Cape Town – Property developer, Blok, is going back to the city, unveiling its 21st development, ELEVENONB, expanding its passion for urban living into Cape Town’s West City.
Located on the corner of Buiten and Loop Street, the site has stood vacant for years, a gap in the urban fabric of the West City that now becomes an anchor for renewal.
The commercial and residential use development reimagines this blank canvas as a place for connection.
“Every Blok development is a reflection of its neighbourhood,” says Jacques van Embden, CEO of Blok.
“With ELEVENONB, we wanted to contribute meaningfully to the ongoing evolution of the city centre, not by building something that closes itself off, but by creating a building that opens itself to the streets, the people, and the energy of the city.”
ELEVENONB represents Blok’s first development in the West City, an area spanning approximately 286 000m² (about 7.4% of Cape Town’s Central Business District).
ELEVENONB is surrounded by some of the city’s most recognisable neighbourhoods: Bo-Kaap to the northwest, Tamboerskloof and Gardens to the south and southeast, and the City Bowl to the east.
Designed around the principles of a 15-minute city, ELEVENONB encourages residents to live, work, and play.
Within walking distance are Kloof, Bree, and Long streets, known for their restaurants, art galleries, and independent stores.
Not forgetting the ever-growing offerings on Loop Street.
The development restores and integrates a historic façade and the heritage-rich Orphan Lane, stitching old and new together through architecture that invites public engagement.
ELEVENONB comprises 150 apartments, with prices starting at R1 795 000:
- 26 Compact Studios
- 44 Studios
- 34 One-bedroom Apartments
- 31 Two-bedroom Apartments
- 1 Three-bedroom Apartment
- 4 Penthouses
Ground floor spaces are dedicated to shops, co-working, and community interaction, with amenities including a privately-operated gym, laundry facilities, 24/7 security, a concierge, and building manager (provided by Fluent), as well as back-up power for shared areas.
While ELEVENONB officially launches on 23 October, interested buyers will have the opportunity to view all apartments online and create a shortlist of their favourites on Thursday 6 November 2025, ahead of sales going live on Tuesday, 11 November 2025.
“This part of the city has been waiting for a new story to be written,” adds Troy Squires, Head of Marketing at Blok. “ELEVENONB represents our vision to make cities amazing places to live, and to think bigger than our buildings.
We consider the precinct, the neighbourhood, and the city. It’s about how we live, how we share spaces, and how we shape the future of urban living.”
ELEVENONB is open to opportunities. Open to the people. Open to you. Open to the city.
With ELEVENONB, Blok celebrates more than a decade of redefining urban living, one building, one neighbourhood, and one city at a time.
