Parkmore, Sandton
Parkmore is a well-established and highly sought-after suburb located directly adjacent to Sandton Central, forming part of Johannesburg North’s most important commercial and financial corridor. While primarily residential in nature, the suburb plays a strong supporting role to the Sandton CBD due to its proximity, accessibility, and growing concentration of small-scale commercial and professional service activity.
The area is characterized by freestanding homes, renovated residential properties, and increasing pockets of converted office space and boutique commercial premises. In recent years, parts of Parkmore have seen gradual commercial uplift, with residential properties along key routes being adapted for professional offices, consulting firms, design studios, and service-based businesses that benefit from proximity to Sandton without occupying high-rise CBD space.
Parkmore’s greatest advantage is its immediate adjacency to Sandton Central, the country’s leading financial and corporate hub. This allows businesses and residents to access major banks, multinational headquarters, legal firms, and consulting companies within minutes, making it one of the most conveniently located suburbs in Johannesburg.
A key landmark and anchor of the surrounding commercial ecosystem is the world-renowned Sandton City, which, together with the broader Sandton CBD, forms the dominant economic center of South Africa. This proximity reinforces Parkmore’s appeal for professionals working in high-density corporate environments.
Although Parkmore is not a large-scale commercial node, it benefits from spillover demand from Sandton Central and surrounding business districts such as Bryanston, Morningside, and Illovo. This has led to increased interest in smaller office spaces, consulting suites, and mixed-use conversions along accessible routes.

While Parkmore itself is predominantly residential, its edge-of-CBD positioning has led to a gradual increase in small-scale commercial activity, particularly along main roads where accessibility and visibility are high. This includes professional services, medical suites, boutique agencies, and home-office conversions.
The surrounding environment offers exceptional lifestyle convenience, with proximity to Sandton’s retail centers, restaurants, gyms, hotels, and conferencing facilities. This enhances its appeal for professionals seeking short commute times and strong urban amenities.
