Prime East London CBD Investment & Development Opportunity
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial approximately 1,100 m² commercial property in the heart of East London CBD, offering excellent potential to significantly increase rental income and unlock additional value through redevelopment.
The property currently comprises retail space on the ground floor, with the first floor offering excellent potential for conversion into accommodation. The existing leases are all on a month-to-month basis, providing a prospective purchaser with the flexibility to restructure the tenancy profile and reposition the property to achieve substantially improved returns.
The current GLA of approximately 1,100 m² also presents an exciting opportunity to subdivide the existing retail space into smaller, more affordable shops, potentially attracting a broader range of tenants and increasing the overall rental per square metre.
An additional and potentially lucrative option is to convert the first floor into student accommodation. The property is well positioned in relation to Walter Sisulu University and the University of Fort Hare, making it ideally suited to cater for the strong demand for centrally located student housing.
