If your brief reads “big, simple, works,” this is it. A clean, 32,355m² distribution centre on Eddie Hagen Drive with proper superlink flow, real power (>1,000 amps, 3-phase), and the kind of access that keeps fleets on schedule. You’re on the N3 freight corridor — 62km to Durban Harbour, 25km to Pietermaritzburg — so linehaul, port runs, and regional distribution all click into place.
Why this facility makes life easier
You get multiple dock levellers and roller doors, covered loading canopies for wet days, generous yards for turning and staging, and a full sprinkler system. Security is on-site, the finishes are tidy, and there are ±200 parking bays so drivers and staff aren’t hunting for space. Clear height is 10m, which balances racking efficiency with safe, quick handling.
