Prime Logistics & Distribution Facility To Let | 1 Stroude Place, Prospecton, Durban

A landmark logistics and distribution facility in Prospecton, Durban’s most established southern industrial node. Purpose-built for scale, efficiency and resilience, the property combines heavy-duty warehouse infrastructure, large paved yards and full energy redundancy — ideal for FMCG, 3PL or manufacturing users needing proximity to the N2 Freeway and Durban Port.

The facility offers a gross lettable area of approximately 19 256 m² on a 41 557 m² site. Improvements include a 15 142 m² main warehouse, a 1 117 m² hazardous-goods store, 2 295 m² of modern offices across two levels, a 352 m² workshop and refuelling bay, a 230 m² gatehouse and entrance, and ancillary cleaning and service areas.
A further 30 421 m² of heavy-duty yard space — divided into an 8 000 m² container yard and 22 421 m² open yard — allowing unrestricted super-link and container movement.

Inside, the warehouse provides a 12.5 m clear height, high-bay LED lighting, and power-floated floors designed for high racking and mechanical handling equipment. The racking layout accommodates roughly 10 186 pallets in a mix of shuttle and static systems. Fire protection is fully ASIB-compliant with sprinklers, pumps and tanks.

Loading and despatch efficiency is exceptional, with 53 access doors in total — sixteen on-grade roller doors, thirty-two dock-fitted container doors, four large sliding doors (two × 12 m and two × 6 m) and a single container door with ramp access. Truck flow is supported by a wide concrete hardstand yard and a SOLAS-accredited 40-ton container scale for accurate weighing.

The property is fed by a robust three-phase supply, a 378-panel solar array producing 121 kW, and a Doosan 625 kVA diesel generator with automatic start . This combination ensures uninterrupted operations even under high load.

The 2 295 m² double-storey office component provides corporate-grade space with a welcoming reception, boardrooms, open-plan work areas, meeting suites, kitchens and ablutions. Separate warehouse staff amenities include a canteen, locker rooms and change areas, while security and weighbridge control offices complete the on-site support. Secure parking is provided for approximately 75 vehicles.

Strategically located among Toyota SA Motors, Unilever, Defy and Vector Logistics, the site enjoys direct access to the N2, quick connections to the M4 and M35, and is roughly 15 minutes from Durban Container Terminal. Its position within Prospecton makes it one of the most connected and sought-after industrial addresses in the region.

With its 12.5 m height, 53 doors, 30 000 m² yard, 10 000-plus pallet capacity, solar generation and generator backup, 1 Stroude Place stands out as one of Durban’s most capable and future-ready logistics facilities — designed for throughput, reliability and long-term operational efficiency.
