Off the back of a stabilising rate environment, South African investors are continuing to purchase well-located assets with resilient income streams, particularly in the logistics, retail and residential sectors.

South Africa’s leading commercial real estate brokerage, Broll Auctions and Sales will put a wide selection of commercial, industrial and hospitality properties under the hammer in July 2025 at a multi-asset auction.

“With another exciting auction catalogue, the July auction spans several provinces and sectors, offering investors access to income-generating assets and development opportunities in established and emerging nodes,” says Broll Auctions and Sales’ CEO, Norman Raad.

In the Western Cape, a well-situated industrial yard in Elsies River, Goodwood offers good returns in this high-demand logistics and storage corridor. Proximity to key arterials enhances the appeal of this well-tenanted asset offering low maintenance and low management.

In the Eastern Cape, a retail centre in KwaZakhele, Port Elizabeth, will be offered to the market. Cashbuild is the anchor tenant in landmark Njoli Square, located on the busy corner of Njoli and Meke Street, providing significant foot traffic and a strong residential catchment for township retail.

One of the stand-out properties going under the hammer is a BP service station in City and Suburban, Johannesburg. The property is let to a national tenant on a long-term lease and situated in a high-traffic area, providing a solid opportunity for fuel retail investment. “We continue to see a demand for fuel stations, especially those which have adapted to changing market trends and have modernised forecourts and convenience offerings as well as great coffee,” Raad says.

Staying in Johannesburg, Hallmark House in New Doornfontein, part of the broader Maboneng regeneration area, offers 46 beautifully-designed boutique hotel rooms as a single, consolidation section.

“This location continues to attract interest from investors focused on creative precincts and inner-city renewal,” Raad says.

For the trendy man about town, the Black Coffee-inspired Penthouse at Hallmark House is a striking double-storey, three-bedroomed suite, designed collaboratively by artist Black Coffee, interior designer Tristan du Plessis, and fashion icon Laduma Ngxokolo. This one-of-a-kind space – a separate lot – blends luxury with cultural sophistication, featuring a private gym, state-of-the-art cinema, fully equipped recording studio, bespoke furniture, and curated art.

“With two expansive open-plan living areas, the penthouse exudes modern elegance and versatility, making it the ideal destination venue for a special occasion, or as exclusive retreat in the heart of Johannesburg.” Fifteen sectional title apartments in this culturally significant building are also on offer.

A separate lot within Hallmark House is The Marabi Club, regarded as the best jazz club in the country. This atmospheric underground venue in the heart of Johannesburg is rooted in the rich cultural legacy of South Africa’s 1920’s marabi movement, and pays homage to its heritage through its vibrant ambiance and carefully curated interior. More than just a jazz club, this versatile venue can also be used to host a wide range of events.

In the East Rand, an industrial facility in Tunney, Germiston, will be brought to market. Well-connected to the N12 and R24 transport nodes as well as being near OR Tambo International Airport, the site features warehouse and yard infrastructure suited to distribution, logistics or light manufacturing.

Johannesburg’s northern suburbs have three notable lots. The “All Mint Apartments” in Greenside comprise a boutique retail and residential development with sectional title units. The recently built complex is positioned in a high-demand rental area and presents a turnkey mixed-use investment.

A commercial office asset on Gwen Lane in Sandton CBD is back on the market. “This six-storey office block was once the home of Primedia and its location, at the intersection of Gwen Lane and Fredman Drive, is the heart of Africa’s leading financial district, making it an attractive opportunity for investors or corporate occupiers seeking a Sandton address.”

Also in the northern suburbs, a fully let mixed-use building in Illovo will be auctioned. The property benefits from a diversified tenant base and stable income, with long-term upside in a well-established business and residential precinct.

In Limpopo, a fully operational lodge near Liverpool village in the Hoedspruit area offers a hospitality investment in one of South Africa’s key eco-tourism corridors.

“The Mali Mali Safari Lodge, within the Ndlovumzi Nature Reserve, offers its owners access to the entire reserve while sharing management responsibilities. It will appeal to buyers seeking lifestyle assets with income potential, particularly within the expanding lowveld tourism market.”

Wildlife on the property include giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, kudus, impalas, nyalas, duikers, warthogs and an array of bird species. The reserve, bordering the Olifants River and with breathtaking views of the Drakensberg mountains, has seven separate accommodation units of various sizes.
