Mama Shelter Residences Cape Town: Vibrant New Branded Living Spaces in the Heart of the City

Located on Bree Street, named by Time Out as one of the coolest streets in the world for 2024, Mama Shelter Residences Cape Town features 62 fully serviced residences—including options for studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts—and a vibrant 127-key hotel, all housed within a single iconic building.

This initiative marks Mama Shelter’s first residential and hotel venture in South Africa.

Established in 2008 by the Trigano family, co-founders of Club Med, the Mama Shelter brand launched its journey with its inaugural hotel in Paris’s eclectic eastern district. It introduced a fresh perspective on hospitality for contemporary travelers, blending chic interiors with lively dining and bar areas, skilled staff, and a nurturing ambiance akin to a mother’s care, all at a wallet-friendly price.

Since that initial opening, the brand has grown into a vibrant market leader alongside Ennismore, the largest and fastest-expanding lifestyle hospitality company globally.

The residences are part of a significant mixed-use redevelopment at 111 Bree Street, led by Kasada, a pan-African real estate private equity firm focused on hospitality, in partnership with Ingenuity, a property development firm from the Western Cape.

Local sales operations are managed by Pam Golding Properties, while global sales are overseen by Savills.

Key Details:

• 62 residences available for purchase
• Location: 111 Bree Street, Cape Town
• Options include studio, one-, two-, and Grand Mama three-bedroom residences
• Price range from R3.025 million to R23.4 million
• Online sales launch on 27 August 2025 at 1 PM
• Estimated completion expected in Q3 2026
