Message from KCT

Developing commercial, residential, and community infrastructure to uplift the lives of residents.

KCT was founded by the City of Cape Town in 2003. These developments help generate economic opportunities and uplift the lives of residents. The Trust, previously a municipal entity, now trades as a non-profit organisation with public benefit status.

A Land Availability Agreement (LAA) entered into between the City of Cape Town and KCT allows KCT to assist with the KBD development and hold equity in associated developments, the returns of which are used in other community projects.
