Platz am Meer is a landmark destination in the town of Swakopmund, on the
coastline of Namibia. It was developed by Safari Developments in 2016 and consists
mainly of a 21,503m² GLA commercial phase of retail.
The development includes 36 privately owned residential units and is on seafront
property, linked to its own small craft sea-harbour. Being the gem town of Namibia,
Swakopmund is both a sought-after place of permanent residence and a popular
year-round destination thanks to its desert adventures, pristine beaches, and an
exclusive coastline.

The Platz am Meer development has proven not to only attract the community of
Swakopmund to its amenities but has also become a destination for those from
other towns along the Namibian coast. The development offers a variety of food
and fashion retailers, sea-view restaurants, banking outlets and office space in a
beautiful coastal environment.

overall maintenance decisions, for example exterior paint of the building. Other than
that, the phases operate independently. Units at The Pier that owners made available
for accommodation are rated “Superb” on Booking.com. More information on the
residential phase is available on www.thepier.co.na The Waterfront harbour The
Swakopmund Municipality required that a breakwater structure be constructed as part
of the Platz am Meer development to form an alternative small craft harbour for the
town.
The harbour construction is complete and is already in basic use. A process is currently
underway with the relevant Namibian state entities to register a seashore lease over
the reclaimed sea area and to manage this area more efficiently. Operation of the
harbour is managed independently from the commercial phase of Platz am Meer
