Cape Town is set to welcome its newest addition to the CBD skyline, the Spindle. This striking 16-storey skyscraper is expected to be completed in 2025, offering luxurious apartments exclusively for sale to 13 lucky sectional unit owners. Architectural plans for the Spindle reveal a sleek and modern design that pays homage to the district’s historical silk spinning businesses of the 19th century.
Located at the Plein Street/Spin Street corner of Church Square, the Spindle will replace the current two-storey building that currently houses Optic Edge Optometrists. The small piece of land on which the Spindle will be constructed is testament to the city’s commitment to maximizing its space and potential for growth.
Principal architect Robert Silke describes the Spindle as Cape Town’s mid-rise answer to Manhattan’s Billionaire’s Row. The project aims to bring a touch of opulence to the city’s central business district, attracting discerning property investors with a taste for luxury living.
While the Spindle will be located in a highly regulated heritage conservation area, the architects assure that they are contextually aware. Their approach to heritage conservation is not about imitating neighboring old buildings, but rather about creating a design that relates harmoniously to its surroundings.
The grand entrance of the Spindle will feature a uniformed doorman offering valet parking for residents, setting the tone for the exclusivity and impeccable service that will be a hallmark of this prestigious property. The ground floor will also house a high-volume reception foyer lined in solid granite, a box room for deliveries, and a 24-hour manned security reception.
The first to fifth floors of the Spindle will comprise full-floor office chambers for professionals, providing an ideal space for businesses to thrive. From the sixth to eleventh floors, there will be full-floor mansion apartments, offering spacious and luxurious living spaces. The twelfth to fifteenth floors will be dedicated to penthouse duplexes, providing an even more lavish lifestyle option.
One unique feature of the Spindle is its private and secure garage, located just across Church Square. This means residents will have convenient access to their vehicles without sacrificing the aesthetic appeal of the building. Each unit will occupy its own full floor, with a key-card lift access and a private lift lobby, ensuring the utmost privacy and convenience for residents.
Andrew Golding, CEO of Pam Golding Property group, emphasizes the benefits of living in Cape Town’s central city. The Spindle offers not only technological connectivity but also easy access to a great lifestyle, encompassing health, work, leisure, and entertainment.
With its stunning design, exclusive apartments, and prime location, the Spindle is poised to become one of Cape Town’s most sought-after addresses. As construction is set to begin later this year, interested investors should prepare to secure their slice of luxury living in the CBD.
