Leo Mews is part of a programme by the City of Cape Town to expedite the delivery of affordable housing to deserving households across the city. It was the first project completed in the area in terms of an agreement between the City and Standard Bank, and the bank's chosen development partner Bitol Development.
The project won the award for its interpretation of the City's brief, which required that aesthetically pleasing, affordable high density housing should be created for people in a manner that is socially and environmentally sustainable for all stakeholders.
The cost of the units range from R237 000 to R254 000, enabling people with combined monthly incomes as low as R7 200 to own a home.
