History of Century City

Development began in this suburb in 1997. 250 hectares were set aside for a mixed-use. Construction began in 1997, and the development quickly became known for its unique architectural style and design. One of its central features is the Canal Walk shopping centre, which opened in 2000 and is one of the largest shopping malls in Africa. The development also includes various office parks, residential complexes, hotels, and entertainment options.

The “city” is built around a series of canals and wetlands, providing a scenic and environmentally friendly setting. Part of the wetland, Intaka Island has been preserved as a bird sanctuary which is open to the public. The area has grown rapidly over the past few decades and has become a prominent business and residential hub in Cape Town, known for its modern infrastructure and convenient location.
