Indlovu Logistics Park drives industrial growth shift

• R578m logistics park targets high-demand Montague Gardens node
• Growthpoint increases Western Cape exposure to logistics sector
• Modern, flexible units designed for evolving tenant demand

Industrial property: where the smart money is moving‍

Industrial and logistics property continues to outperform and for good reason. 

As e-commerce, distribution networks, and supply chain efficiency become more critical, demand for well-located, high-spec logistics space is accelerating. Investors are shifting capital toward assets that deliver:

• Stable, long-term tenants
• Strong occupancy levels
• Resilient income streams

Growthpoint Properties is leaning directly into this trend with the launch of Indlovu Logistics Park in Cape Town.

Introducing Indlovu Logistics Park‍

Indlovu Logistics Park is a next-generation industrial development located in Montague Gardens, one of Cape Town’s most established and sought-after industrial nodes.

The R578 million project will transform the former PPC site into a modern logistics precinct, aligning with Growthpoint’s strategy to increase exposure to high-growth sectors and regions—particularly logistics and the Western Cape.

Construction is set to begin in May 2026, with completion expected ahead of Q3 2027.

Why this development matters‍

This is not just a redevelopment, it’s a strategic repositioning.
Growthpoint has identified: 

• Scarcity of well-located industrial land
• Rising tenant demand for modern logistics space
• Long-term growth potential in Cape Town

‍

Jason Reeves, Growthpoint’s Head of Asset Management for Logistics and Industrial Property, explains: “Opportunities to secure and repurpose well-located industrial land in Montague Gardens are increasingly scarce. Demand consistently outstrips supply.”

‍

That imbalance is exactly what drives rental growth and investor returns.

Designed for modern logistics demand‍

Indlovu Logistics Park will deliver approximately 38,600m² of gross lettable area across nine flexible maxi-units. 

Each unit is designed to meet current and future tenant requirements:

• Sizes from ±3,900m² to 4,600m²
• Ability to combine units up to ±38,000m²
• Nine-metre eaves height
• 32-metre yard depth for efficient logistics flow
• High-spec loading infrastructure and dock levellers

This is not generic industrial, it’s purpose-built logistics infrastructure.

Location: the ultimate advantage

Montague Gardens remains one of Cape Town’s strongest industrial nodes due to:

• Central positioning within the metro
• Access to N1, N2, N7 and key arterial routes
• Proximity to port terminals and Cape Town International Airport
• Accessibility for workforce from surrounding residential areas

‍

Wouter de Vos, Growthpoint’s Regional Head: Western Cape, highlights this: “Location remains decisive. Montague Gardens offers connectivity, an established ecosystem, and access to key transport routes.”

‍

In industrial property, location is not a feature, it’s the investment thesis.

Sustainability and efficiency built in‍

Modern tenants are no longer just looking for space, they’re looking for cost efficiency and sustainability. Indlovu integrates: 

• Rooftop solar PV
• Natural light optimisation
• Energy-efficient LED lighting
• Water harvesting and backup systems

These features reduce operating costs and improve long-term tenant retention, key drivers of asset performance.

Security, infrastructure and scalability‍

The park is designed for institutional-grade tenants:

• 24-hour security with CCTV and access control
• Fibre connectivity
• High power supply (250A three-phase)
• Full sprinkler compliance

Combined with scalable unit configurations, this allows the development to cater to:

• Logistics operators
• Distributors
• Manufacturers
• Wholesalers

Industrial delivers

Indlovu Logistics Park reflects exactly where industrial property is heading:

• Fewer, better-located sites
• Higher-spec, flexible buildings
• Strong alignment with logistics and supply chain demand
• Integrated sustainability and cost-efficiency

Growthpoint’s move is clear: double down on sectors that deliver consistent, long-term growth.

For investors, the message is even clearer: Industrial is no longer the quiet performer, it’s becoming the core of modern property portfolios.
