Johannesburg at a glance
As the largest city in South Africa, it is no wonder that Johannesburg is the biggest commercial and industrial node in the country and is often referred to as SA’s economic powerhouse. A wide variety of flourishing industries can be found in this city and its surrounding suburbs, these include; commercial, financial, industrial, and mining undertakings. Established in 1886 after the discovery of gold, the city grew rapidly and within a decade the once small populated farm increased to approximately 100 000. Today there are more than eight million inhabitants in Johannesburg, which spans around 2000 km2.

Industrial and Commercial Property Market
Continual demand for A and P Grade office accommodation has been fuelling the vigour of the commercial property landscape in Johannesburg – with medium and smaller sized businesses seeking out flexible lease terms opting for three-year leases. Together with the increase in stock, due to new developments, particularly in popular commercial nodes, competition is high.
Industrial developments have also increased the activity in this sector, with the prospects of great future growth in the long-terms. Logistics companies seeking secure warehousing space have also been driving the demand, particularly in the central, eastern and western suburbs – with prime gross rent set around R55 and R60 per square metre per month and 9.9% vacancy rate.
