About This Space
The Old Biscuit Mill is a A-grade retail space development located in Woodstock. The building features fibre connectivity, backup power, 24-hour security and easy freeway access.
78m² ground-floor retail space available at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock. This retail unit suits galleries, boutique lifestyle brands, wine or whisky concepts, and premium retailers wanting exposure within one of Cape Town’s busiest mixed-use precincts.
Positioned within the courtyard section of the Old Biscuit Mill, the space benefits from consistent foot traffic generated by the precinct’s restaurants, retailers, creative studios and weekend markets. The open-plan layout gives tenants flexibility around product displays, seating or gallery installations, while the double-volume ceilings create a more spacious retail feel. Polished concrete floors, modern lighting and generous natural light complement the industrial character of the building, making the space well suited to brands wanting a more design-focused environment. The ground-floor position also improves accessibility and visibility for passing visitors.
Retail opportunities within the Old Biscuit Mill courtyard are limited, particularly for smaller boutique operators wanting a presence in Woodstock’s established creative and lifestyle node. The previous gallery setup shows the space works well for experiential retail, curated showrooms or hospitality concepts that rely on atmosphere and customer engagement. Any hospitality, food or alcohol-related use is subject to landlord approval and confirmation that the unit is suitable for the proposed activity. The surrounding mix of established tenants and regular destination traffic continues to make this one of the more recognised commercial addresses in Woodstock and the Cape Town fringe.
