Area Overview

What was once seen as a quiet beachside neighbourhood has become a full-blown commercial destination. Table View and Parklands are now buzzing with daily activity — MyCiTi buses crisscrossing the main routes, the R27 humming with commuters, and malls like Bayside and Sandown Retail Crossing pulling in steady foot traffic from Blouberg to Melkbosstrand.

For retailers, the numbers are in your favour: high visibility, consistent walk-in trade, and a demographic mix that spans young professionals, established families, and a growing medical and lifestyle market. For service-based businesses and office users, the appeal is even clearer — smaller satellite spaces, closer to where staff live, without the daily CBD slog. And for logistics and last-mile operators, the area's proximity to the N7, airport, and harbour gives it a tactical advantage without inner-city complications.

What sets this region apart is the pace of growth. Parklands North, Sunningdale, and Big Bay are expanding fast — bringing with them new customers, new demand, and the infrastructure to support it. Sandown Retail Crossing, now under the stewardship of FPG Holdings, is a strong example of this momentum. It already hosts Checkers Hyper, House & Home, Seattle Coffee, and national food chains — and with planned upgrades to layout and tenant mix, it’s only getting better positioned to serve the expanding residential base.

Meanwhile, professional services are moving in — digital agencies, medtech firms, and private practitioners are setting up shop in compact, well-serviced office units along key routes like Sandown, Blaauwberg, and the backroads linking Parklands to Table View and West Beach. You’ll find high-speed fibre, stable power, and a local municipality that’s actively encouraging commercial expansion.

Bloubergstrand’s tourism appeal adds a complementary edge — restaurants, boutique hotels, and short-stay accommodation all benefit from its beach-facing charm, but also feed traffic back into the core commercial zones. For a business that wants space to grow, a reliable client base, and infrastructure that won’t let them down, this stretch of the Western Seaboard is a compelling choice.
