22 Long Street: Office Space to let in Cape Town CBD

22 Long Street is a recently refurbished A-grade commercial office building situated on the corner of Long Street and Strand Street in Cape Town CBD. The property offers substantial, flexible office floor plates, secure basement parking, fibre connectivity and modern building infrastructure within one of the most established commercial sections of central Cape Town.

Originally developed in the early 1980s, 22 Long Street has undergone a significant refurbishment and external facelift, repositioning the property for contemporary office users. The upgrades have modernised the building while retaining the large, efficient floor plates that make it particularly suitable for corporate occupiers, professional services firms, BPO operations and contact centres.

The building provides approximately 1,516 m² per full floor, giving larger businesses the opportunity to occupy substantial contiguous office areas. Individual floors can accommodate a combination of open-plan workspace, private offices, meeting rooms, boardrooms, training facilities, staff kitchens and canteens. Where adjoining floors are available, businesses can potentially combine them to create an office requirement exceeding 3,000 m² within the same building.

One of the main advantages of 22 Long Street is the flexibility of its office accommodation.

The large floor plates work particularly well for businesses requiring higher-density workstation environments, but they can equally accommodate more traditional corporate layouts incorporating cellular offices, boardrooms and meeting rooms.

Existing fitted offices within the building demonstrate this flexibility, with configurations that include multiple private offices, boardrooms, meeting facilities, large open-plan work areas, staff kitchens and canteens.

Depending on the particular vacancy, premises may be available with an existing fit-out that can be retained or adapted by an incoming tenant. Selected spaces may also offer the option to retain existing furniture, subject to agreement, reducing the initial setup required before occupation.

This makes the building particularly relevant for businesses that want to move into established premises quickly while retaining the flexibility to modify the office around their own operational requirements.
Suitable for Larger Corporate and BPO Users
The size and configuration of the floor plates make 22 Long Street particularly suitable for larger businesses.

A full floor of approximately 1,516 m² provides sufficient space for a substantial workforce while still allowing areas to be allocated for management offices, meeting facilities, staff amenities and breakout areas.

Potential occupiers include:
- Corporate regional and head offices
- Financial and professional services firms
- Insurance businesses
- BPO and contact centre operations
- Technology companies
- Legal and consulting firms
- Administrative and support operations
- Training and education businesses

For BPO and call centre users in particular, the ability to accommodate large open-plan workstation areas within a single floor can assist with operational efficiency and team management.
Security and Building Access 22 Long Street provides 24-hour security and controlled access, supporting businesses operating conventional office hours as well as companies with extended or shift-based operations.

Lift access is provided to the office floors, while secure on-site parking allows tenants to access the building directly from the parking areas. The building is also wheelchair accessible. These features are particularly relevant for larger occupiers with significant staff complements or businesses that receive regular client and visitor traffic.

Fibre and Business Infrastructure
High-speed fibre connectivity is available within 22 Long Street, supporting businesses with significant connectivity requirements. The building also offers backup power infrastructure, providing additional operational resilience for businesses dependent on reliable electricity supply.

Parking at 22 Long Street - Secure on-site parking is available within the building.This is an important advantage in the Cape Town CBD, particularly for corporate occupiers requiring dedicated parking for management, staff or visiting clients.

Parking allocations depend on the size of the premises being leased and current availability. Larger office requirements can accommodate meaningful parking allocations, with current larger vacancies being marketed with substantial numbers of basement bays.
