Commercial Property Broking and Leasing Services in Cape Town
Cape Space connects tenants and landlords across Cape Town’s commercial property market. We handle office, industrial, and retail lease transactions on behalf of businesses looking to secure the right space, and on behalf of property owners looking to place quality tenants. Whether you are a business planning a relocation or a lease renewal, or a landlord with vacant space to fill, we manage the process from initial brief through to signed lease.
Tenant Representation
When we represent you as a tenant, our job is to find the right space at the right terms and to protect your interests throughout the process. We start by building a brief around your size requirements, location preferences, budget, and lease term. From there, we identify properties that match your criteria, arrange viewings, and shortlist the options that make most sense for your business. We then negotiate directly with landlords on your behalf, covering rental rate, annual escalation, deposit, lease term, rent free periods, and any tenant installation allowance. Tenant representation costs you nothing. Brokerage fees are paid by the landlord on conclusion of a lease. You get direct representation with no financial exposure.
Landlord Representation and Letting Mandates
If you own or manage commercial space in Cape Town, we take on letting mandates to market your property and find suitable tenants. We work across office, industrial, and retail property types. Our approach is direct: we qualify prospective tenants properly before bringing them to you, provide market feedback on rates and presentation, and manage the offer and negotiation process through to a signed lease. We work with both private landlords and property funds managing space across Cape Town’s established commercial nodes.

Cape Space operates across Cape Town’s main office precincts, including the CBD, Century City, Claremont, Rondebosch, Green Point, Woodstock, and Observatory, as well as the northern suburbs nodes of Bellville, Tygervalley, and Plattekloof. We work with tenants ranging from small professional practices looking for a single suite to corporate occupiers requiring full floor and multi floor space.

We know the buildings, the landlords, and the current availability across these areas, which means we can move quickly and avoid placing you in front of unsuitable options.
How the Leasing Process Works
From the point of engagement to a signed lease, the process typically takes four to eight weeks for straightforward requirements.
A commercial lease transaction follows a clear sequence. You share your requirements with us. We conduct a market search and prepare a shortlist. We arrange viewings at properties that fit your brief. You identify a preferred option. We submit an offer to the landlord on your behalf and negotiate the terms. Once both parties agree, the landlord’s attorneys draw up the lease for signature. From the point of engagement to a signed lease, the process typically takes four to eight weeks for straightforward requirements. Larger or more complex mandates take longer, which is why starting early gives you the most options and the strongest negotiating position.
