The Paradigm: Ultimate City Living in Cape Town

If you’re a visitor (and huge fan) of Cape Town, or a local who’d like a change of scenery, The Paradigm will shift your world. This new building, going up at 100 Buitengracht Street – one of the best addresses in the heart of the city – will offer residents an enviable lifestyle.

Whether it becomes your permanent residence, your home base for short stays, or a property investment to lease to visitors, The Paradigm combines hotel-style facilities with independent living – and the best of the city on your doorstep, including restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, nightlife and the V&A Waterfront just five minutes’ walk away.

Everything you need

Nine years in the making, it’s a stunning piece of modern architecture that’s sure to become one of the Mother City’s iconic landmarks. Designed by dhk Architects, based on the original concept by Fabian Architects, it’s a self-contained, multi-storey “urban village” combining sophisticated living spaces and stunning mountain, harbour and city views with curated retail offerings and leisure facilities.

There are 243 residences in total, plus a magnificent heated pool and deck on the seventh floor, with an adjoining restaurant and deli. There’s also a wellness spa, sauna and gym on site, and on the ground levels you’ll find a coffee shop, co-working space, convenience store, pharmacy and laundromat/dry cleaner.

To make life even easier, there’s a 24-hour concierge, room service, valet parking and porters on hand – plus a dedicated online shopping delivery point. The underground parking is equipped with EV charging bays, and residents have access to a fleet of electric vehicles to use for trips around town or weekends away. 

City living

It’s the residences that seal the deal, with a choice of “short-term friendly” studios and one-bedroom apartments, spacious two- to four-bedroom apartments (including two-bedroom duplex options), topped off with two lavish double-level, four-bedroom penthouse apartments with their own terraces and pools.

The air-conditioned apartments all feature floor-to-ceiling windows with energy-efficient double glazing, stylish wooden flooring and joinery, and top-notch kitchens fitted with Siemens appliances and granite or stone countertops. Each also has a spacious balcony, accessed through glass sliding doors, for indoor-outdoor living.

Buyers have a choice of colour schemes for their abode’s interior design – whether you prefer soft ivory and bone tones or darker slate and greys. There is also the option to buy a fully furnished, equipped and serviced apartment (and should you want to offer it for short-term holiday rentals, there is a dedicated agent to handle this).
