A vibrant non-traditional industrial park, Growthpoint Industrial Estate is a secure industrial, warehousing and distribution estate situated in the established and well-performing Route 24 industrial business node in Meadowdale, Gauteng. The estate offers excellent access to motorways and is in close proximity to OR Tambo International Airport.

Making this new industrial development remarkable is its quality premises and indigenous landscaping and planting which create an aesthetically pleasing environment, more often associated with upscale office parks. This provides a pleasant, healthy and environmentally-respectful business environment.

Designed for the small to medium user, the high-quality mini- and midi units were built with flexibility in mind. Suitable for a diversity of businesses, premises can be as small as 200sqm or consolidated to meet larger tenant requirements.

“Take up of the mini-units is positive and a strong level of enquiries is being experienced,” says Engelbert Binedell, Growthpoint Properties Divisional Director Industrial.

Binedell explains that the mini- and midi- units are ideal for entrepreneurs wishing to formalise their businesses, growing businesses or those wishing to enhance the convenience or quality of their location.

Combining affordability and functionality, each unit provides superior height with the ability to stack in access of industry standards and includes a mezzanine level which is ideal for an office component.

Occupational Health and Safety requirements were critical to the design process. “The flexibility to tailor-make customised premises to meet individual business needs is a huge advantage,” says Binedell. In a number of units both on-grade entry and docking facilities are included.

“The ability and resources which Growthpoint has in place to execute the custom preparation of the quality space for our clients is proving to be a draw card for Growthpoint Industrial Estate,” explains Leon Labuschagne of Growthpoint Properties developments.

“Growthpoint’s specialist construction, design and utilities services are made available to our clients who enjoy full consultation during the tenant fit out process. This results in a purpose-designed quality premises,” notes Labuschagne.

Providing secure, 24-hour controlled access the mini- and midi-units at Growthpoint Industrial Estate can accommodate a full range of users up to 4,000sqm.

Amongst the estate’s existing larger users is Barloworld Logistics in a tailor-made warehousing facility of 17,000sqm, which includes a 16,000sqm warehouse. Leading cosmetic and beauty brand Justin/Avon is also located in a 12,000sqm high-tech facility at Growthpoint Industrial Estate.

The estate will comprise some 125,000sqm of industrial space when fully developed. This equates to a further 78,000sqm of potential bulk on which 10,000sqm has been earmarked for development in the near future.

Growthpoint Industrial Estate is one of the few developable sites of its size and quality along the R24 motorway between Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport. Its location and infrastructure make it ideal for warehousing and logistics companies.
