SOLD OUT IN 45 MINUTES 

AFFORD AN APARTMENT IN SEA POINT

This time in an even more desirable suburb on the Atlantic Seaboard. The Sage in Sea Point has views of the ocean and Signal Hill, adjoins Piazza St John (and Woolworths), and is just a 3-minute walk from the promenade. Best of all, buy one of the 91 units on launch day and you’ll get a R200 000 discount. (Register now to browse, make a shortlist of your favourite apartments and activate your discount).

BUY IN A DREAM LOCATION AND SUBURB

There’s a reason why everyone wants to live on the Atlantic Seaboard. The young, upwardly mobile, Uber-everywhere generation love that the nightlife and entertainment is within reach. International investors and visitors who’re used to walkable cities find it fits the bill, and for young families there’s quick access to some of the prettiest, protected beaches in the city. 

Plus the area is safe and well-maintained. The Sage Sea Point block itself has 24-hour concierge and security, but its location, on Main and Arthurs roads (above the existing ABSA Bank), gives it a sense of spaciousness and great access to bigger views to either Lions Head, the ocean or a cityscape.

All of that makes The Sage a good and safe investment for locals, first-time buyers, out-of-towners and internationals. And this is exactly why Sea Point’s seen tremendous positive growth the last few years.

WATCH: LIVING THE DREAM LIFESTYLE

IT’S A TRUSTED DEVELOPER PARTNERSHIP 

The Sage is purpose-built and designed by premium players in the Cape Town property game. It’s a development by Rawson Developers and Berman Brothers Group, the former of which were responsible for The Carrington (which sold out in 7 minutes at launch) and the latter, a leader in Atlantic Seaboard development.

The architects are the reputable firm MLB Architects, who’re experienced urban designers and responsible for developments such as Atlantic Views, also in Sea Point. With this strong partnership, as well as the unique launch format, Rawson Developers expects The Sage to be well received by the market.

PICK THE UNIT THAT SUITS YOUR LIFESTYLE 

The Sage has 91 units in four categories: Micro-units, studio apartments, single- and two-bedroom apartments. First-time buyers wanting a foot in the market will snap up the micro-units, which are a steal at R1.29 million (after the R200 000 discount) and look spacious thanks to design that leads into the view. Also, all you need is a 10% deposit and the balance can be financed, and Rawson Finance can help when you apply.

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

What makes them accessible is the competitive pricing – especially considering the area. Starting at R1.49 million, you can get a foot into the Atlantic Seaboard property market – especially with the R200 000 discount if you buy at launch. And that benefit applies for each unit you buy, which should be music to the ears of property investors.

LIVE AND WORK FROM A KITTED-OUT PAD

Of course we all want to be able to do it. The Sage will be a good home base from which to live and work. There is solar-power backup in case of electricity cuts and fast WiFi is available throughout the building. There’s also a co-working business lounge within the building available to residents that’s also connected to the back-up power, should load-shedding occur.

RENT IT OUT; THERE ARE RENTAL GUARANTEES

The Sage makes sense for investment buyers. Some of the units come with 12-month rental guarantees. This means it is rented out by the developers, but the owner will get a fixed fee. Sea Point is a high-rental demand area, which means shorter-term rentals also will be possible through a preferred service provider, who’ll be able to manage people coming into the building. So buy it as a home base for when you visit from out of town, and when you’re not there, you can rent it out.

IT’S GOOD LIVING ALL ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Sea Point is popular for its good lifestyle, and The Sage takes full advantage of that. It’s a mere 3-minute walk away from the promenade along the seafront, one of Cape Town’s most popular and sociable areas where you can run, train, ride bikes and walk the dog (by the way, small pets are allowed at The Sage). Only 20 metres away you’ll find all the shopping amenities you need: Woolworths, Wellness Warehouse, Checkers, Coco Safar, Vida and cute retail outlets.

YOU CAN PRESS THE UPGRADE BUTTON  

The finishes on this luxury development are excellent, and you can upgrade and request high-end finishes and air-conditioning. You can also add furniture packages designed by an interior designer, where the dressings will be designed to perfectly fit the space. MORE DETAILS: Ask them.

GET PARKING WITH YOUR 2-BED 

All two-bedroom apartments automatically come with a parking bay, which is located on the 1st floor. There are an additional 25 bays for sale, so there’s more demand than supply, which means if you want one you’ll have to move fast – (micro units don’t qualify for parking bays). Bays cost an extra R250 000 and are available to add to your purchase when reserving your unit online.

There’s also an electric-car power station. Image: The Sage
