AUCTIONEERS NOTE – DOUBLE PLOT, DOUBLE STORY, DUAL ACCESS OFF CURRIE STREET, LOADS OF POTENTIAL.
Situated in the heart of East London’s bustling Esplanade precinct, this landmark mixed-use building presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, developers, and business owners alike. Known as the heartbeat of our city’s nightlife and a magnet for both locals and tourists, the Esplanade is home to some of East London’s most sought-after amenities, with tertiary institutions, hospitality hubs, and government offices all within easy reach. The demand for accommodation in this vibrant corridor continues to surge, driven by a diverse mix of residents and visitors—from hotel staff and city workers to students and holidaymakers seeking proximity to the beachfront and CBD. This property offers the ideal foundation to tap into that growth, positioned perfectly in a high-visibility area where opportunity meets location.
Set on a 607m² plot, this well constructed building offers approximately 200m² of ground-floor space, would be perfectly suited to retail or service related commercial use. Located along busy Currie Street, the frontage enjoys expansive display windows and constant passing traffic—making it a prime spot for boutique retail, a trendy café, or professional offices. Currently configured as an open-plan layout, the ground floor can easily be subdivided back into two distinct retail sections as it once was, providing flexible rental options or dual income streams. Though refurbishment is required, the structure offers great bones and exciting potential. Each section has the convenience of its own private space to install a kitchenette, backend office and ablution facilities, ensuring practicality for future tenants or owner-occupiers.
The upper level, currently used as a spacious residential unit, offers additional versatility. It features three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a main en suite), a large lounge and dining area, a built-in braai, and a study—ideal for comfortable living or conversion into additional income-generating accommodation. With minimal adaptation, this area could serve as a boutique guesthouse, staff housing, or even expanded retail or office space. At the rear, you’ll find approximately 100m² of storage, consisting of five single garages and a separate storeroom—perfect for holding stock or workshop use. Whether you’re looking to modernize and restore its character, repurpose it into a dynamic mixed-use development, or simply capitalize on its incredible location and flexibility (zoning to be confirmed with town planning), this property promises exceptional long-term value.
Don’t miss this rare chance to secure a cornerstone site in one of East London’s most dynamic growth zones. With its unbeatable position, mixed-use potential, and undeniable charm, this property is ready to be transformed into a showpiece investment for the future. We look forward to welcoming your bids on auction day—seize this opportunity to shape the next chapter of the East London Esplanade!
