31 Martin Hammerschlag

31 Martin Hammerschlag is a small mixed-use building, part retail and part office, in the Foreshore area of Cape Town, South Africa. It is listed on the website of Ingenuity Property Investments, a property investment company with offices in Claremont, Cape Town. The company's own page gives a lettable area of 1 489 m², 40 parking bays and a "B Grade" building rating.

Where the building is

The address published by Ingenuity Property on the building's page is "31 Martin Hammerschlag, Foreshore, Cape Town". The description on the same page refers to "Martin Hammerschlag Way", so the road is a "Way", not a "Street" as it is sometimes typed into search engines. The company describes the property as a "boutique building in the heart of the Foreshore". It does not publish a map, GPS coordinates, or any information about public transport or distances to other parts of the city.

• Lettable area (GLA): 1 489 m², according to Ingenuity Property's page.

Who is behind the building

Ingenuity describes itself as a property investment company whose core strategic focus is to acquire and develop or redevelop properties within the Western Cape region. On its website, 31 Martin Hammerschlag sits under "Investment Properties", not under "Current & Future Developments". The building's page does not say whether the company built the property, bought it or redeveloped it, and it does not spell out the company's exact role (owner, manager or landlord).

What is not published

• Dates: there is no year of construction, no completion date and no construction progress report. The "2020" that appears on the company's website is in the footer, next to the company name, and does not refer to the building.
• Rents, service charges, prices: no amounts are shown.
• Availability: the building's page does not mention any vacant unit. The website has a separate "Vacancy Schedule" section.
• Floor-by-floor detail: the total number of floors, the size of each unit and the type of parking (covered or open, allocated or shared) are not given.
• Tenants: Auto Pedigree is the only occupier named.
