Cosy African Art Deco

Description

About this space

This is Manhattan in Cape Town. The Mutual Heights Building is an Art Deco building, once the tallest building in Africa. It was built in 1940 and is now a historical heritage site, often used in film-shoots as a stand in for Manhattan. Unit 212 is a rare two-bedroom, corner-apartment with six windows, five meters tall, for light and views in two directions. Many original features are still in place. Mutual Heights is a high security building with doormen in the lobby 24 hours a day. You need to use your fingerprint to get access to the building. When you step into the street you are in the middle of the business district with shopping, restaurants and many attractions at walking distance. Africa’s no 1 restaurant, Fyn, is next-doors, bustling Bree Street two blocks away, as is Company Gardens. THIS APARTMENT IS NOT AFFECTED BY LOADSHEDDING!
