According to Labram, each of these areas has something unique to offer. "Boksburg has a diverse offering," he explains, "and there is an industrial property to suit everyone's budget in one of these areas."

Fleming shines the spotlight on Anderbolt, explaining that the area boasts ample power for engineering and manufacturing operations. "Multiple engineering and manufacturing companies can be found in Anderbolt because their power needs are met here," he comments. He adds that Jet Park and Pomona are ideal locations for logistics companies due to their positioning and pricing.

Interesting developments in Boksburg's pipeline

Gauteng is the heartland of South Africa's economy, with many new developments being built at any given time.

It has warehouses from 5 000 sqm to 40 000 sqm in size, offering flexibility and functionality," he comments. "The facilities have been designed with tenants' requirements in mind."
