Project Description
Latimer’s Landing will pave the way for the waterfront development of the Port of East London. The asset was originally designed for marine operational use, but has over the years transitioned into a public recreational area essential for local tourism activities.

The project aims to advance the development of various business operations, including restaurants, leisure outlets and tourism centres, as well as related activities that will draw steady traffic into the precinct.

The development further supports TNPA’s strategic goals of optimising its real estate portfolio by attracting new ventures, such as tourism, while fostering private-sector participation and unlocking opportunities to stimulate economic growth.

Potential Job Creation
An estimated 44 jobs had been created as of October 2025 for the residents of the city. The project is expected to create about 55 employment opportunities in total. The appointed contractor for the project, Steffanuti Stocks, has committed to collaborating with local small-, medium-sized and microenterprises to unlock additional business opportunities.

Capital Expenditure
