Diverse mix of corporate real estate on the auction block
Broll Auctions and Sales’ penultimate auction for the year features prime commercial, retail, and industrial assets across South Africa, offering buyers genuine opportunities across multiple sectors and regions.
With assets ranging from apartment blocks and schools to service stations, retail centres and warehouses, the auction offers opportunities across every major property sector.
“Our recent auctions have shown that there is appetite from investors seeking both income-generating and value-add opportunities, and this auction provides exactly that mix,” said Broll Auction and Sales’ CEO Norman Raad.
Strong interest in educational and retail opportunities generate
Already attracting attention from multiple potential buyers is the former Mayfair Convent Primary School in Johannesburg.
“The early interest in this unique training facility demonstrates strong market confidence in adaptive reuse opportunities within Johannesburg’s established suburbs,” said Raad.
Furthermore, two shopping centre opportunities in Johannesburg are bound to fill the room with retail investors, an actively traded sector.
“Brakpan’s Dalpark Retail Centre represents a solid neighbourhood shopping destination, and Roodepoort’s Cascades Shopping Centre in Little Falls offers exposure to the rapidly developing western suburbs market,” said Raad.
Rare Cape Winelands opportunities

This versatile property, offers a blend of rural charm, 16ha of vineyards, water access in easy reach of the town’s amenities.

Growing logistics demand fuels industrial property
The auction’s industrial component features the Trentyre disposal of strategically located warehouses across key industrial nodes.
Properties in Pietermaritzburg’s Mkondeni, Johannesburg’s Steeledale and Alrode, Polokwane’s Ladine, and Welkom’s Voorspoed districts provide investors with immediate access to some of the country’s primary logistics corridors.
“In particular, the Pietermaritzburg facility, positioned within one of Pietermaritzburg’s premier industrial areas, has excellent access to major transport routes and established industrial infrastructure and we expect this to attract hot bidding on the day,” said Raad.
A ‘pumping’ fuel station market
An Astron service station in Klerksdorp Central offers investors exposure to the resilient fuel retail sector with its consistent cash flow characteristics and strategic location benefits.
