Retail Shops in Athlone, Cape Flats

Looking for retail premises to let in Athlone?

Situated about 9 km or a 10-minute drive from the Cape Town city centre is Athlone, one of the more dominant areas on the Cape Flats. The area can almost be considered a CBD on its own, as business in the area is thriving and has been doing so for a number of years. This is due to its central location, being in close proximity to the airport, most industrial areas, and the city centre. The main landmark  in Athlone is the Athlone stadium, which was used as training ground during the 2010 Soccer World Cup, and is often host to the best local games. The recently imploded cooling towers along the N2 highway were once a famous landmark too.

While most of Athlone is used as residential property, it has an abundance of industrial plants premises and office space too. Retail premises in Athlone are plentiful, as there are a number of convenience centres and stand-alone shops in the area.

Vangate Mall, for example, is a busy shopping centre in the area and is located on Vanguard Drive, just off the N2. It contains two supermarkets, a variety of smaller retail stores and a different mix of food stores and take-out options, including Mugg & Bean, Ocean Basket and Spur. These restaurants drive a significant amount of traffic to the mall, making it the perfect choice for retail premises in Athlone.

Another good option for retail space in Athlone is the recently renovated Kromboom Convenience Centre, which is home to a Woolworths Food store, and again, some great take-out options. (Food is quite the priority in the area!). For a more affordable option, but equally buzzing with activity, you could consider the Athlone City Centre, which is a hub for all sorts of businesses. What's more, it is located adjacent to the Athlone train station and main public transport routes.
