Light industrial development for South Coast

A key feature for business owners is that the land has commercial and light industrial zoning, including retail rights, with the modules being built from 50sqm upwards in size, depending on the client's requirements. A mezzanine floor can be added as the modules are double volume, making it convenient for businesses to have their showroom and factory on the same premises.

"A gap in the market for a light industrial development such as this was identified by local developers, Erich and Marlene Bense, owners of Fawlty Towers Trading, following numerous enquiries from business owners wishing to settle in the area who found no suitable facilities available to cater for them," says Dina Porteous, area principal for Pam Golding Properties.

Says Herman Botha-Bosch, sales manager for Pam Golding Properties Margate: "While aimed at upmarket clients, this project is competitively priced at approximately R6000 per square metre. The modules will be sold as sectional title units or alternatively can be leased. Investors can expect the same high standard as the many developments previously built by this company, which prides itself on going the extra mile to ensure quality workmanship."

The developers expect to start taking offers from January 2010 and building is estimated to be completed by December the same year.

MTN has already snapped up the opportunity to invest into Shelly Beach's hub of development and its soon-to-be-built, R250 million MTN call centre will neighbour Shelly Junction.
