A 4 billion rand ($280 million) mixed-use development that will include the new home of Amazon’s Africa operations in the South African city of Cape Town has been given the go-ahead by local authorities, according to a Business Tech report.

US retail giant, Amazon, will be the development’s anchor tenant, with its planned African headquarters taking 70,000-square-metres of the total 150,000-square-metre space, which will also include housing, a hotel, restaurants and a school.

While the development has been approved in concept, conditions have been attached requiring further stages of approval in future, officials said. Construction is set to take place over the next three to five years.
