Growthpoint development offers green industrial space

The R150m Greenfield Industrial Park is the landmark redevelopment of the former Wasteman site. It will benefit the entire area by introducing an upmarket, efficient industrial property to the site. And, true to its name, it will provide innovative green industrial space as part of its leading, sustainable development.

Greenfield Industrial Park is well situated in the high-demand Airport Industrial node, on Manchester Road, adjacent to Borcherds Quarry interchange and Airport Approach Road. It is positioned for easy access with good proximity to the N2 highway, for both north- and south-bound routes. It also benefits from excellent visibility with prominent signage opportunities.

"We are extremely positive about the Airport Industria node. Greenfield Industrial Park will bring to market a prime industrial property in a growing business hub with proven strong demand," Riaan Munnik, development manager at Growthpoint Properties, comments.

Single large user

Greenfield Industrial Park includes 21,000m² of flexible, sub-divisible space, intended to meet the needs of modern business. Ideal for a single large user, the design of Greenfield Industrial Park can also be tailored to client needs with multiple units starting from around 3,500m². It features internal stacking heights of 12 metres, and Growthpoint is providing fully-finished office components as well as a tenant allowance for clients to use as required.
The Greenfield Industrial Park site is designed for efficiency, including optimal use of warehousing, yard area and roadways. The park includes two entrances and exits, and features generous parking facilities.

It has also been designed with sustainability in mind, with positive environmental innovations so significant that Growthpoint is in the process of registering for a Green Star SA - Custom Industrial Rating Tool with the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA). The building is targeting a 4-Star Green Star SA rating.

Cost saving features

Integrated features to reduce utilities costs at Greenfield Industrial Park include alternative energy from solar panels, water-wise landscaping, well points, waterless urinals, and recycling. Greenfield Industrial Park will also feature low-energy light fittings that complement its smart design, which uses natural light to save on lighting costs.

"We are extremely excited that Greenfield Industrial Park is in the process of getting registered with the GBCSA for a Green Star SA Custom Industrial rating, and pleased to be part of setting new benchmarks in sustainability for this sector," remarks Munnik.

Stefanutti Stocks is the appointed contractor for the development. "This respected team will add their excellent track record and high level of health and safety standards to the quality development of Greenfield Industrial Park," says Munnik.
