A NEW conference
centre with 20 different
venues that is able to
accommodate 1 900
delegates is planned for
Century City.
Along with a 125-room
hotel, the Century City
Conference Centre will
form part of a R1bn mixeduse
development in the
Bridgeways precinct in
Cape Town. It is scheduled
for completion by the end
of 2015, with the first
conferences expected to be
hosted by early 2016.
Greg Deans, director of
the Rabie Property Group,
says the development
responds to the increasing
demand for conferencing
and hotels in the precinct.
The centre will feature
three adjoining halls with
capacity for more than 900
delegates cinema style
and a fourth hall capable
of hosting another 480
delegates cinema style.
The rooms will also be
available for banqueting
and exhibitions. A large
pre-assembly area will
cater for exhibitions and
product launches. It will
also feature 12 meeting
and breakaway rooms and
a business lounge. Firstfloor
meeting rooms will
accommodate at least 200
delegates in various seating
arrangements.
“High-speed wireless
services will be available in
every room and all services
can be customised to
suit every event’s specific
needs,” says Greg.
The mixed use
development will comprise
offices, showrooms,
residential apartments
and retail and a five-level
parking garage with direct
access to the CCCC. A
multi-functional square will
host restaurants and a
number of other hospitality
options.
