Commercial property for sale in Cape Town City Centre

Description

Behind a preserved 19th century facade that has watched over Bree Street for generations sits one of the CBD's most compelling office investments - a fully tenanted, AAA-grade corporate floor with income secured to 31 July 2027. The building tells two stories at once. From the street, Touchstone House reads as heritage: gabled lines, old-world proportion, the kind of facade that anchors a block. Step inside and the story changes entirely - 24-hour security, controlled access, backup power and water, fibre throughout, and a full floor of Grade-A finish with a wall of natural light over the Foreshore and city beyond. That contrast is the asset's quiet superpower: tenants get a heritage address with none of the compromises heritage buildings usually demand. 1,106m2 of income from day one. The floor is tenanted now, generating rental income immediately on transfer,... Behind a preserved 19th century facade that has watched over Bree Street for generations sits one of the CBD's most compelling office investments - a fully tenanted, AAA-grade corporate floor with income secured to 31 July 2027. The building tells two stories at once. From the street, Touchstone House reads as heritage: gabled lines, old-world proportion, the kind of facade that anchors a block. Step inside and the story changes entirely - 24-hour security, controlled access, backup power and water, fibre throughout, and a full floor of Grade-A finish with a wall of natural light over the Foreshore and city beyond. That contrast is the asset's quiet superpower: tenants get a heritage address with none of the compromises heritage buildings usually demand. 1,106m2 of income from day one. The floor is tenanted now, generating rental income immediately on transfer, with the lease running through to 31 July 2027 (with tenant retention option) - giving a new owner secured cashflow before any repositioning decision needs to be made. With fitted kitchenettes, bathrooms and a well-configured layout already in place, the floor is a strong candidate for conversion to flexible/co-working suites once the lease matures - a format increasingly in demand from: -Corporate satellite teams and law/accounting/financial services firms wanting a Bree Street address without the overhead of a full standalone office -Flex-office and serviced-office operators - the building already hosts flex tenants, proving out the model on-site -Tech, media, and professional services scale-ups outgrowing co-working -Owner-occupier professional firms (legal, medical specialists, consultancies) wanting to own rather than rent their premises long-term, with a tenant covering the bond in the interim The numbers. At R28,000/m2, this is priced competitively compared to similar AAA-grade CBD stock, for a full floor in a building offering underground parking (33 bays available), roof terrace access, and walking distance to the CTICC and V&A Waterfront, with easy N1/N2 access. Whole floors of this size, in this position, with an income stream already attached, don't come to market often - most CBD stock trades in fragmented, multi-owner units. Owning a complete floor gives a buyer control most commercial investors never get: over signage, security, layout, and future tenant mix. In short: you're buying a cash-flowing, heritage-fronted, Grade-A floor in the most walkable part of the Cape Town CBD, with a clear runway to reposition into one of the most in-demand commercial formats in the market - flexible workspace - the moment the timing suits you.
