Office Space Salt Orchard, Salt River, Cape Town , Salt River

Industrial heritage, natural light, and adaptable layout in Cape Town’s design district.

This 261m² split-level commercial unit at Salt Orchard in Salt River combines old-school industrial charm with modern commercial flexibility. It’s a solid pick for agencies, showrooms, lifestyle concepts, or boutique retail businesses wanting something different—something with story and edge.

Inside Appeal
You walk into a big, bright, double-volume space framed by original timber and steel trusses overhead, and polished concrete underfoot, with red-brick inlays that nod to the building’s history. Full-height steel windows throw in light all day, giving the place an open, energised feel.

Front and centre is a custom timber bar—complete with a carved world map on its front—perfect for tastings, events, or just making a lasting first impression. There's already a liquor licence in place (can be transferred, at the tenant’s cost), which opens doors for anyone running an event-forward or lifestyle-driven business.

Behind the bar, there’s a versatile back-of-house area with storage and plumbing ready for a shower install—handy for staff facilities or a wellness setup. Two restrooms sit neatly behind a white arched walkway, maintaining the design flow without compromising practicality.

Upstairs Calm
The mezzanine adds a soft contrast: warm timber floors, a curved white ceiling, and delicate original lattice detailing. It’s a quiet, light-filled perch—ideal for desks, creative work, or consults—and it overlooks the activity below while giving you a bit of separation.

Outdoor Flexibility
Out front, you’ve got a timber-decked veranda stretching the full width of the unit. Use it for relaxed seating, product display, or sharp signage—it’s your direct connection to Salt River’s busy foot traffic.
