SPORTS fanatics can be assured that the R2 billion mixed development set to take place next to the Cape’s DHL Stadium will not impact operations and games and will operate normally.

This development will feature hotel, retail, and office spaces designed to create a lively, year-round destination that supports tourism, business, and local employment. It will boast a hotel with 190 rooms, 200 apartments, 3000m² of retail space, and premium-grade office space.

According to acclaimed property broker Ash Miller, the hotel will feature an international brand.

But while the buzz and noise are being made about the planning, zoning, and economic development, Kelly Thuynsma, Head: Marketing - Cape Town Stadium (RF) SOC LTD, told the Cape Argus it would be business as usual: “Stadium events will not be impacted by the development, as the stadium management team is in close communication with the developers to ensure business continues as usual for DHL Stadium”
