About This Space
111 Bree Street is a Premium-grade retail space development located in Cape Town CBD. The building features fibre connectivity, backup power, 24-hour security and easy freeway access. Ample parking with 20 bays available.
502m² Premium Retail to let in Loop Street, Cape Town CBD, with excellent natural light and a raw, industrial aesthetic. We see this space working well for a range of retail ventures, including Apparel & Fashion, Luxury Goods & Jewellery, Sporting Goods, or Furniture & Home Furnishings, needing a prominent street-level presence and flexible fit-out options. The unit presents in a raw, unfinished state, typical of a development phase, offering a blank canvas for a bespoke fit-out. We noticed the wide, open frontage features floor-to-ceiling glazing, ensuring excellent natural light floods the space. The flooring is exposed concrete in a neutral grey, showing some signs of wear but ready for a tenant's chosen finish. Overhead, the exposed industrial ceilings with visible red piping and conduits give it a modern, adaptable feel, with a high ceiling height estimated around 3 meters. This is premium location with high foot traffic and exposure and there will soon be a beautiful large glass shopfront.
This commercial unit available just off Bree Street offers a substantial 502m² of open-plan space. The walls are predominantly unfinished concrete or plastered, with some sections partially constructed, allowing for flexible partitioning. The large, open-plan layout, even with a prominent central concrete pillar, provides significant flexibility for various retail displays or customer flow. Functional but uneven lighting is currently in place, which a new tenant can easily upgrade to suit their brand. Outside, the busy street environment and adjacent construction site highlight the ongoing development and commercial vibrancy of this Cape Town CBD location. The gross rate for this space is R320/sqm per month, bringing the gross monthly rental to R160,640. For convenience, there are 20 optional basement parking bays available separately at R2,500 per bay per month, providing a parking ratio of 1:5. There are also lots of visitor parking bays. The building is fibre-ready and benefits from a backup generator, ensuring business continuity.

Cape Town CBD Overview
The Cape Town Central Business District remains the beating heart of the city's commercial activity. Stretching from the Foreshore and Cape Town Station toward Company's Garden and the East City, the CBD combines corporate towers, courts, government buildings, heritage offices, retail streets and a growing creative-services layer.
For retail occupiers, the local stock profile includes high-footfall street retail and convenience retail around St Georges Mall, Long Street, Bree Street and the station precinct. Q1 2026 public office-node data shows Cape Town CBD vacancy at 11.4%, above the 6.0% metro average, while better-located and upgraded buildings continue to draw tenant interest. Source basis: Q1 2026 SAPOA / MSCI / Gmaven office-node summary; figures should be read as asking-market indicators, not guaranteed achieved rentals.
Public transport access includes MyCiTi bus rapid transit - multiple routes, Cape Town Station (Metrorail), Golden Arrow bus services and Minibus taxi routes serving the City Bowl and wider metro. Road access is via N1 (Northern Suburbs), N2 (Airport & Eastern suburbs) and M3 (Southern Suburbs). Secure basement, structured and municipal parking is available, but bay ratios and monthly costs vary sharply by building. The area is especially relevant for Financial services, Legal firms, Government departments, Professional services and Creative and technology firms.
