Cape Town's International Convention Centre secured funding in March 2011 to expand eastwards by over 10,000 m2 to create a "convention precinct linking it to the Artscape Theatre.
Good news for CT's CBD and for the construction industry in that city. It will be very interesting to see what the architects Van der Merwe Miszewski design particularly in terms of environmentally friendly design. Also under discussion in possible expansion north into the"Customs House" which could prove contentious among those who love the somewhat derelict behemoth. We loved VDMMA's previous design proposals (see website here) which included a much needed move to open up the Foreshore coastline.
