In a market where buyers are becoming more selective and demand is increasingly shaped by lifestyle quality, Rawson’s latest development,The Botanist,stands out as a peaceful oasis of culture, community and connection. That appeal has translated into exceptional early demand. Due to overwhelming interest, 70% of The Botanist has been sold prior to its official launch.
Floors 7–10 have been secured by a group of like-minded investors aligned with Rawson Developers’ long-term vision, while floors 4–6 have been retained within the Rawson Developers portfolio, underscoring confidence in the project’s durability and future performance. Apartments on floors 1–3 remain available for purchase from 25 February. Located in Gardens – one of the City Bowl’s most stable and tightly held neighbourhoods – The Botanist reflects a growing truth in property: homes designed around wellness, ritual, and calm tend to hold their value better over time.
This is not accidental. As Cape Town’s urban market evolves, the strongest-performing properties are those that meet both emotional and practical needs. Post-pandemic buying behaviour has reshaped the investment landscape.

Tenants and owner-occupiers alike are prioritising light, greenery, walkability, and security, not just square metres. Properties that feel restorative, flexible, and well-located consistently attract higher demand and lower churn. The Botanist is designed around these principles.
With 119 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses, each home is shaped to support modern living. Floor-to-ceiling glass and indoor-outdoor flow are hallmarks of this development. For investors, this translates into a key advantage: homes peoplewantto stay in.
