The City of Cape Town is calling on residents or organisations that are landowners, or have options on well-located parcels of land greater than 15 hectares, to engage with it regarding the Private Sector Engagement and Co-operation Project.
The purpose of the project is to develop land into human settlements comprising, among others, residential accommodation for the lower-to-middle end of the income spectrum. The developments may comprise lower-to-middle and upper-end residential units, depending on the size and location of the land, including appropriate commercial or social facilities.
The City would like to establish partnerships with the negotiate and structure short-term developments of affordable and sustainable housing projects.
The key role of the City will be to establish ways to accelerate the delivery of the various projects. It may, where included in the project, engage with partners regarding the provision of subsidy housing, funds for infrastructure and reticulation services, and top structures.
It would like to engage with landowners/developer-landowners regarding alienations of the land to the City, establishing partnerships and creating appropriate channels to allow private sector landowners to engage with the City regarding future development.
