Set within a mixed-use property in leafy Newlands, this co-living work space packs a genuinely wide amenity list into one site: an on-site restaurant and café, a pilates and yoga studio, a beauty spa, a swimming pool, and conference facilities alongside the expected communal kitchen, lounge, and coworking space. It’s less a single building type and more a small ecosystem, which makes the cost planning behind it a bit of a balancing act in itself.
Working with SKA Property Consulting and One Design, we managed the budget across a complex mix of uses which included wellness, hospitality, corporate, and residential. This ensured that the conference facilities could hold their own for seminars and strategic meetings just as easily as the communal kitchen handles a Sunday brunch crowd. Pulling that many amenities into one coherent, well-run property without blowing the budget is exactly the kind of complexity Professional Quantity Surveyors exist for.
