If you’re travelling along the N1 freeway to and fro through Cape Town at night, you’ll come across a statuesque shopping centre with a canal flowing through it enveloped in flickering orbs and palm trees. The place I’m referring to is Century City, the epitome of elegance, luxury and architectural grandeur. This architectural paradise is approximately 250 hectares of expanse, promising its visitors their very first steps into the modern, first-class.
Century City is more than just a shopping centre; it’s a way of life. It contains an array of office blocks, contemporary apartment complexes, the famous Ratanga Junction to distract the kids with, a Virgin Active gym as well as the newly constructed 5-star Protea hotel. From the outdoor patio, you have a breathtaking view of Table Mountain in central Cape Town in the distance. What also makes Century City so ideal is its close equidistance to both the southern and northern suburbs of Cape Town.
What can you do while at Century City? What a question! You can explore Intaka Island, which is a nature conservation best navigated by gondola along Canal Walk’s 8km canal. There are a host of gourmet restaurants with delicious cuisine just waiting to be sampled. Century City contains more than 400 stores which offer the very best in designer labels, electronics, lifestyle and so much more. So whether you’re spending time with the family, getting an early start on your Christmas shopping or just kicking back with a movie in one of Nu-Metro’s spacious cinemas, Century City’s your space, your place.
