Dear Jean

Effortless, daily access to the best of Sea Point’s – the Promenade, the pools, the cafés and restaurants – and close proximity to central Cape Town is priceless, but a new development in a prime location allows you to buy into it. Dear Jean will emerge from a makeover of the old Regent building (33 Regent Road), making a statement with its views, retro look and enviable lifestyle features.

Developed by Quorum Holdings, the company behind The Valour in De Waterkant, Charlie & the Chairman in Cape Town central and Lady Backs, just down the road in Sea Point, the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

Life in style

Dear Jean Views

Above a street-level and first-floor space dedicated to retail and dining, seven storeys of residential space epitomise the essence of Sea Point: a fusion of retro and modern; bold yet also subtly, nostalgically glam; buzzy and community-led.

Dear Jean Balcony

There are 82 units available, and a wide variety of choice – ranging from cosy-chic studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments to three grand duplex penthouses. Each is individually designed so no two are exactly the same.

Dear Jean Terrace

All have floor-to-ceiling windows; most lead out onto a balcony or terrace, facilitating invigorating mornings, lazy afternoons and magical evenings breathing in the ocean air in one of Cape Town’s favourite suburbs – and views of the Atlantic Ocean, Signal Hill or Lion’s Head. Eight apartments have the luxury of their own private swimming pools, with two of the penthouses also fitted out with jacuzzis.

All of Sea Point’s attractions are on the doorstep and the city centre, its most famous beaches and the Waterfront are 10 minutes away.

Setting the mood

Dear Jean Kitchen

Giving the architecture and views some competition, the light-filled, open-plan interiors are beautifully curated, and fitted with quality materials and textural accents. Two colour schemes – “Jean” or “John” – evoke different moods. Feminine, inviting and refined (with rust tones, honeyed oak and brushed gold details) or masculine, bold and timeless (with olive tones, rich walnut, brass and dark marble).

Dear Jean Bathroom

Owners have the option of purchasing furniture packs by Bone Studio or The Beautiful Room by Newman (both will also happily custom-design for you). This will fit out your apartment with all the necessary furnishings, from beds and seating to throws, cushions, artworks and kitchenware.

All apartments come with air-conditioning and double glazing. The building is pet-friendly, has a laundry, state-of-the-art security and access control, a concierge desk and basement parking with 44 bays (a quarter are pre-allocated and included in the property price; other units will have first option to buy).
