There’s something magnetic about this stretch of Langalibalele Road—it’s one of those rare spots where old-world charm and modern business needs actually meet. This 550 sqm heritage property sits on a beautifully maintained section of the street, surrounded by a constant buzz of foot traffic and civic energy. Right across from the Town Hall, it’s in a part of the city where people move all day, every day. Downstairs you’ve got high-visibility retail space, ideal for anything from boutique showrooms to service-based setups. Upstairs? That’s where things get interesting: a full office floor, fitted out with built-in security features, all-round air conditioning, and more than a few design surprises that speak to the building’s original craftsmanship.
The upper level is fully kitted for a mid-sized office operation or even a creative studio setup. Fingerprint sensors are built into key access points, giving the space an extra layer of security, and there's a dedicated lounge bar area that's part functional break space, part quiet retreat—pretty handy if you’ve got clients visiting or just want something a bit different for your team. Climate control’s sorted with aircon throughout, and if you take a closer look, there are original details still visible: stained glass tucked into corners, steel sculptural elements, and carved stonework that’s been left intentionally exposed. It’s not a cookie-cutter commercial block—it’s got depth and character, and the layout supports a mix of private offices and open workspaces depending on what you need.
Out back, there’s secured access via Carbineer Street, which leads you to 21 shaded parking bays—gated, private, and only for tenants and guests. That setup makes logistics a whole lot easier, especially if you’re using both the front for customer-facing services and the rear for operations. The building’s powered by a 3-phase connection, so if you’ve got equipment or tech-heavy needs, you’re covered. And honestly, the flexibility of this place is what makes it stand out. Whether you're an investor looking for stable rental returns or a business needing a premium, walkable city-centre location, it ticks a lot of boxes without trying too hard.
