Chloorkop had been identified as a future industrial growth node by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council a while ago and has since been promoted from a secondary industrial node to a primary one. Its close proximity to a large work force stretching from the Johannesburg to the Pretoria CBD and eastwards toward the logistics-heartland around OR Tambo Airport, has assured continuous high occupation percentages in spite of the recent fluctuations in the South African property environment.
Shorter traveling distances to the populated surrounds has kept transport overheads down and added to higher and sustainable returns for investors.
The well-known and astute developers of the Park, Central Property Developments, identified the shortage of industrial land in the area and, along with the renewed confidence in the local industrial markets, have probably timed their 15 April 2013 launch perfectly.
Recent articles of a positive shift back to industrial developments have been confirmed by early interest and several of these industrial sites are under negotiation.
Proton Industrial Park is a greenfields development and measures 22.5 hectares. Selling from R 595 000, Phase 1 consists of 21 serviced stands varying in size from 1100 to 4445 sqm and is now on the market at R 550 per square metre. This is a special discounted rate for the first three months. The total of 61 Industrial-1 stands will have a FAR of 0.6 and coverage of 60%, with a 3 storey height limit. Ample electricity (7,7MVA) has been secured.
The Park's entrance is in Proton Street with its other main border on Ossewa Street in Chloorkop Ext. 65. It is situated in the centre of the N1, N3 and R21 highways and seamlessly links to them via the Zuurfontein, Modderfontein and Allandale dual carriageways.
Particular attention has been given to the landscaping of open areas, which will ensure an aesthetically pleasing location for the benefit of both occupants and their clientele. Two landscaped storm-water attenuation ponds are being built and a mix of hard landscaping elements such as street furniture and signage together with soft landscaping will form the cornerstone of this development. Parking in excess of Municipal requirements has been provided for in order to keep internal roads clear of congestion.
The important question of security and the entrance into the park will be addressed by 24 hour guards as well as an electrified perimeter fence. Electronic booms and a swipe card access control system at the main entrance will keep record of entrance to and exit from the park, which adds to peace of mind.
The developer will attract local, national and international industrialists by providing top visibility in a prime accessible location, set inside a secure and well-managed environment. The marketing team will present customers with all possible financing options. Tailor made factories or warehouses can be ordered and erected as part of a financed package.
