The City funded place-making initiative, better. bellville. together. was recently launched with  the goal of bringing bringing local businesses and residents together to revitalise the Beville CBD. This includes well-researched, planned and executed improvement place-making initiatives to better the Bellville CBD, in partnership with the City, GTP, and private entities, all aimed at fostering economic growth.

Bellville is a vibrant, busy urban centre where people live, work and play every day. It’s a proven commercial engine servicing businesses from multinational corporates to small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Located at the centre of the Cape Town metropole, Bellville is an economic node connected by two national highways, the N1 and N2, and is close to multi-award winning international airport, multiple rail, bus and minibus taxi routes. It also enjoys geographical proximity to the Cape Town port, linked to the rest of the continent by the N1, which cuts through Bellville.

The city of Bellville’s primary assets are multidirectional, multimodal transport links, prioritised development, fast fibre internet infrastructure, and existing, as well as available and affordable buildings with large floor-plates ideal for high-density employment.


Bellville’s resilience, coupled with its pivotal transport links and well-established infrastructure, ensures it remains a dynamic centre for commerce. It’s a centre of academic excellence and a medical hub, home to Cape Town’s busiest public transport interchange. It’s culturally and socially diverse, with residents living in free-standing homes, apartments, student residences and housing estates.

Bellville has also been the launching pad for some of South Africa’s leading musicians, artists and creative personalities.
