Commercial to rent
Enjoy Florida Road's all-day, all-night energy opposite Gordon Road Park — 162m² restaurant-ready shopfront with commercial kitchen and cold room; two bathrooms included.
There are addresses on Florida Road that simply command attention. This is one of them.
A 162 square metre commercial shopfront nestled between La Maison and Miami Times - with Kauai, Capello, and NY Slice as immediate neighbours, Gordon Road Park directly across the street, and the kind of all-day, all-night foot traffic that Florida Road has delivered consistently for decades.
For the restaurateur, the retailer, or the visionary operator who understands that location is not simply where you are - it is who you are seen with - this address requires no further argument.
R65,000 per month excluding VAT. Operations costs included.
Available immediately to the right operator.
Tis is 162 square metres of pure commercial possibility.
The moment you step through the massive floor-to-ceiling wooden front doors, the scale of the opportunity announces itself. A beautiful glass facade - floor to ceiling - places your business in direct visual conversation with Florida Road before a single customer crosses the threshold. The interior is fully tiled. The presentation is immediately professional.
The kitchen infrastructure is the detail that separates this space from every other Florida Road shopfront. A super-spacious kitchen with a commercial extractor already in place. A cold room - the asset most food operators spend their first year wishing they had. Full washing facilities, tiled from floor to ceiling. The back-of-house foundation that allows a serious food operation to function at volume from the day it opens.
The space is configured primarily for a restaurant or eatery - and the infrastructure supports exactly that. But the floor plan also accommodates a hybrid model - a retail front-end integrated with a café or eatery at the rear - for the operator whose concept bridges both categories.
Ample roadside parking. All-day security and night patrols. Less than 100 metres from the 9th Avenue Shell garage and the corner of Gordon Road and Florida Road - one of the highest foot-traffic intersections in the Morningside precinct.
Florida Road needs no introduction to anyone who understands Durban`s lifestyle economy.
This specific position - between La Maison and Miami Times, directly across from Gordon Road Park, steps from the Gordon Road corner - is one of the most visible and highest-traffic frontages on the entire strip. The daytime crowd from the park, the office professionals, the residents of Morningside and Musgrave who make Florida Road their daily ritual - all of them pass this door.
At night the foot traffic does not stop. It shifts. The dinner crowd, the late-night food seekers, the social energy that has made Florida Road Durban`s most enduring entertainment precinct - all of it flows past this address every evening without exception.
This is not a location you market. It is a location that markets you.
