Cape Town’s five-year market trend
Economic growth is a fundamental driver of residential property value.
Cape Town as a destination drawcard for both local and international visitors is undeniable – and as the globe recalibrates to the trends of Covid-19, the latest Lightstone House Price Index shows growth for Cape Town and the Western Cape is fast returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Industry data shows that coastal areas are doing particularly well and “while uncertainty surrounds many areas of the property market, investors may be able to take refuge in this promising segment”.
In 2016, the Cape Town property market saw a House Price Inflation (HPI) high of 11%. At its lowest in 2018, the market saw HPI drop to just below 3%. Recovery saw the market almost double in growth to 4% in 2019, only to dip back to below 3% during the lockdown-hit year of 2020.
The latest quarterly data for 2021, however, has seen the market go from strength to strength to see a new 2021 high of 4.3% in June 2021, with many homeowners and investors encouraged by the historically low interest rate, even with the most recent hike.
What happens after the four years?
Investors can extend their lease agreement and put the unit back into the hotel pool managed by Newmark. Any additional admin fees would be calculated and included in the updated lease agreement. Current rates and levies are estimated at R615 and R875 respectively.
What about Parking?
While there is no basement parking at The Rockefeller, Ryan Joffe Properties are developing a parking lot located across the street from the development, with preference and availability given to Investors. Parking bay rental would be an estimated R1 000 per month for a long lease.
Exceptional location and amenities
The Rockefeller is packed full of amenities that service residents and hotel guests’ every need. The ground floor boasts a double volume lobby, 24-hour concierge and security as well as 3 premium restaurant offerings. At the Corner Deli, you’ll find artisan coffee, salads, wraps, pastries, and a range of other delicious snacks in eco-friendly ready-to-go packaging, while The Empire serves wholesome breakfasts, wood-fired pizzas, juicy burgers and mouth-watering Lindt white chocolate cheesecake.
