Offices and shops for sale in Cité El Khadhra

Buying your premises rather than paying rent: that is the calculation many practices, small companies and traders long settled in Cité El Khadhra make. The delegation offers two very different markets. On one side, the office floors of avenue Kheireddine Pacha, in recent buildings designed for the service sector. On the other, the ground-floor units of Cité El Khadhra and Cité Olympique, bought by local traders or by investors seeking rental income.

The listings on this page are posted by owners and agencies, and supply remains limited from week to week: a well-placed office does not come up for resale often. To compare with El Menzah, Montplaisir or the city centre, all the offices and shops for sale in Tunis governorate are gathered on one page.

Office floors: what sells on Kheireddine Pacha

Office sales on Khaireddine Pacha mostly concern units of 60 to 250 m² in buildings of five to eight storeys, largely built in the 2000s. Some units sell bare, others with their partitions, air conditioning and suspended ceiling, which noticeably changes the budget needed to get up and running. Buyers are professionals who want to stop renting, family businesses and investors buying an office already occupied by a tenant.

Prices per square metre often sit below those of Le Lac, with a gap that depends on the age of the building, the floor and above all parking. An office without an allocated space is harder to resell: in this area, the parking question comes up at every viewing.

Shop premises and neighbourhood units

On the Cité El Khadhra and Cité Olympique side, the typical property is a commercial unit for sale at the foot of a building from the 1960s or 1970s, of 30 to 100 m², sometimes with a back room or a mezzanine. It appeals to the craftsman or trader already renting the space who wants to buy it, or to the investor seeking a stable rent with a pharmacy, bakery or grocery in place.

A unit that is already let is sold with its lease. Ask for the current contract, its expiry date, the rent actually paid and the history of late payments. An old commercial lease with a low rent can push the price down, but can also make the unit hard to vacate if you plan to occupy it yourself.

Checks before signing

Co-ownership first: in an office building, the rules set the use of the units, the split of service charges and sometimes the signs allowed on the facade. Ask for the latest general meeting minutes and the amount of any unpaid charges. In the old buildings of Cité El Khadhra, building management is often informal, and facade or waterproofing works are decided between neighbours.

The title next: an office unit must have its own individual land title. In some older buildings, the units were never split and the deed covers a share, which complicates a bank loan. Have a notary or lawyer check the situation at the land registry, the building permit and whether commercial use complies with the development plan.

Buy to let, or rent to test

An investor will weigh the yield: a well-located office floor lets to service companies with little vacancy, while a neighbourhood unit depends on the health of a single business. Before buying, look at the offices and shops for rent in Cité El Khadhra to gauge going rents and how long listings stay online.
