Extent: ± 18 560 m² | GLA: ± 10 557 m² | Gross Annual Income: ± R 5.4 Million | General Commercial Zoning | Potential for large retailer to occupy ± 3 200 m² An exciting opportunity to acquire an established shopping centre in the heart of Vryheid, offering a combination of existing rental income, substantial floor space and significant value-add potential. Bloemnel Shopping Centre is developed across five erven with a combined extent of approximately 18,560 m² and provides approximately 9,400 m² of GLA. The centre currently generates gross monthly income, inclusive of recoveries, of approximately R552,922, while the former Checkers premises of approximately 3,478 m² is currently vacant. This substantial vacant space provides an incoming purchaser with the opportunity to reposition the centre, secure a new anchor tenant and unlock significant additional income potential. Locality Situated in Vryheid, an established commercial and retail centre serving the surrounding residential, agricultural and business communities. Bloemnel Shopping Centre benefits from an established presence within the local retail environment and provides purchasers with the opportunity to acquire an existing commercial asset with an established tenant base and infrastructure already in place. Improvements The shopping centre extends across approximately 18,560 m² of land and provides approximately 9,400 m² of gross lettable area. The property incorporates a variety of retail and commercial accommodation, with existing tenants contributing to the centre's current income stream. The former Checkers anchor premises comprise approximately 3,478 m² and are presently vacant. The substantial floor area provides flexibility for a purchaser to introduce a new anchor tenant, subdivide and reconfigure the space, or potentially adapt the accommodation to suit an alternative end-user requirement, subject to the necessary approvals. The centre is situated on General Commercial zoned land, adding to its appeal as a flexible commercial investment opportunity. Income & Value Add Potential The current tenancy schedule reflects gross monthly rentals and recoveries of approximately R552,922, providing an established income base for the purchaser. The property's most significant opportunity lies in the 3,478 m² former Checkers premises. The re-letting or repositioning of this space has the potential to materially improve the centre's income profile and overall investment performance. This creates an attractive proposition for an investor with a long-term vision and appetite to unlock value, while the size and configuration of the vacant premises may also appeal to an owner-occupier requiring substantial retail or commercial accommodation. Rather than acquiring vacant land and undertaking a lengthy development process, purchasers have the opportunity to acquire an existing retail platform with infrastructure, established tenants and immediate income, together with the potential to enhance returns through strategic repositioning. Surrounding Environment Bloemnel Shopping Centre forms part of Vryheid's established commercial environment and is positioned within a community-serving retail node. The existing tenant base creates an established trading environment, while the vacant anchor premises provide the opportunity for a new owner to redefine the tenant mix and future direction of the centre. The combination of existing income, substantial vacant accommodation and General Commercial zoning makes this an interesting proposition for purchasers looking beyond the traditional fully-let investment.See this lot on In2Assets — photos, legal pack and registration →
