Beyond Cape Town

Quay 1 Global Network

A Cape Town home is bought as often from London, Frankfurt or Dubai as from Constantia. Through the Quay 1 Global Network, listings are placed in front of qualified international buyers and referred through partner brokerages abroad.

The team sells and lets residential and commercial property across the Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, South Peninsula, Western Seaboard, Northern Suburbs and Somerset West.

Where does the name Quay 1 come from?

Quay 1 is the premium docking bay in any marina. The name sets the standard the brokerage holds itself to, and the nautical language runs through how the team talks about navigating a property journey.
