Property Description
Occupying Erven 323, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333 and 334, this substantial industrial holding comprises a large interconnected warehouse complex with supporting office and operational facilities in the established industrial precinct of Newtown. According to the supplied building plans, the property extends over a site area of approximately 6,808 m² and provides approximately 5,821 m² of ground-floor warehousing together with 547 m² of warehouse mezzanine space, resulting in a combined warehouse gross building area of approximately 6,368 m². In addition, a further 317 m² of mezzanine office accommodation is reflected in the area schedule.
The improvements comprise steel-framed warehouse structures with steel columns and roof trusses supporting pitched industrial roofing. External walls are primarily masonry construction, while raised roof sections facilitate natural ventilation and improved operational functionality. The various warehouse sections are internally interconnected, creating a flexible industrial facility suited to storage, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, and materials-handling operations. Warehouse access is provided via multiple roller-shutter doors positioned around the complex, allowing for efficient loading and dispatch operations. Internal circulation between warehouse sections enhances workflow efficiency and operational flexibility.
The facility benefits from generous internal clearances, with eaves heights ranging from approximately 7.9 metres in the lower warehouse sections to approximately 10 metres in the highest sections, providing excellent vertical capacity for racking systems, bulk storage, and specialised industrial uses. The property enjoys exposure and access from Barney Simon Road, Goch Street, and Rahima Moosa Street, with multiple entry points serving the complex. Ancillary improvements include administrative offices, ablution facilities, former kitchen areas, a plant room, and various service areas supporting day-to-day industrial operations.
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial industrial asset in a strategically located inner-city logistics and industrial node, offering significant accommodation suitable for warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, and related commercial activities, subject to applicable zoning provisions and municipal approvals.
