Property Description
Located on the corner of Macintyre Street in North Doornfontein, this three-storey industrial building offers a rare opportunity for redevelopment or repositioning in an evolving area. Previously used as a warehouse and storage facility, the property consists of three large, open, empty floors with additional space suitable for office use. At the rear of the building there are staff bedrooms, adding further functionality for onsite operations or redevelopment planning. The property includes street parking as well as an indoor garage with space for a few vehicles, making access and logistics convenient for future use. Please note that the building currently has no water or electricity supply and is in need of significant refurbishment. However, with the correct zoning approvals and vision, it presents strong potential for conversion into a modern industrial, mixed-use, or storage facility. This is a true value-add opportunity for developers, investors, or end-users looking to reposition an underutilised industrial asset in a central location.

Area Description
North Doornfontein is an established inner-city suburb of Johannesburg located in Region F of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, situated just east of the Johannesburg CBD in Gauteng Province. The area forms part of the broader Doornfontein precinct, which traces its origins to the 1880s gold rush era and evolved from one of the city’s earliest residential suburbs into a light industrial manufacturing hub from the mid-1930s onwards. Today, North Doornfontein and the surrounding Doornfontein districts host a diverse mix of warehouses, light manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, and repurposed industrial spaces, making the area a recognised hub for commercial and industrial activity in central Johannesburg. The suburb benefits from its proximity to the Maboneng creative precinct, the University of Johannesburg Doornfontein Campus, Ellis Park sports complex, and the M2 highway, providing strong access to the CBD, the eastern suburbs, and Johannesburg’s broader road and rail network. The area is well suited to investors and end-users seeking centrally located industrial assets with redevelopment and value-add potential.
