Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront plans a R20-billion expansion of the adjacent Granger Bay precinct and has sought permission from authorities in South Africa’s second-biggest city for the development. V&A — one of the continent’s most visited tourism and retail destinations — has asked the local council to approve an increase in its permissible development rights to 440 000 m2, two-thirds of which will be for Granger Bay, spokesperson Donald Kau said.
