Concor has commenced groundwork on The Signal, a new residential block within the Conradie Park mixed-use development next to Pinelands, Cape Town. This latest addition will comprise 263 studio units, expanding the estate’s residential offering.
According to Sebastian Dieperink, Junior Project Manager at Concor, the units are designed to appeal to both young homeowners and buy-to-let investors. The Signal will be strategically located above The Pines Shopping Centre and four other residential blocks within Conradie Park – Castle Rock, Arch Rock and Lion’s Head – further enhancing the integrated lifestyle the development offers.
The Signal will feature a ground floor retail level, a parking deck on the first floor and six residential floors above. In line with Concor’s innovative and sustainable construction approach, the building has been designed to be 20 to 25% lighter than a conventional structure this has allowed Concor to reduce the extent of piling required for the building, says Dieperink.
Piling began in May 2025 and involved the installation of 105 concrete piles, ranging in diameter from 350 mm to 600 mm. These were constructed using a 35 MPa compressive strength concrete mix and were driven to depths of between 8 and 10 metres.
Work on The Signal will also contribute to the precinct’s broader goals of training and skills development across various trades and disciplines, with a strong emphasis on empowering and upskilling local youth.
Construction of The Signal is set to begin in the fourth quarter of the year and will feature a reinforced concrete frame with post-tensioned concrete floors. The building is expected to be ready for occupation – either by owners or rental customers -by October 2026.
