In 1994, after the fall of Apartheid, the South African Government pledged to give the District Six land back to those who were dispossessed of their homes and their community. The (now) Cape Peninsula University of Technology subsequently donated some of its vacant land to the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform that had extensive plans in place to redevelop and reinvent District Six for the land claimants. The aim of the project was to repair the damage done by the forced removals and to recover the lost landscape.

During the past five years, development of Phase 1 and 2 has taken place, and has been managed by the District Six Beneficiary Trust.

Phase 3 was then initiated and run by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform. The aim of Phase 3 was to develop 46 terraced houses and 82 apartments, restoring the typical characteristics of the original District Six. The designs were closely coordinated with the District Six Reference Group, a representative body of the claimant community.

Delta BEC was appointed as the principal consultant and project manager for Phase 3 of the redevelopment of District Six. The main responsibility of this appointment was to manage and coordinate the different disciplines, including architects, engineers, and quantity surveyors, and to act as principal agent with respect to the construction contract. Stakeholder management and coordination between the District Six Reference Group, national government, provincial government, and local government were further significant responsibilities of Delta BEC.
