Netcare UCT Private Academic Hospital, Groote Schuur Hospital and the UCT Faculty of Health Sciences are all within a few hundred metres, with upper campus a short shuttle ride away. Observatory station, St Peter's Square Shopping Centre, Norwood Mall and the cafés, restaurants and vintage shops of Lower Main Road are on the doorstep, and the M3, M5 and N2 put the CBD, Kirstenbosch and the airport within easy reach. That geography is the whole investment case. Registrars, medical staff, postgraduate students and remote-working professionals need to be within walking distance of those hospitals, which is why Observatory holds some of the lowest residential vacancy rates in Cape Town. VIEWING Strictly by appointment and arranged around the tenant. Bailey. -Your preferred real estate broker.
