The Maranello: Retail Shops to let in Foreshore

The Maranello is a contemporary mixed-use, multi-residential development located at 77 Jan Smuts Street, Foreshore, Cape Town. Positioned within one of Cape Town’s fastest-evolving urban precincts, the building occupies a prominent street-facing site with strong visibility and accessibility along a key arterial route.

The development comprises 151 bespoke luxury residential apartments above a generously proportioned ground-floor retail component designed to activate the street edge and support pedestrian engagement. The retail spaces benefit from expansive floor-to-ceiling glazed frontage, providing excellent exposure to both vehicular and foot traffic and allowing for high-impact merchandising opportunities.

Architecturally, the building is contemporary in expression, with carefully stepped massing that enhances the pedestrian environment along Jan Smuts Street. The design creates “breathing space” between the building and the pavement, enabling retail tenants to utilise tradable outdoor areas and establish an active interface with the public realm.

The ground-floor retail accommodates flexible layouts suitable for a range of uses, including food, convenience, and boutique retail. Supporting back-of-house infrastructure includes dedicated refuse areas, water storage, generator facilities, network rooms, and substation services. The building also incorporates secure parking and service access, ensuring efficient operation for both residents and commercial tenants.

The Maranello is strategically located between Cape Town’s CBD and the V&A Waterfront, within close proximity to the Cape Town International Convention Centre, Artscape Theatre Centre, Civic Centre, MyCiTi transport routes, and major commercial corridors. This positioning ensures sustained footfall from residents, office workers, visitors, and event-driven activity, reinforcing the building’s appeal as a prime urban retail and residential address.
