Cape Town's CBD is about to get a lot more livable. The Acre by Neighbourgood, our newest and biggest project yet, has officially launched inside the iconic Golden Acre building, right in the heart of the city.

If you've ever walked through Golden Acre, you know it. For generations, it’s been one of Cape Town's busiest meeting points. The place where families met up on weekends, kids went to the movies, and millions of Capetonians passed through on their way to somewhere else. Now, in partnership with Gracht Asset Managers, we're turning it into somewhere to actually call home.

More Than Just an Address

The Acre is a 27-floor, 23,000m² transformation of underused office space into 302 long-term apartments and 115 short-term units in the Cape Town CBD. Whether you're after a one-night stay or a long-term lease, there's a home here for you.

Short-stay guests can book anywhere from a single night up to three months. Long-term residents can settle in with a standard annual lease. Either way, you're getting the same thing: a home in the middle of everything, built for how people actually live.

Life at The Acre

This is living the GOOD way, designed around community, convenience, and comfort. Residents get:

✔️ Co-working spaces & access to other Neighbourgood Work Clubs in the city

✔️ A clubhouse with its own restaurant and bar

✔️ An on-site coffee shop for your first (and third) coffee of the day

✔️ Access to exclusive community events

✔️ Ground-floor retail right downstairs (groceries, wellness, banking, and food)

It's everything you need to live, work, and unwind without ever having to leave the building. Your daily errands will take minutes, not a whole afternoon.

Right Where You Need to Be

Location is where The Acre really earns its name. You're steps from Cape Town Station, the bus terminal, the taxi interchange and MyCiTi services, with upgrades underway to make those connections even smoother. Better lighting, improved security and refreshed public spaces are all part of the plan.

The vision here is bigger than one building. It's about bringing the CBD back to life as an 18-hour precinct, a part of the city that doesn't switch off when the shops close. A neighbourhood you live in, not just commute through.

Designed for City Living

The apartments themselves are cleverly designed to maximize both space and style, offering the ultimate accommodation for young professionals in the heart of the city. Flooded with natural light and featuring premium finishes, these spaces prove that Cape Town city living doesn't mean compromising on comfort.
