Prime Flagship Retail Opportunity – 49 Main Road, Rondebosch
Position your brand at the heart of one of Cape Town’s most vibrant and affluent commercial corridors. This exceptional retail premises at 49 Main Road, Rondebosch offers a rare combination of high visibility, generous floor area, and existing infrastructure suited to an established national or regional brand seeking a flagship presence.
Ground Floor – Retail Excellence (337m²)
The ground floor comprises an expansive 337m² of open-plan retail space, designed to maximize customer flow and operational efficiency. The premises features:
Two customer entrances/exits on either side of the storefront, allowing for seamless foot traffic movement and flexible store layout.
Large street-facing display windows delivering outstanding exposure and branding opportunity along busy Main Road.
Rear roller shutter door with direct access from the parking area, ideal for efficient stock control, deliveries, and logistics.
Previously occupied by a well-known national brand, with select infrastructure still in place — making this space highly suitable for a restaurant, food concept, or high-end retail operation with minimal conversion required.

Four private offices, each fitted with individual air-conditioning units.
A staff kitchen, providing a comfortable breakaway and dining area.
A dedicated cleaning room and two modern toilet facilities.
An additional separate entrance from Main Road, allowing direct access to the office component without passing through the retail floor — ideal for management, administration, or professional services use.
Power Security & Operational Continuity
The property is further enhanced by the inclusion of a generator, ensuring uninterrupted operations during load shedding — a significant advantage for retail and restaurant operators alike.

Situated along the highly sought-after Main Road, Rondebosch, this property benefits from constant vehicular and pedestrian traffic and is surrounded by a strong mix of:
Established restaurants and cafés
Medical and wellness practices
Financial and professional services
Boutique retail and lifestyle offerings
