About This Space

WEX 1 offers quality retail space space in Woodstock. The building features fibre connectivity, backup power, 24-hour security and easy freeway access.

443m² retail space to rent at 85 Albert Rd, WEX 1, Woodstock Cape Town, ideal for restaurants or showroom brands needing visibility and strong foot traffic. We find this commercial space in Woodstock Cape Town really practical for businesses that rely on exposure and a steady flow of customers. The unit sits on a busy corner inside WEX 1, so there’s constant movement around you, and the layout actually works well for both dining setups and retail displays.

As we walk through the space, you notice the double-volume ceilings straight away, it gives the unit a more open feel and helps with airflow. The large windows bring in loads of natural light, which makes a difference if you're setting up a lifestyle store or restaurant environment. There’s already a fully fitted kitchen with cold rooms in place, so if you’re in food service, you’re not starting from scratch. If not, the white-box option gives flexibility to shape it how you want. Being on Albert Road means easy access to main routes like the N1 and N2, plus you’re close enough to Cape Town CBD and the V&A Waterfront for convenience.

From a cost side, the rental sits at R79 740 per month gross, with a rate of R180/m² for the full 443m². Secure on-site parking is available, which helps for both staff and customers, especially in a busy area like Woodstock. We’ve seen similar Woodstock commercial real estate, but this one stands out mainly because of its corner exposure and ready-to-use setup, although it does depend on your business model.
