Porsche moves to Century City

 Porsche Centre Cape Town has relocated its Western Cape operations to new premises at Century City. Toby Venter, CEO of Porsche Centre South Africa, said they had relocated their entire Western Cape operations from High Street in Tyger Valley, taking up the entire first phase of Gorrie & Findlay’s new 6232 square metre development at Century Gate Business Park on the northern boundary of Century City fronting onto Bosmansdam Road. The new Porsche premises, which house a substantial new and pre-owned showroom, workshop and parts department, comprise a total of 2944 square metres as well as generous on-site parking. Venter said Porsche Centre South Africa, the official importers of Porsche Cars in the Southern African region, had enjoyed significant growth over the past ten years and was poised for further success with the arrival of the new 911 derivatives such as the 911 Turbo, the 911 Gt3 and GT3RS, the new 911 Targa, the Cayman and Cayman S which had been very well received by the existing customer base as well as new Porsche owners. Dealer Principal for Porsche Centre Cape Town, John Corfe, is bullish about the new facility which is more centrally and conveniently situated and expects to see significant growth over the next three years. Other newcomers to the 40 000 square metre Century Gate Business Park include the new head office for the Spur Group, the 11 000 square metre Millennium Park office complex, AXIZ and the soon-to-be constructed Quadrant office park. Giles Balmer, sales manager for Rabie, the developers of Century City, said negotiations were also currently underway with other exclusive car brands keen to relocate to Century City. “With billions of rands in new commercial and residential development coming on stream, Century City has definitely reached critical mass and is succeeding in attracting an increasing number of top brands who see the area as the region’s premier commercial hub of the future and where they need to be.” Porsche joins Mercedes Benz, Smart and Chrysler Jeep at Century City which opened two flagship lifestyle centres including showrooms earlier this year.
