ElevenOnB: Apartment Living in the Heart of the City

The pulse of the city beats strongly in the food, culture and nightlife arteries of Bree Street, Long Street and Kloof Street. Cape Town’s buzziest streets are at the heart of the First Thursdays vibe, when galleries, boutiques, bars and restaurants open late to connect a walkable urban trail of happening places. Perfectly located to make that enviable lifestyle part of everyday living, Blok’s newest development ElevenOnB, on the corner of Buiten and Loop Streets, reimagines apartment living and connection.

Open to the city

Blok takes pride in connecting their developments to the neighbourhood they’re in. They’ve coined the name West City for this covetable section of Cape Town’s innercity bordering on Bo-Kaap, Tamboeskloof and Gardens, where it’s rare to find open space for new developments. With connection at the core of the design by 255 Architects, ElevenOnB invites the neighbourhood in, with a ground-floor café and shopping arcade, co-working and office spaces, and an open piazza for sociable gatherings.

There’s a nod to history too. This was the address of the original Madame Zingara’s until 2005, and the frontage of that heritage building has been incorporated into the design. They’re turning historical Orphan Lane into a place you want to walk down, with an appealing arcade lining it, and a graceful assembly of arches on the various facades that lifts the eye and spirit, adding soaring curves to the cityscape and blending contemporary design with the harmony of classical lines.

Iconic Cape Town views

The collection of 151 apartments stretches up over 16 floors, perched above the various levels of public spaces below, and enjoying panoramic views of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, ocean horizons and city lights. With 23 compact studios, 50 studios, 17 compact one-bedroom apartments (10 compact and 34 regular), 32 two-bedroom apartments, two 3-bedroom apartment and three penthouses, ElevenOnB offers plenty of scope both for investors looking to let and for locals looking for a permanent perch in the city.

Thoughtful design

Each of the apartments, regardless of size, is designed for convenient living. High-spec space-saving joinery and quality kitchen units are fitted for best use of space, with tall windows letting in maximum light and air-conditioning as standard in all apartments.

Within the building are laundry facilities, a privately run gym, 24-hour security and back-up power for all shared spaces. You can purchase a parking bay as an optional extra with selected one-bedroom apartments, and with all the two-bedroom, three-bedroom and penthouse apartments. And with the Company’s Garden just a short ‘walkies’ away, it’s good to see that the apartments are pet-friendly.
