for you,” concludes Auret.

The development is selling out off- plan and Rabie Property Group is aiming for completion by November next year. To register your interest, visit www.onpark.capetown today.
