Retail to Let in Gauteng

Gauteng is the economic heartland of South Africa, anchored by major transport routes including the N1, N3, and N12 highway networks that connect the province to coastal ports and neighbouring regions. It is served by O.R. Tambo International Airport and Lanseria International Airport, alongside established commuter rail networks, the Gautrain rapid rail system, and extensive minibus taxi and bus routes linking major commercial nodes.

Commercial activity spans several key nodes, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, and the East and West Rand. Property types range from high-street shops and neighbourhood convenience centres to large regional shopping malls and standalone showrooms, accommodating national retailers, independent traders, food and beverage operators, and service providers.

The retail to let market features spaces ranging from 10 to 30,462 square metres across more than 1,000 recorded buildings, with asking rentals averaging about R131 per square metre per month, reflecting an upward movement of about 136% in asking rates since 2005.
