The Spice Yard, Salt River Salt River

Tucked into the lively urban grid of Salt River, The Spice Yard brings a fresh rhythm to Cape Town’s commercial landscape. Originally an old spice factory, the site has been thoughtfully reimagined by Atticus Property as a mixed-use destination where small manufacturers, creative studios, and event organisers work side-by-side.

The units—ranging from light-industrial to modern office spaces—carry that raw, warehouse aesthetic with high ceilings, exposed finishes, and oversized windows that flood the interiors with light and look out over the Devil’s Peak skyline.

The vibe here is very much Salt River—gritty, creative, and full of momentum. You’re minutes from the Salt River Station, and right on Voortrekker Road, which links easily to the M4, N1 and CBD. The monthly Saturday market draws a solid local crowd, while the on-site gallery and regular live music events add a cultural pulse to the working day.

Businesses in food, design, tech, or small-scale manufacturing will feel right at home here, especially with 24-hour security, basement parking, and a supportive, entrepreneurial tenant mix already in place.
