POA | warehouse property to rent in cato ridge

This AAA Grade, high volume, food grade distribution warehouse is available for lease in Cato Ridge. Cato Ridge is 56 kms from all major Durban Port entrances. Most importantly it is available immediately for lease. Today it is ready for your business to begin operations. There is an acute shortage of warehousing in the Southern Basin of Durban close to the Port. Rental rates are comparably higher closer to the Port due to a trade off with transport costs. Cross haul rates from Cato Ridge to the Container Terminal are higher than in Zones 1 to 3. However, acute shortage of warehousing, yard space and the unavailability of space for truck staging make this facility in Cato Ridge a cost benefit analysis. Close proximity to the N3 corridor and a congestion free haul to and from all major inland Ports, cross border mines and agricultural storage facilities have created the opportunity to distribute from the industrial node of Cato Ridge. The property is 20 hectares in extent with a further option to develop another 20 hectare site adjacent to the facility. Hence expansion is possible in the future without needing to relocate. The warehouse, offices and ablutions total 32 355 sqm in total GLA. The yard space is just under 20 000 sqm. The property has been carefully designed to optimize supply chain efficiency. The warehouse height is 22m to eaves and offers under cover loading, off loading, on grade roller shutter doors and multiple dock levellers. The entire facility is equipped with state of the art security and a robust perimeter walls. There are five guard houses with CCTV surveillance throughout. There is 1000amps of 3 phase power available on site and an 800 kva backup generator. The building has a green star rating and energy efficiency created throughout.
