5th Floor (ex Direvco), Apex - Office Space To Let in Century City

The Apex – Premium Green Office Space in Century City, Cape Town

The Apex is a landmark, green-rated commercial building located in the heart of Century City, Cape Town. Offering over 8,800 m² of A-grade office space to rent, it delivers a rare blend of prestige, sustainability, and prime location. With its iconic glass architecture and modern, energy-efficient design, The Apex stands as the signature tower of the Century City Square precinct — one of Cape Town’s most connected and lifestyle-rich business hubs.

Completed in early 2016 by the Rabie Property Group, The Apex forms part of a visionary R1 billion urban development that includes the Century City Conference Centre, hotels, restaurants, serviced apartments, and a landscaped public square. The building spans eight storeys, with floor plates of approximately 1,200 m² and flexible suites starting from 280 m². Ground-floor retail and dining spill out onto a timber deck overlooking the canal, creating an active and welcoming environment for tenants and visitors alike.

Inside, businesses benefit from central air-conditioning, high-performance glazing, multiple elevators, wheelchair access, backup power, and fiber-optic connectivity via Century City Connect. The building is also equipped with 24-hour security, controlled access, and CCTV monitoring — all within a secure, managed precinct. As part of the Century City Square development, tenants enjoy seamless parking, with over 1,300 shared bays in the basement and adjacent garage, along with direct lift access to their offices.

Architecturally, The Apex makes a bold statement. Its curved-glass façade and aluminum sun louvres reflect the surrounding skyline while optimising natural light and internal comfort. The building earned a 4-Star Green Star SA rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa, thanks to features like passive shading, LED lighting, low-VOC materials, and water-efficient plumbing systems — all contributing to lower operational costs and a strong corporate sustainability image.

The Apex has been home to some of the most respected blue-chip tenants in South Africa, including Thomson Reuters, Mastercard, Derivco, Entersekt, and Norfund, making it a magnet for tech, financial, and corporate firms seeking a high-profile address.

Retail tenants like Tiger’s Milk, Punjab Wok, and Café Frank on the ground floor add to the vibrancy, while the broader Century City precinct offers world-class amenities: from Canal Walk Shopping Centre and Intaka Island Eco Reserve, to fitness studios, banks, and over 3,000 residential units—all within walking distance.

Getting to The Apex is easy, with quick access to the N1 highway, MyCiTi Bus routes, Metrorail station, and multiple minibus taxi links. Whether by car, public transport, or on foot, the precinct is designed for accessibility, safety, and ease of movement.

If your business is looking for premium office space to rent in Century City, The Apex is more than just a commercial address—it’s a symbol of modern work, sustainability, and success.
