Momentum builds at Broll Auctions ahead of third 2026 sale
“South Africa's commercial property auction market is gaining momentum heading into the second quarter of 2026, and our March auction drew a crowd of close to 200 attendees who proved that investor appetite for real assets remains robust despite the outbreak of the war in Iran,” said Norman Raad, CEO of Broll Auctions and Sales.
With standing-room energy on the floor and competitive bidding across categories, the event reinforced that Broll's curated approach to transparent price discovery continues to attract both seasoned investors and first-time auction buyers.
On 16 April 2026, 20 properties will go under the hammer in what promises to be another exciting event. Here are eight standout lots from the catalogue, covering Gauteng, the Vaal Triangle, Free State, and the Western Cape.
Jetsetpark Retail Centre with 2 integrated fuel stations - Pretoria Central
One of the headline lots of the April auction, Jetsetpark is a well-established retail centre on the western edge of the Pretoria CBD, flanked by the high-traffic N4 national route.
The 6,644m² GLA property sits on a 22,208m² erf and is approximately 90% tenanted, delivering a basic annual rental of around R4.32 million. Blue-chip anchors include two QuickFuel service stations (leased until October 2028 with renewal options) and a KFC with a long-term lease running to October 2033. The gross annual income sits at approximately R6.91 million.
White Site Fuel Station with residential component - Dinwiddie, Germiston
A rare dual-income opportunity in the Ekurhuleni Metro, this corner-positioned white site fuel station at 60 Grey Avenue in Dinwiddie comes complete with a two-storey residential block offering ten apartments and ground floor retail. The erf measures 1,839m² with a GLA of approximately 1,600m² plus a ± 200m² forecourt canopy. The site benefits from strong connectivity to the N3, N17 and R24 highways, with consistent commuter traffic and proximity to Wadeville and the Germiston CBD.
Prime Cold Storage & Logistics facility - Ormonde, Johannesburg
Logistics investors should take note of this purpose-built cold chain hub on Amethyst Road, Ormonde - one of the most compelling industrial lots in the April catalogue.
The facility spans a total GLA of ±6,084m² across two adjoining erven (±12,384m²), comprising a ±4,570m² temperature-controlled warehouse with freezer and chiller rooms (currently vacant) and a ±1,514m² office building. The warehouse offers 2,000–2,300 pallet positions, an internal height of ±8m, five refrigerated dock levellers, and a superlink-compatible hardstand yard. A 2 MVA power supply and 855 KVA backup generator make this facility truly resilient. The first-floor office suite is currently let to Choppies HQ, generating approximately R674,100 in annual income.
Life Renal Dialysis - Sasolburg & Vereeniging
Two healthcare investment opportunities are included in Broll’s April catalogue, both tenanted by Life Renal Dialysis - a division of the nationally respected Life Healthcare Group. These assets offer investors the defensive income profile and resilient occupancy that healthcare real estate is renowned for.
The Sasolburg property offers 370m² of purpose-fitted dialysis facilities on a 991m² stand, with a lease in place until September 2027 and a net annual income of approximately R1.1 million. Its sister property at 34A Kruger Avenue in Vereeniging Central provides a 351m² facility on an equivalent 991m² erf, with a lease running to July 2027 and an identical NAI of approximately R1.1 million. Both properties are well-maintained with ample parking in established medical precincts.
Multi-Tenanted Retail & Medical Investment - Vanderbijlpark
Positioned on Frikkie Meyer Boulevard in Vanderbijlpark, this fully let neighbourhood retail and medical centre offers investors a diversified income stream across a 1,500m² GLA on a 3,029m² erf.
The tenant mix is deliberately service-based. A supermarket anchors the retail offering, supported by a takeaway, a fully operational pharmacy with dispensary and consulting room, and two separate medical practices. A vacant adjoining building with roller shutter doors and its own entrance provides a tangible value-add opportunity for additional retail tenants, storage, or expanded medical suites.
The Gardees Arcade - Johannesburg CBD, Marshalltown
For investors with a penchant for value-add CBD opportunities, The Gardees Arcade at 33 Helen Joseph Street in Marshalltown is a prime corner asset in the heart of Johannesburg's city centre.
The building offers a GLA of ±2,895m² on a 1,516m² erf, combining approximately 24 ground-floor retail shops with approximately 34 residential units above - a mixed-use formula that delivers diversified income across two asset classes. The property is fully let at market-related rentals and benefits from strong pedestrian traffic, excellent public transport access, and the inherent visibility of its prominent corner position.
Equestrian Lifestyle Farm - Vredenburg, West Coast
A magnificent 38-hectare equestrian lifestyle farm in Vredenburg on the Western Cape's scenic West Coast with views of Saldanha Bay and Langebaan is this month’s crown lifestyle offering.
The main residence is elegantly designed with four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private en-suite master suite, a TV lounge with bar, and an open-plan living area flowing directly onto a covered entertainment patio and heated swimming pool. Equestrian infrastructure is exceptional: four stables with tack room, a six-horse paddock, a large indoor arena capable of accommodating an additional ten stable bays, a full-size dressage arena, and a show jumping arena. Electric fencing, automated access, and a comprehensive security system complete the offering.
Auctions remain one of the most efficient mechanisms for establishing true market value in commercial property. For sellers, the process delivers certainty, speed, and a competitive environment that maximises price. For buyers, it provides a transparent, level playing field with defined timelines and no opaque negotiations.
