About De Waterkant
De Waterkant Property Market Guide
In-depth market analysis, rental rates, and investment insights
The office sector should maintain low vacancies for P- and A-Grade buildings, with steady rent growth. Demand is driven by tech and creative firms seeking amenity-rich space. Aging B-Grade stock may require refurbishment to retain tenants. Industrial space in De Waterkant is very limited. Existing light-industrial and storage units are in high demand, commanding premium rents. Any new supply would be small-scale or involve converting older buildings, given land constraints. Retail fundamentals remain strong, especially for boutique and experiential outlets. Foot traffic is expected to grow with tourism recovery, supporting new F&B and lifestyle entrants. Vacancy rates are likely to stay low as demand outstrips the limited high-street supply.
