Established in 1988, the V&A Waterfront is one of Africa’s most visited destinations with 24 million visitors annually. It is situated in the oldest working harbour in the southern hemisphere, with the iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop and extensive views of the ocean, city bowl and mountain peaks. 

A mixed-use development, the V&A Waterfront covers 123 hectares, the V&A Waterfront blends commercial, residential, retail, cruise, leisure and entertainment within a contemporary working harbour with 22 historical landmarks.

The V&A Waterfront forms not only a part of South Africa’s historical and cultural legacy, but also an integral part of the country as a whole. As a social, economic and environmentally committed citizen the business is built around creating and fostering opportunities for the citizens of the country – whether that be the blue chip businesses or the small scale entrepreneurs that call the V&A Waterfront home. 

In 2017, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) opens. This is a significant cultural gift from the V&A to Africa, housing the largest collection of contemporary art from Africa and its Diaspora.

The V&A is further developing a world-class cruise terminal – in walking distance of Zeitz MOCAA – which it manages on behalf of the National Ports Authority.

The V&A is jointly owned by Growthpoint Properties Limited and the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF), represented by the Public Investment Corporation Limited (PIC).
