Bole is one of the busiest and most desired areas in Addis Ababa. It is filled with banks, restaurants, stores, clinics, offices, and more. Because of this, many people want to rent commercial space there. But today, it is becoming very difficult to find shops or offices for rent in Bole.
The Problem: Not Enough Rental Space
Every week, many people ask about renting in Bole. They want their business to be in a visible, central, and high-traffic location. But the truth is, there just aren’t enough spaces. When one becomes available, it is rented very fast. Sometimes, there is even a waiting list.
Why is this happening? First, there is not much new construction of commercial buildings in Bole. Second, land is limited and very expensive. Finally, the demand keeps growing because everyone wants to be in this popular area. All these reasons make rental space hard to find and more expensive.
Today, shops and offices in Bole are rented at very high prices. Landlords can charge more because they know businesses will pay. If you want to rent, you must act quickly and pay a lot.
The Opportunity: Buying Commercial Space in Bole
While renters are struggling, this creates a big opportunity for investors. If you buy a shop or office in Bole, you can earn good rent income. You will also have strong demand because people are always looking for space. And in the long term, your property value will likely go up.
In a market like Bole, owning is better than renting. You control the space, set your own prices, and benefit from the high demand. It’s not just a purchase — it’s an investment.
