Exclusive Mandate
Experience the best of heritage and modern living in this beautifully restored 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment set within Wolroy House — one of Cape Town’s most iconic warehouse conversions in the vibrant East City Precinct. Originally a cotton warehouse, this striking heritage building was transformed in 1996 into New York–style loft apartments by developer Charles Arton and architect Derick Henstra. Their visionary redevelopment helped spark the revitalization of the East City, now home to Cape Town’s first city improvement district and a thriving cultural & creative hub.
This spacious apartment combines industrial character with modern comfort — featuring exposed brick walls, steel beams, and warm timber floors, all framed by expansive windows that flood the space with natural light.
Property Highlights:
- 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (main en-suite)
- Bright and airy open-plan living area with double-volume ceilings
- 1 Secure basement parking bay with the option to rent an additional parking bay in the garage next door, with direct access to the building
- Airbnb-friendly and pet-friendly
- Excellent 24-hour security and access control
