About Sable Square
Sable Square is a mixed-use commercial property recorded by Brightwave as an A-Grade building with 31,089 m² of gross lettable area at the corner of Bosmansdam Road and Ratanga Road in Century City, Cape Town. Current owner material from Spear REIT describes the property as a retail-led precinct that also contains commercial and storage accommodation, while the centre's own website presents it as an outdoor convenience village. Construction records describe a multi-building scheme organised around a central piazza. For prospective occupiers, this means Sable Square is not a conventional single-purpose office block or enclosed shopping mall. Its proposition is a combination of workplace, customer-facing retail and everyday convenience uses in one established property, with on-site parking and access from two prominent local roads.
Position in the local market
Sable Square is best understood as a retail-led mixed-use commercial precinct with an open-air, village-style character. Spear REIT currently places it in its retail portfolio but expressly records a mixture of retail, commercial and storage units, while the centre website reinforces the outdoor convenience format. Isipani's project record describes four buildings arranged around a central piazza, which helps explain the property's campus-like feel. This configuration can suit occupiers that value proximity to shops, food and services rather than a stand-alone corporate office environment. Its positioning is therefore practical and mixed-use, with office accommodation forming part of a broader convenience-centre setting rather than being the sole function of the property.
Space at Sable Square
Office space
Office accommodation forms part of Sable Square's broader mixed-use offer. Spear REIT identifies commercial units within the precinct, and documented redevelopment work added office space above existing portions of the centre. Business Day reported that a 2018 addition included 1,750 m² of A-grade office space, confirming that offices are an intentional component of the property rather than incidental back-office areas. Typical occupiers may include professional, administrative and service businesses that benefit from being in a customer-accessible commercial environment with shops, food uses and parking on site.
- Professional offices
- Administrative teams
- Service businesses with customer-facing requirements
Retail space
Retail is the dominant publicly documented use at Sable Square. Spear REIT classifies the asset in its retail portfolio, the centre's own website describes it as an outdoor convenience village, and the original construction record describes multiple buildings around a central piazza. The format is suited to customer-facing shops, food and beverage concepts and service businesses that value an open-air shopping environment and shared on-site amenities. Retail occupiers should still assess unit-specific frontage, servicing, signage rights and loading arrangements through lease documentation because these details are not published consistently.
- Convenience retail
- Food and beverage
- Customer-facing services
Access and surrounding destinations
Sable Square occupies the corner of Bosmansdam Road and Ratanga Road, giving the property direct access to two established local routes. Spear REIT states that the centre connects conveniently to the N1 and N7 highway network and is located on a MyCiTi bus route, with other public transport options also serving the area. MyCiTi's current route map shows multiple services operating through Century City, supporting the broader public-transport context, although the map page does not identify a Sable Square stop by name. A 2018 MyCiTi release also identifies Sable Square in Milnerton as an official campaign venue. For occupiers, the strongest verifiable access case is therefore road connectivity via Bosmansdam and Ratanga Roads, supported by owner-documented MyCiTi access. Exact stop locations and walking routes should be checked against the current MyCiTi trip planner when planning staff commutes.

Building features
Open-air village layout
The centre's own website describes Sable Square as an outdoor convenience village, while Isipani records four buildings arranged around a central piazza, supporting a multi-building open-air format.
Parking
Spear REIT and the centre website both document secure undercover and open parking. No reliable public source reviewed gives a parking ratio or confirms how bays are allocated to individual occupiers.
Mixed commercial uses
Spear REIT records a mixture of retail, commercial and storage units within Sable Square, confirming that the property accommodates more than a single commercial use type.
Public transport access
Spear REIT states that Sable Square is on a MyCiTi bus route and is also served by other public transport offerings. Exact stop positions should be verified on current transport tools.
Loadshedding positioning
Spear REIT currently labels the property as loadshedding friendly. The public property page does not specify the supporting equipment, capacity or coverage, so occupiers should verify unit-specific resilience arrangements.
Historic green certification
Misplon Green Building Consulting records a 3 Star Existing Building Certification for Sable Square in January 2018. The cited record does not confirm whether that exact rating remains current.
Who this building may suit
Best for
- Retail and service businesses seeking an established open-air convenience-centre setting
- Office occupiers that value on-site retail and food convenience
- Businesses needing road access toward the N1 and N7 corridors
- Customer-facing operators that benefit from secure open and undercover parking
Strengths
- Documented combination of retail and office accommodation within one mixed-use property
- Secure undercover and open parking documented by both owner and centre sources
- Corner position on Bosmansdam Road and Ratanga Road with owner-documented N1 and N7 connectivity
- MyCiTi access stated by the property owner
- Documented 2018 green-building certification and a clear redevelopment history
Points to consider
- Public sources use Milnerton for the physical locality, while Brightwave lists the property under Century City.
- Confirm building-wide specifications for accessibility, lifts, fibre, HVAC, security systems and loading with the broker or landlord for the selected unit.
- The loadshedding-friendly description is not accompanied by public technical detail on the owner property page.
- The 2018 green certification should be treated as historical unless a current certification record is independently verified.
Building background
Construction records show that Sable Square developed in phases. Isipani records its involvement in Phase II, completed in 2008, followed by renovation work in 2009. The contractor also records fire damage to part of the centre in 2016, after which affected areas were demolished and rebuilt, with new retail, gym and office accommodation added. Business Day reported completion of a R50 million addition in March 2018, comprising 3,431 m² of new space, including 1,750 m² of A-grade offices and 1,681 m² for a gym. Separately, Misplon Green Building Consulting records a 3 Star Existing Building Certification for Sable Square in January 2018. These sources provide a documented redevelopment history without relying on later leasing claims.
Questions about Sable Square
What kind of commercial property is Sable Square?
Brightwave records Sable Square as a mixed-use A-Grade property. Spear REIT places the asset in its retail portfolio but also documents commercial and storage units, while the centre website describes an outdoor convenience village. The practical result is a retail-led mixed-use setting with office accommodation and supporting commercial uses.
Does Sable Square include office space as well as retail?
Yes. Spear REIT identifies commercial units within the property, and documented redevelopment work added dedicated office accommodation. Business Day reported that the 2018 addition included 1,750 m² of A-grade office space. Office occupiers therefore form part of a wider retail-led precinct rather than a stand-alone office campus.
What parking is documented at Sable Square?
Spear REIT and the Sable Square website both state that the property provides secure undercover and open parking. The public sources reviewed do not provide a reliable parking ratio or explain how bays are allocated to particular premises, so occupiers should confirm any dedicated, visitor or staff parking arrangements in the relevant lease documentation.
How is Sable Square connected to major roads?
The property sits at the corner of Bosmansdam Road and Ratanga Road. Spear REIT identifies connections from the centre to both the N1 and N7 highway network. These routes support access toward the wider Cape Town road system, but exact travel times should not be treated as fixed because they depend on traffic conditions.
Is Sable Square served by public transport?
Spear REIT states that Sable Square is located on a MyCiTi bus route and is also flanked by other public transport offerings. MyCiTi's current network map confirms several routes serving Century City, although the reviewed map page does not name a Sable Square stop. Staff should check the live MyCiTi trip planner for current stop and timetable details.
Does Sable Square have documented green building credentials?
Misplon Green Building Consulting records a 3 Star Existing Building Certification for Sable Square in January 2018. This is reliable evidence of a historical certification. The sources reviewed for this profile do not establish whether that exact rating remains current in 2026, so it should not be presented as an unqualified current certification.
