The central-city project is progressing through development preparation.
The unit figure is a maximum programme estimate, not a completed-home count.
What happens next
The project milestone comes from an official provincial record. Programme announcements, design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover are separate stages, and the status reported here reflects the position stated by the issuing authority.
Built Report will update this Western Cape record when the responsible authority publishes a later award, progress certificate or completion notice. Contract values and dates are not inferred where the source does not provide them.
What we will track next
The next record for Founders’ Garden plans up to 1,178 social homes should show how approvals, design, inspection and workmanship connect. Drawings and certificates matter, but photographs of concealed work, written instructions, test results and a dated defects list make the project easier to verify.
Owners should keep the signed contract, payment proof, professional appointments, enrolment records where applicable and the final approved plans together. This file becomes most valuable when a leak, crack or service problem appears after occupation.
