Growthpoint has completed Phase 2 of Arterial Industrial Estate in Cape Town. This development boosts its logistics holdings and meets rising demand for modern industrial space in the Western Cape.
Growthpoint Properties has completed a significant milestone with the finalization of the Arterial Industrial Estate in Cape Town. This development strengthens their logistics footprint in a high-demand industrial corridor and reinforces a long-term strategy to meet growing tenant requirements in the warehousing and logistics sector.
The Arterial Industrial Estate is strategically positioned in the Airport Industrial node, near Cape Town International Airport and with direct access to the N2. This location offers strong logistical advantages to tenants who rely on both regional distribution and national supply chains. Demand for space in this area has remained high, particularly for facilities that offer a balance between accessibility, functionality, and modern design.
Arterial Industrial Estate
The estate consists of five prime industrial buildings totaling over 23,000 m² of gross lettable area. These units are designed with flexibility in mind, catering to a range of tenant types, including logistics operators, light manufacturers, and storage-based businesses. Key features of the development include large yard areas for truck articulation, high roof heights, and generous loading zones. Each unit is built with energy efficiency and operational cost control as a priority.
Growthpoint’s decision to pursue speculative development at Arterial Industrial Estate was a measured one. Market data consistently showed a lack of quality supply in this location, particularly for users requiring modern logistics infrastructure. The success of this development validates the strategy, with most of the space already leased or under negotiation prior to completion.
Cape Town’s industrial property market remains resilient, with persistent demand for logistics and distribution space. Limited new development and a shortage of suitable land zoned for industrial use continue to push up rentals in prime nodes. Developers like Growthpoint who are able to unlock well-located, functional space are well-positioned to attract quality tenants and secure long-term income growth.
For landlords and occupiers alike, this project is a clear signal of market trends. Tenants are increasingly seeking newer, more efficient buildings that reduce risk and support operational performance. Landlords, in turn, need to assess their portfolios carefully to ensure that assets remain competitive.
Arterial Industrial Estate is more than just another logistics park—it represents a shift in market expectations. Tenants are no longer settling for older buildings with layout constraints or energy inefficiencies. They are actively seeking out well-located, future-ready premises with long-term viability.
If you’re an industrial property owner, this is the right time to evaluate your asset’s positioning. Are you offering the kind of space today’s occupiers are demanding? If not, the market is already moving around you.
Growthpoint’s latest development proves that strategic foresight, data-led decisions, and a clear understanding of tenant priorities will continue to shape South Africa’s logistics and industrial landscape.
