Building Description

Whetstone Business Park – Landmark Development Land Near King Shaka Airport

Whetstone Business Park isn’t just another commercial precinct—it’s one of the largest privately-owned land holdings next to King Shaka International Airport, and it’s gearing up to be a game-changer for development in KwaZulu-Natal.

Spanning a massive 815,000 sqm, this prime land has been carefully subdivided with a plan to deliver around 600,000 sqm of fully platformed space. Zoned for a mix of commercial, light industrial, and hospitality uses, this site sits within the heart of the Dube Aerotropolis—just off the R102 and Old Main Road, and right on the doorstep of the SEZ. That proximity alone makes it a standout choice for developers with a long-term view.

Infrastructure upgrades in the area, originally done ahead of the World Cup, have laid a solid foundation—literally—for high-capacity logistics, warehousing, and high-traffic businesses like service stations or hotels. And with completion on the cards around 2027, there's still time to plan, phase, and secure your spot in what’s fast becoming the province’s new logistics and commercial hub.

At a glance:

  • 815,000 sqm total landholding

  • Approx. 600,000 sqm of platformed land planned

  • Total projected development value: R6.6 billion

  • Located along R102 and Old Main Road, minutes from King Shaka Airport

  • Adjacent to the Dube TradePort SEZ and Aerotropolis precinct

  • Zoned for mixed use: warehousing, logistics, retail, fuel, hotel, office, and light industry

This is one of the few opportunities of its scale and location left on the North Coast. Whether you're looking to establish large-scale warehousing, a branded fuel station, or anchor retail and hospitality offerings, Whetstone offers flexibility and scale in a market that’s getting tighter by the year.
