Location, location, location

The location is just one of the many charms of The Valour. Situated on the corner of Chiappini Street and Waterkant Street, it neighbours the towering Capital Mirage. This culturally rich precinct attracts both locals and tourists, yet remains the friendly, welcoming village of yesteryear, where residents are greeted by the early morning sounds of harbour ships and the midday blast of the Noon Gun.

The Valour offers the benefits of vibrant city living without the immediate hustle and bustle. From here, city hotspots are just a stone’s throw away with a sense of peace and calm awaiting on your return home.

Investing

The Valour can be considered a solid addition to your investment portfolio or for your first-time property foray into the heart of Cape Town.

It is perfectly positioned to capture Cape Town’s high short- and long-term rental demand, underpinned by tourism and semigration to the Mother City.

The 13sex Tax Incentive enables any taxpayer who owns five or more new residential rental units to claim up to 55% of the purchase price as a tax deduction. More information can be found here.

The Valour development’s expected completion is set for the first quarter of 2025.

The site’s existing three-storey warehouse will be expertly adapted and reimagined into a nine-storey, upmarket residential development consisting of 52 apartments and two penthouses.

The penthouses will boast private wraparound terraces with pools, and vistas from the V&A Waterfront right through to Devil’s Peak and Table Mountain.

Apartments have been designed as comfortable living spaces for couples or singles. The interiors are created as classic, warm spaces with modern elements. A highlight of each apartment is the framed views through the large windows, providing generous amounts of natural light.

Contemporary finishes and fittings offer a luxurious feel to these open-plan layouts. The majority-white walls are complemented with accent colours, natural wood tones, marble-like tiles and dark cabinetry. The use of brass inserts on the floors and decorative mouldings on the walls depicts more classical style detailing while still keeping sleekness to the overall feel.

Developer Quorum Holdings specialises in developing new real estate and rejuvenating older property assets to create out-of-the-ordinary residential, office, retail, and industrial spaces across South Africa.

“In all our property upgrades, we must unearth the soul of a building,” it says.

“We honour the era of its design and architecture and excavate the space’s unique story. By carefully and respectfully preserving character, we know that every Quorum property is genuinely a one-off.”
