The catalogue for Broll Auctions & Sales’ May 2025 auction is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and exciting yet with everything from boutique agricultural farms, fuel stations, and hospitality assets, to prime retail opportunities and commercial warehousing – presenting exceptional investment potential across SA.
In the Western Cape, a substantial building used as a rehabilitation centre in Sea Point, Cape Town, is going on auction. The building offers 20 self-contained apartments, each equipped with kitchenettes offering independent living spaces. For added convenience, the property includes an on-site gym and communal bathrooms, six secured on-site parking bays plus an additional six parking bays on lease with an elevator that ensures easy access to all levels. “This three-storey asset offers strong redevelopment opportunity for mixed-use, or continued use potential, within one of the City’s most in-demand nodes,” said Broll Auctions and Sales CEO, Norman Raad.
“If you are looking for investment property in the winelands – or to change your lifestyle and become a grape grower on a boutique property, we have the perfect Wellington opportunities.” Three farms – Talana Hill, Dunedin, and Eventide – available for individual or joint purchase – are going on auction on the 18th of June, providing a rare and well-priced gateway into the heart of the Cape Winelands, ideal for lifestyle development or boutique agricultural ventures for farmers.
“Each farm includes at least one homestead and ample land for cultivation of crops of your choice,” notes Raad. Combined, the farms measure 81.4 hectares and represent some of the finest parcels of land in SA with approved water rights utilised to produce fruit and a variety of vineyards.
In Oudtshoorn Central, a government-tenanted commercial building offers investors secure income and a strong lease covenant. “One of the tallest buildings in town, it has a gross annual income of over R1.4 million, making it an attractive, income-generating asset.”
In KwaZulu-Natal, a well-positioned holiday letting block comprising 20 well-maintained multiple short stay lets on Durban’s South Beach is the perfect asset to capitalise on the city’s tourism and holiday rental market. “Located a stone’s throw from the beachfront, this four-storey block has a 22-year track record and is a high-yield opportunity for seasoned hospitality investors.”
Moving to Phoenix, KwaZulu-Natal, a well-located corner property is on the auction block, offering a rare blank canvas site – a highly sought-after opportunity in the area. With high visibility and easy access, it’s primed for fuel retail or related development.
Previously occupied by Buco, this large-format retail warehouse in Kempton Park, Gauteng, close to OR Tambo International Airport, offers excellent exposure and significant floor space. “As a modern, purpose-built warehouse we expect this asset to be snapped up quickly,” Raad says. It is suitable for both owner-occupation or value-add investment strategies.
A classic retail strip in the heart of bohemian Melville benefits from steady foot traffic and long-standing tenancy appeal. It is ideal for investors seeking exposure in one of Johannesburg’s most unique precincts. “Currently configured to accommodate six restaurants, the space offers flexibility and can easily be adapted to suit a range of commercial needs, from retail stores to office spaces or other food-related ventures.”
In the Eastern Cape, a tract of vacant land in Beachview in the coastal node of Gqeberha, is an attractive development play. With ocean proximity and scenic surroundings, it offers scope for residential or mixed-use concepts.
“With a varied and high calibre offering, our May 7th auction at Johannesburg’s The Wanderers Golf Club, from noon, should once again draw strong interest from private investors, developers, and corporates alike.”
