Growthpoint Properties Limited has added its substantial weight to developing the superbly located Midrand Central Business Park. Working with experienced industrial developers Dickinson Projects, Growthpoint now owns this secure business estate, which is ready to begin construction.

Engelbert Binedell, Growthpoint Properties Industrial Division Head, says: "Industrial property is performing rather well in the present market. We're pleased to be working with Dickinson Projects on Midrand Central Business Park. This quality, modern industrial development is conveniently situated between Johannesburg and Pretoria in a popular business area which is attractive to many companies especially those running warehousing, distribution and logistics facilities."

Growthpoint Properties is the largest South African listed property company with property assets valued over R50 billion found throughout South Africa. Its industrial property portfolio comprises 223 properties countrywide.

At the heart of a new wave of industrial development in Gauteng, Midrand Central Business Park offers a unique development proposition. "Midrand Central Business Park provides quick development turn-around in a prime location in one of the fastest growing business nodes in Southern Africa," says Grant Dickinson of Dickinson Projects.

With the planning and rights in place, electricity secured and services installed, as well as the distinct advantage gained from the combined forces of a leading property owner and successful development team, Midrand Central Business Park provides market-ready industrial and business space tailored to clients' size and operational needs.

The 60,000sqm site provides development potential for around 26,000sqm of quality business space in a safe, park-like environment. The modern design of Midrand Central Business Park allows flexible design options for its buildings, starting from 2,500sqm.

"This means we can custom-design buildings for clients, creating the ideal mix of office, warehouse, manufacturing and showroom spaces," says Joanne Scott of Growthpoint Properties Industrial Division. "A made-to-measure development at Midrand Central Business Park also provides excellent timelines to execution."

Strategically positioned at the Allandale Interchange from the N1 highway, Midrand Central Business Park enjoys exceptional access. It also provides excellent signage opportunities on its prominent frontage to the K101 main arterial.

This secure business estate, which features access control, CCTV monitoring and guardhouse, also provides large yard space for easy reticulation and docking and driving access. The business park offers generous parking for employees and visitors. Development at Midrand Central Business Park will be demand driven.

Efficiency initiatives at Midrand Central Business Park provide the long-term benefit of reduced working costs for business. To maximise the layout and height of storage space, units can have roof sprinklers to allow for racking.

"Midrand Central Business Park allows us to work with an excellent development partner and provide our clients with buildings that meet their needs for well-positioned, modern, cost-saving business space that can be customised to their unique requirements," says Binedell.
