Voortrekker Road has the potential to significantly change the spatial form of Cape Town. It has all the right ingredients: a well-functioning public transport network, higher-order social facilities, and lots of existing building to utilize better.
Cape Town is in need of Investors, Developers and Contractors to get more involved in student accommodation within and surrounding areas of the Western Cape. Bellville is a perfectly centralized located in the Northern Suburbs where high demand for affordable accommodation is in demand.
Bellville Central is becoming a popular destination for investors to purchase or rent to sublet large office buildings and convert into student accommodation. Since a number of Universities and Colleges like UWC, Northlink & MSC College finds it effective to place themselves in Bellville as the properties for sale are more affordable along Voortrekker Rd Bellville and close to all major means of public transport. In comparison to other fully populated suburbs in Cape Town.
Office buildings that were in high demand in the ’80s are now being converted to student housing. Back then most business professionals made use of public transport hence the buildings did not require ample parking bays. Affordable student housing rooms to let generally attracts students that prefer living close to campus and thus make use of public transport and as their main two expenses are accommodation and tuition fees, parking is not a deal-breaker compared to modern time office requirements.
