The R578 million new development will comprise approximately 38,600m² of gross lettable area across nine maxi-units, offering flexible, future-focused space for logistics, distribution and light industrial occupiers.

Growthpoint identified the significant redevelopment opportunity for this site after PPC decided to move operations to its Riebeek Valley facility. Construction will commence in May 2026, and will be ready for occupancy from before the third quarter of 2027. The first step on site will be the demolition of the landmark PPC cement tower – a longstanding feature on the skyline, visible from as far as the N1 highway – paving the way for a new-generation logistics park.

 “Opportunities to secure and repurpose well-located industrial land in the high-demand Montague Gardens area are increasingly scarce. This development allows us to deliver a high-quality logistics park in a proven node where tenant demand consistently outstrips supply,” says Jason Reeves, Growthpoint’s Head of Asset Management for Logistics and Industrial Property.

Montague Gardens remains one of Cape Town’s most sought-after industrial nodes, benefitting from its central location and access to major arterial routes, including the N7, M5, M8, N1 and N2. From this position, occupiers can efficiently service the greater Cape Town metro, surrounding suburbs, port terminals and Cape Town International Airport, as well as regional and long-haul distribution routes.

Wouter de Vos, Growthpoint’s Regional Head: Western Cape, says location remains a decisive factor for tenants. “Montague Gardens offers an established industrial ecosystem, proximity to residential areas for workforce accessibility and excellent connectivity to the region’s primary transport routes. Indlovu Logistics Park will leverage these advantages while providing modern facilities that meet today’s occupier expectations.”

Reeves adds that the development has been designed with both current occupier requirements and long-term flexibility in mind. “We are seeing strong demand for facilities that combine generous yard areas, efficient loading, good power supply and quality office components, while also incorporating sustainability features that help tenants manage operating costs and environmental impact.”

Indlovu Logistics Park will consist of nine maxi-units ranging from around 3,900m² to 4,600m², each combining warehouse and office components. The buildings will feature nine-metre eaves height, FM2 power-floated floors with a 50kPa load-bearing capacity, high-lift sectional dock doors, heavy-duty dock levellers and a minimum 32-metre yard depth to support efficient vehicle movement and goods handling. Five-metre-deep canopies over all dock doors will provide weather-protected loading and offloading.

Sustainability forms a key part of the development approach. Rooftop solar PV is integrated into the development. Natural light will be introduced through translucent sheeting along vertical warehouse surfaces.
