Galetti Commercial Real Estatehas launched its 2026 auction year with a coordinated national programme anchored by three live auctions in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, bringing property opportunities from across South Africa onto a single auction platform. The opening of the auction year follows a strong previous cycle for the group, during which Galetti concluded just under R1.7bn in property transactions, reinforcing auctions as a credible and effective route to market across commercial, industrial, residential and development asset classes. Commenting on the launch of the 2026 auction programme, Galetti MD Wesley Cowan explains that the three-city format reflects both market maturity and renewed confidence.
“The intention with the 2026 kick-off was not to be overly aggressive, but rather to present a nationally representative catalogue that reflects where the market genuinely is,” says Cowan. “Running three auctions across Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town [this February] allows us to cover the country while still respecting the regional nuances of each market.” Beyond the three primary auction centres, the national catalogue also includes industrial and commercial properties in the Eastern Cape, with listings in East London and Komani further extending the geographic reach of the auction programme.

A retail and fuel station property in Brits Central further strengthens the catalogue, supported by long-term lease fundamentals and prominent positioning. Cowan says Gauteng continues to reward pricing discipline and functional assets.
