Shongweni Kennels | 2 Cliffdale Road | Assagay / Hillcrest

Business Park Zoned Land & Development Opportunity – Available Now

This site at 2 Cliffdale Road in Assagay, Hillcrest is one of the few parcels in the Upper Highway corridor already zoned Business Park, making it a straight-forward development play for either a single large user or a phased sectional-title park. Positioned right on the M13 highway, with direct exposure to thousands of passing vehicles daily, the property combines strong visibility with excellent commuter convenience. Cliffdale Road connects directly onto Kassier Road and the Hillcrest commercial strip, while the N3 interchange is just a few minutes further west.

The full property is just under 14,000m², but purchasers have the option to acquire the whole site or split the land between the Western Portion (±4,769m²) and the Eastern Portion (±9,228m²). Each side can stand alone, with good road frontage and depth to accommodate warehouse bays, showrooms, or light-industrial units with easy access to the new N3 offramp within 100m. Importantly, the land is clean and developable, fairly level, not within a flood line, and already supported by surrounding business park-style improvements. This removes some of the common headaches developers face when tackling raw land.

A unique aspect here is the long-running kennel and cattery business currently on site. The sellers are flexible, a developer can acquire the land only, or take the land together with the operating business. That gives an unusual advantage: income potential during planning and service installation phases. For developers who want to stage construction, having an ongoing revenue stream on day one can help soften holding costs.

The area itself is undergoing rapid evolution. The Westown mixed-use precinct is rolling out just down the road in Shongweni, anchored by Westown Square retail and a planned business park of its own. Add to that Hillcrest’s already solid commercial base — Hillcrest Corner Shopping Centre, Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital, and daily conveniences like retail, schools, and housing — and you have a location that ticks both the tenant and employee boxes. There’s also lifestyle draw: the Shongweni Farmers Market, Shongweni Club, and equestrian estates give the node a steady weekend and leisure trade.

For developers, this is one of those rare small-to-medium plots where the zoning is done, the market is there, and the exposure is unbeatable. Whether the plan is sectional-title mini units, freehold warehousing, or a hybrid park with customer-facing showrooms on the highway edge, the site is flexible enough to accommodate. With demand in the Outer West steadily growing, and Hillcrest retaining its pull as Durban’s upper income suburban hub, the timing feels right to move.
