Claremont business node has become a well-known location for professionals to live and work. The suburb is a perfect mix of commercial and residential with many apartment buildings and commercial developments. Current businesses include retail situated in the Cavendish Mall and MontClare, as well as high street shopping on Main Road. Commercial businesses included labour consulting services, information technology experts, training and development services, taxation specialists, accountants and financial planners. In addition, there are many asset management houses, motor industries and grooming businesses. The abundance of businesses make the suburb a good candidate for new start-ups or pre-city tenants who are looking for a more centralized business node. The world renowned Arderne Gardens provides an oasis and the Claremont CID ensures that the area is safe, secure and clean.

One of the main benefits of living and working in Claremont is the range of services within the node, including the educational institutions for growing families. It is the one missing aspect of the city centre. The other benefit comes from encasing the “live, work and play” concept that many try to achieve. Claremont certainly provides all three.
