Commercial Property

Commercial property refers to the Real Estate that houses your business. Depending on your budget and requirements, commercial property can vary considerably in size, nature, capacity and facilities, encompassing everything from industrial property to retail property. This ensures an excellent variety of properties to suit the ever-changing needs of the commercial sector.

Both Gauteng and the Western Cape are home to a large number of economic nodes, accounting for a large portion of the commercial property in South Africa.

In Gauteng, key business nodes include the Johannesburg areas of Sandton, Rivonia, Bryanston and Braamfontein as well as Centurion and Hatfield in Pretoria.

In Cape Town, key business zones include the CBD, Foreshore, Century City, Newlands and Claremont, as well as many other zones such as mixed residential and commercial areas that offer a convenient solution to commuters who prefer to avoid the busy city-based areas.

Whether you are seeking a cost-effective, centrally-located commercial property for sale in the heart of Cape Town’s CBD, an impressive complex in Sandton or even smaller but equally well-positioned commercial rentals in the growing economic hubs of KwaZulu-Natal or the Eastern Cape, we are here to help you find the right commercial property to suit your business needs.

Renting and buying both have different benefits for the business owner. Renting takes the responsibility of managing the property off the hands of the tenant and is a more flexible option as your business changes and grows. Owning a space can be a fantastic long term investment if chosen correctly and has the flexibility of renovation your space as your business grows.

The most money is made in achieving the right purchase price, have you looked at the property against similar sales in the area.
