Category Upper Highway General
In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity! (Albert Einstein)
Warehousing, logistics and manufacturing companies operating in the greater Durban area don't need to look further than Hammarsdale and Cato Ridge in the Outer West, along the N3 Corridor.
This area offers the following immediate solutions:-
- Well priced Warehousing space with sizes between 2500m2 & 6000m2, available immediately for overflow storage requirements.
- Looking to reduce future costs - This area offers great value with warehousing and factory space available from R35/m2.
- Improve efficiency - Great access onto the N3, opening the gateway to the heart of South Africa as well as the rest of Southern Africa. Access has been enhanced with the completion of the new Hammarsdale Interchange and will be further improved with the proposed upgrades to the N3 and the new Cato Ridge interchange.
- Ideal location to service the increased demand for online sales and distribution services.
- Looking for best value vacant industrial land for your new development? With prices from R300 - R1650/m2 there are great opportunities and you are unlikely to find better value in the greater Durban area. There are also opportunities that aren't yet zoned but have the potential for future rezoning at prices from R50 - R150/m2.
- Lower electricity prices - Direct from Eskom.
The area has the following additional advantages:-
- Close to the proposed new Intermodal Hub / Dry Port - Planning is now in a very advanced stage and the trial system operational. Further construction is to commence soon!
- Prime opportunities in Keystone Logistics Park alongside Mr Price, Ackermans and Pepkor, amongst others.
- Smaller warehousing, logistics and manufacturing units within well established and secured industrial parks.
- Abundant resource of labour and semi-skilled staff available in the area.
- Only 15 minutes away from Hillcrest and even closer to Alverstone and Drummond.
- Safety - Speak to any of the existing Tenants or Landowners in the area and they will tell you that they feel far safer in this area than in many of the other industrial areas including Pinetown or Westmead.
Now is the right time to take advantage of these opportunities.
