Salt River at a glance
Salt River is a Cape Town suburb situated between Observatory and Woodstock, north of Devil’s Peak and University Estate. The area has historically been regarded as an industrial suburb with clothing and textile factories, the Lion Match factory and the Snowflake flour mill towers characterising the landscape. The industrial development of the suburb was initially spurred on by the development of the steel and locomotive industry. The proximity to the city business district and harbour made Salt River an ideal area to establish an industrial rail network and hub. For these reasons, Salt River served as the heart of Cape Town’s industrial sector from the early 20th century through to the 1980s. The area’s deindustrialisation has spurred new residential, commercial and industrial developments. However, old buildings such as the Junction Hotel, the Locomotive Hotel and the Bridge Mansions, all regarded as Salt River institutions, still exhibit the historical roots of the suburb. This area is ideally the perfect area to rent , purchase , sell invest or even develop property for either retail, industrial or commercial.
