Retail to Let in Foreshore

The Foreshore is a commercial suburb in the Western Cape, positioned on the seaward edge of the Cape Town city bowl. It is bordered by major arterial routes including the N1 and N2 highways, providing direct access into the city and out toward Cape Town International Airport, which is roughly twenty kilometres away. Public transport is well-supported by proximity to the central railway station, MyCiTi bus routes, and standard minibus taxi ranks, making the area accessible for commuters from across the greater metropole.

Commercial property here consists primarily of high-rise office towers with ground-floor retail spaces, alongside mixed-use developments. The area suits businesses seeking proximity to the adjacent Cape Town CBD without the older street-level density found deeper in the city centre. Compared to decentralised nodes such as Claremont, Bellville, Durbanville, Parklands, Somerset West, Wynberg, and Tygervalley, the Foreshore offers a high-density, urban commercial environment oriented toward corporate offices and street-front retail.

The local retail to let market features units ranging from ten to five hundred and fifty-four square metres across buildings such as Cape Station, 33 Martin Hammerschlag Way, and the Foretrust Building, with asking rentals averaging around R305 per square metre per month.
