Iconic Sir Herbert Baker Penthouse in the Heart of Cape Town

Step into a remarkable piece of Cape Town’s architectural history with this rare gem in the Wellington Fruit Growers’ Building — an iconic heritage landmark originally designed in 1902 by Sir Herbert Baker & F. Masey for D. Isaacs & Company. Named after the famous fruit merchants that occupied the building for decades, the façade still proudly bears the inscription “Wellington Fruit Growers 1934 Ltd” — a tribute to its rich commercial legacy. Originally constructed as a five-storey building with a distinctive gabled roof, three additional floors were added in the 1930s, shaping the grand structure we admire today. With its sandstone façade, intricately carved pillars, and unmistakable old-world presence, this industrial-chic apartment blends timeless character with modern elegance.
