Modern makeover for legal chambers in Cape Town's CBD

The heart of Cape Town's legal district just got a sophisticated upgrade. A new dedicated legal workspace, Cape Town Collective Legal Chambers, officially launched in May at Wale Street Chambers, bringing contemporary infrastructure and flexible working solutions to an industry long anchored in tradition. The event, attended by Premier Alan Winde, representatives from The Cape Bar, PABASA, AFSA and numerous legal professionals, highlighted a growing appetite for innovation in the legal sector. A keynote by Tim Harris, former Wesgro CEO and current lead of the Mission for Inner City Cape Town (MICCT) set the tone for what the launch represents: not just new offices, but a vision for a rejuvenated city core. Supplied A New Home for Cape Town's Legal Minds Cape Town Collective, the brainchild of property developers Jeffrey Kleu and Josh Carey, offers serviced office space designed specifically for attorneys, advocates, and legal consultants. With 60 private offices, shared boardrooms, high-speed fibre (1 000mbps), concierge services, and on-site amenities like showers and secure parking, the facility is tailored to meet the professional and logistical demands of legal practitioners. Supplied 'This is more than just a building, it's a solution,' said Kleu. 'We've spoken to dozens of legal professionals who all want the same thing: proximity to court, prestige, and none of the overhead and hassle of running their own office.' Supplied From Heritage Buildings to a Legal Powerhouse Located steps from the Western Cape High Court, the seventh-floor chambers are part of a R140 million redevelopment project transforming an entire city block. The initiative, led by Kleu's Klarey Property Group and supported by public and private partners like MICCT and the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID), reflects a broader movement to revitalise the CBD. 'This is a pivotal moment in reimagining the city centre,' said Harris at the launch. 'By reinvesting in these heritage-rich spaces, we're creating a Cape Town that's safer, more functional, and more inclusive.' Adding an artistic touch to the launch was Cape Town and Miami-based muralist Sonny Behan, commissioned to create two signature wall pieces in the chambers. Pause area Supplied A Flexible Future for Legal Work CTC also offers a range of virtual office packages starting at R995 per month, giving professionals a premium address, call-handling, and access to business lounges and boardrooms. Gold-tier clients benefit from up to eight free boardroom hours monthly—designed for advocates who need the infrastructure without the long-term lease. Additional legal-specific perks include: ● Pay-as-you-use court messenger services ● VOIP telephone answering ● Facial recognition security ● Bespoke office furnishings ● An integrated booking portal Redefining Legal Workspaces—One Office at a Time With demand for flexible work on the rise, and a renewed push to restore vibrancy to Cape Town's city centre, the launch of Cape Town Collective's Legal Chambers couldn't come at a better time. 'This isn't just a workspace,' said Carey. 'It's a platform for legal professionals to connect, collaborate, and redefine how they practise law in the 21st century.' For tours, please email hello@
