Imagine living where everything you need is a short walk or bicycle ride from your doorstep. From your favourite coffee shop to your local grocery store, everything is simply a stone’s throw away.

“The balanced lifestyle we have and promote at Century City is truly all that,” says Mariska Auret, director at Rabie Property Group, the main developer of the precinct for the past 20 years. “Here, you can say goodbye to long commutes and hello to more time spent doing what you love. You’ll be able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, like taking a leisurely stroll along our canals that are more than eight kilometres long or spending time in green open spaces such as Ratanga Park.”

EXPERIENCE A HEALTHY LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE PARK

A CUT ABOVE

Underpinned by Century City’s five smart city principles, many of which have been in practice for the past two decades, you can be assured that your neighbourhood is diligently looked after by a management team that prioritises innovation and progress. From smart safety and security to smart urban precinct management. Smart environmental sustainability is also key to ensuring a lessened environmental impact and natural legacy.

“Not only is living here more convenient, but it’s also better for the environment. With less reliance on cars and more emphasis on walking and biking, you’ll be doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future for everyone,” says Auret. “By living in Century City, this healthier lifestyle is attainable as our urban design principles encourage physical activity.”

A PARK FOR THE COMMUNITY

Rabie’s latest contribution to Century City is Ratanga Park, a green open space that is available to the public free of charge offering everyone the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful and balanced lifestyle.

Ratanga Park was created by excavating 75,000m³ earth, with a water body that holds about 1.64ha of water. Water features, winding walking paths, various points of interest and a children’s play area have been created among lush landscaping.

The large water body is home to several species of water birds and is connected to the canals that flow through the precinct, making it easy to canoe, kayak or SUP from the one end of the precinct to the other.

Auret explains the plan for the Ratanga Park section along the popular Bridgeways precinct: “The vision for establishing this beautiful park is to create the opportunity for people to wake up here every morning and immerse themselves in the lifestyle. Our mixed-use Bridgewater development was the first in a ring of buildings on the perimeter ‘hugging’ Ratanga Park, as it were. All the developments in some way will be looking across Ratanga Park. Our Nine Palms development that launched a year ago is currently under construction and has sold out.”

NATURE AND VIEWS

Rabie’s new development, On Park, is the second apartment block situated between Century Boulevard and Ratanga Park. “We are delighted to present this unique residential address to the market,” says Auret.

On Park will consist of 121 apartments, which include several studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.

The penthouses on the top floor offer panoramic views across the park, Cape Town’s CBD and Table Mountain. “On Park is an iconic circular pavilion with a sculptural, organic and soft shape that blends beautifully into its natural environment,” says Auret. “The circular form of the building provides an edge to Ratanga Park, while at the same time protecting view lines from Century Boulevard to the park, inviting the public into the park space. Its unique shape also provides equal wide angled views to the apartments.”

The apartments offer beautiful views across the park all the way across the Century City lights, Tygerberg, Table Mountain and the Overberg mountains in the distance. The inwardly facing apartments offer tranquil views across the uniquely designed green circular courtyard.

SUSTAINABILITY AT HEART

On Park will feature sustainable design aimed at EDGE certification, which includes green energy initiatives, sustainable water solutions such as recycled effluent for irrigation, reduced utility costs and water-wise landscaping.

Building features include full backup power to all the common areas and apartments, which means that loadshedding will not affect residents.
Every apartment also has fibre to- the-home pre-installed and the building has access control and CCTV in addition to Century City’s smart safety and security measures.

“If you’re looking for a lifestyle that’s both convenient and sustainable, living in Century City’s 15-minute city might just be the perfect fit for you,” says Auret. “Here we aim to enhance social connections by creating a vibrant and diverse precinct that facilitates social interactions, community engagement and a sense of belonging.

“Furthermore, designs such as that of On Park, where the building connects with the surrounding park and flows out into a landscaped courtyard, also inspire a sense of belonging.” Living here, on the edge of Ratanga Park, is idyllic. From shopping to dining and entertainment, everything is within walking distance from On Park. 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.
