Cape Town’s student accommodation landscape is evolving, and at the forefront of this transformation is The Fibonacci — a new development in Mowbray designed to meet the needs of both investors and students alike. Perfectly positioned at 23 Main Road, Mowbray, just 1.5km from UCT, The Fibonacci offers a contemporary living experience, seamlessly blending convenience, security, and community-driven design.
Investment Potential: High Demand, Prime Opportunity
Mowbray is one of Cape Town’s most in-demand rental markets, particularly for student accommodation. With university enrolments rising and a limited supply of university-owned residences, private student housing is more essential than ever. Vacancy levels in Cape Town’s residential rental market have reached record lows, highlighting the strong demand for secure, well-located accommodation.
For property investors, this represents a lucrative opportunity. The Fibonacci is designed to capitalise on this high-demand sector, offering a premium product that attracts both students and their parents seeking safe, well-managed residences. With consistent rental demand, strong occupancy rates, and competitive rental yields, The Fibonacci presents a compelling case for long-term capital appreciation.
There are three unit types available:
- Studios: 20m² – 25m², priced from R1,240,000
- One-bedroom apartments: 36m², starting at R2,165,000
- Two-bedroom apartments: 31m² – 37m², starting at R1,850,000
With no transfer duties applicable and only a 10% deposit required, investors have an accessible entry point into a high-demand rental market. The estimated completion date of Q1, 2027, offers a clear investment timeline, allowing buyers to plan accordingly.
A Prime Location for Students
Location is everything when it comes to student accommodation, and The Fibonacci delivers on all fronts. With UCT within walking distance and the Mowbray Jammie Shuttle stop just down the road, students have easy, reliable access to campus. The shuttle connects various parts of Cape Town to UCT’s campuses, ensuring a hassle-free daily commute. Additionally, the nearby Mowbray train station provides direct access to the city centre and surrounding suburbs, making The Fibonacci an attractive home base for students looking to explore Cape Town’s vibrant lifestyle.
Designed for the Modern Student Experience
The Fibonacci has been thoughtfully designed to support student life in every way. From sleek, space-efficient studio apartments to well-proportioned one- and two-bedroom units, every apartment balances comfort and functionality, creating a home that meets the needs of modern students.
Beyond the apartments, residents have access to world-class communal spaces designed to enhance student life.
