Around 70 people evicted from this ten-storey building in September 2017 after the City declared it unsafe. By 2024 it had been repositioned in the market as a transformed asset. One of the clearer Cape Town examples of a problem building that moved into redevelopment — similar to Johannesburg's Remington Court.

Data integrity and legal notice

Data is sourced from City of Johannesburg GFIS audit records, court papers obtained through public reporting, official municipal revitalisation plans, and documented fire incidents. Properties are described according to their official legal or municipal status — for example, “subject to eviction proceedings” or “classified as derelict under municipal audit” — rather than asserted as fact by Odyssey Tools independently.

This data is aggregated solely from official municipal filings, public court documentation, and published journalistic sources. It does not constitute independent valuation, legal advice, or structural assessment by Odyssey AI Labs. This tracker covers a documented sample — the City of Johannesburg alone reports 188 active hijacked building cases citywide.
