The development has been brought to market and is being sold by Revo, with the go-to-market strategy led by Revo Digital and purchasers able to reserve their residence online through Connect, Revo’s interactive real-time sales platform. Residences priced from R1.895 million Vat-inclusive. Sales are managed by Revo Property.
The boutique hotel brings together individually owned residences, considered hospitality and a professionally managed hotel operation.
At 153 Loop Street, The Delaporte reimagines a heritage building as a contemporary boutique hotel, retaining the character of its original architecture while introducing a new layer of hospitality to one of Cape Town’s most established addresses.
Comprising 43 individually owned sectional-title studios and design suites, priced from R1.895 million Vat-inclusive, The Delaporte offers purchasers the opportunity to own within a boutique hotel, with the option to participate in its professionally managed rental pool or use their residence privately.
The building has been reimagined around the experience of a boutique hotel, with a dedicated lobby, ground-floor restaurant, rooftop pool and sauna, terrace and fitness studio forming a considered collection of spaces for owners and guests.
Part of the city buzz
Loop Street occupies a distinctive position within Cape Town’s city centre – close enough to the energy of Bree Street, Long Street and Kloof Street, while offering its own quieter rhythm of galleries, restaurants, design stores, coffee shops and hospitality destinations.
The street itself is becoming an increasingly important part of the city’s pedestrian network, with the City of Cape Town’s CBD Mobility and Access Plan identifying Loop, Long and Bree Streets as key activity streets within a more connected, walkable central-city environment, supported by the Central City Improvement District (CCID) and continued public and private investment in the surrounding precinct.
This connected setting places The Delaporte within easy reach of some of Cape Town’s most established lifestyle destinations.
A heritage building reimagined for hotel living
The Delaporte retains the character of its original heritage architecture while introducing a contemporary architectural addition and a refined interior language shaped by the details and materiality of exceptional hotels.
Within the residences, generous proportions, integrated joinery and a considered palette of honed Rustenburg stone, warm oak, brushed chrome, satin nickel, fluted glass and textured finishes create spaces designed to feel both contemporary and enduring.
Beyond the residences, the hotel experience continues through a dedicated arrival lobby, ground-floor restaurant and rooftop spaces overlooking the city, with a pool, sauna and terrace complemented by a dedicated fitness studio.
The intention is to create a boutique hotel with a distinct sense of personality and service, where every element has been considered to make the experience feel thoughtful, comfortable and complete.
A hotel designed for ownership
An ownership model unites the experience of the hotel and the opportunity of property investment. Owners who choose to participate in The Delaporte Rental Pool will receive a guaranteed 9% net rental yield for the first year, subject to the terms of the Rental Pool agreement. Thereafter, rental income will be distributed in accordance with the Rental Pool structure and the ongoing performance of the hotel.
The Rental Pool is designed to make hotel ownership as considered as the experience itself, with reservations, guest services, housekeeping, maintenance and revenue management managed as part of the hotel’s operation. Owners can therefore participate in the hospitality offering without taking on the demands of managing an individual short-term rental.
There is also room for ownership to be personal. Residences can be used privately or placed on a long-term rental, while owners participating in the Rental Pool may make use of their residence for up to 28 nights per calendar year, subject to the applicable agreement.
Added tax advantages
The investment proposition is further supported by potential tax benefits for qualifying purchasers. As a property within Cape Town’s Urban Development Zone (UDZ), qualifying investors may be able to claim an income tax allowance on a portion of the residence’s qualifying cost over an 11-year period.
Alternatively, qualifying portfolio investors may be eligible for the Section 13sex allowance, providing a potential annual deduction of 5% of qualifying costs where the relevant requirements are met.
Residences are sold Vat-inclusive with no transfer duty payable, while qualifying Vat-registered purchasers may also be able to claim input Vat where the residence is operated as part of the hotel, subject to the applicable requirements.
