Commercial spaces at the V&A

From heritage buildings to Cape Town's only 6-star Green-rated office, our buildings are as varied as the neighbourhood itself.

The V&A Waterfront has been a place of serious work since before it was a neighbourhood. This address puts you on the harbour, in a neighbourhood where the boardwalk is the morning commute and the client lunch options are endless. The companies that chose this address did so for a reason. Keep scrolling to discover why.

V&A Waterfront Buildings

150 years of history

Each building has its own character, shaped by heritage, architecture, and its relationship to the harbour.

Granger Bay Court

A-grade offices with the ocean on three sides, the Atlantic Seaboard two minutes away, and Victoria Wharf on foot. The people who work here tend to stay a long time.

No. 5 Silo

Naturally ventilated and industrially inspired, No. 5 Silo sits alongside Zeitz MOCAA. PwC and Werksmans run their Cape Town operations here, above 2,700 parking bays.

Portswood Ridge

Built in 1870 for harbour engineers. The old Breakwater Prison stands among them - its cells are now seminar rooms at the UCT Graduate School of Business.

Waterway House

Waterway House marks the entrance to the V&A from the city. Screened terraces on every floor offer harbour views to the north and city views to the south.

West Quay

Yachts on one side, the neighbourhood on the other. The Cape Grace next door for client lunches.

Cape Business Centre

Fully furnished executive offices at the Cape Town Cruise Terminal. Harbour views from the meeting room. Ready when you are.

Commercial tenants

Meet your neighbours

The organisations that chose this address did so because of what the neighbourhood does for the people who work in it. The boardwalk before meetings, the restaurants for client lunches, the atmosphere punctuated by working harbour outside the window. Location is part of it, but the rest is harder to put on a spec sheet.

Better workplace, better work

The heart of it

The people who work here run on the boardwalk before meetings and bring clients to harbourfront restaurants. They come back on weekends. In a market packed with choice, that is not a small thing.

Prime location

Table Mountain at one end, the open ocean at the other. Your clients arrive having already made an impression.

Talent and lifestyle

Over 80 restaurants, a gym and museums mean this neighbourhood works as hard as your business.

Sustainable by design

22 Green-rated buildings. More than any other precinct in Africa. When your business is here, it steps into that record.
