Lüderitz waterfront

Parts of the Lüderitz Waterfront (phase 1)

The Lüderitz Waterfront is a waterfront and the largest urban development project in the Namibian coastal city of Lüderitz . The waterfront is operated by the state-owned Lüderitz Waterfront Development Company .

Phase I.

The first section of the waterfront was opened in 2002 after a two-year construction period. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town ( South Africa ) is considered a model for the waterfront . Above all, the waterfront was supposed to serve the economic upswing of the city, which lies in the middle of the Namib .

Expansion since 2013 (phase II)

The former power station from the colonial era has been completely renovated and expanded as part of the waterfront since 2013 for 230 to 280 million Namibian dollars . The first planning for this began in 2008. The opening was originally planned for 2016, but (as of May 2017) is now specified as 2019.

A branch of the Namibia University of Science and Technology is to be located here and around 1,500 places in the three fields of tourism , marine biology and sports science are to be offered. The building complex will also house a sports center and the largest oceanography museum in Africa. Apartments and a hotel are also planned.

The Phase II area is approximately 650 meters south of the existing waterfront.
