Retail space to let on busy Long Street

Suitable for a coffee shop/cafe' - outside deck for outside seating

Position your business in the heart of Cape Town's vibrant CBD with this ground-floor retail opportunity at 172 Long Street.

Offering approximately 115 m² of open-plan retail space, the premises feature a prominent street-facing glass frontage, natural light and existing plumbing infrastructure, providing a versatile foundation for a customer-focused retail or hospitality concept.

The property is positioned within Cape Town's established city-centre commercial environment, with access to nearby businesses, restaurants, cafés and public transport.

172 Long Street sits in one of Cape Town's most recognisable mixed-use streets, with a combination of tourism, nightlife, independent retail, food and beverage, and the city's creative culture.

The Cape Town Central City Improvement District reported in July 2026 that investment and coordinated efforts to improve safety, cleanliness and public spaces are supporting the revitalisation of Upper Long Street

Tourism, local residents, CBD employees and evening visitors provide a broader customer mix than a location dependent on a single residential catchment
