An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial, established industrial property in Mooi River, KwaZulu-Natal, strategically positioned with convenient access to both the N3 national highway and R103.

Currently utilised as an engineering and industrial operation, the property offers a rare combination of large-scale workshop space, specialised facilities, training infrastructure, offices and extensive yard areas.

Its versatile configuration makes it suitable for a variety of industrial, commercial, logistics, manufacturing and skills-development applications.

Why Mooi River?

Mooi River is increasingly attracting attention as an emerging economic and logistics hub within the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

Its strategic position along the N3 corridor, together with planned investment and infrastructure development in the wider region, is creating opportunities for businesses looking for accessible industrial premises outside the major metropolitan centres.

For industrial operators, the location offers convenient connectivity between Durban, Pietermaritzburg, the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and Gauteng.

Main Engineering Workshop: The primary workshop provides approximately 1,200m2 of heavy-duty industrial space, measuring approximately 60m x 20m.

Key features include:

  • High-clearance interior suitable for large commercial and pantechnicon trucks
  • Heavy-duty 100–150mm concrete flooring
  • 5-ton overhead crane extending along the length of the workshop worth R2 million
  • Three-phase and single-phase electricity
  • Dedicated office accommodation
  • Showroom
  • Kitchen facilities
  • Ablutions
  • Direct access to surrounding yard and parking areas

Additional Industrial Facilities: The property also incorporates specialist facilities supporting a range of engineering and manufacturing activities.

Yard & Parking: Generous external areas provide substantial space for vehicle parking, equipment, loading, storage and operational requirements.

Training & Skills Development Facilities: A significant additional component of the property is the established training infrastructure, making the site particularly suitable for artisan development, technical training or an engineering-focused educational facility.

The facilities include:

  • Practical training area of approximately 16m x 10m
  • 10 classrooms, each approximately 8m x 8m
  • 10 toilets serving the training facilities

Subject to approval, the additional land may offer potential for future parking, expansion or other development opportunities.

The opportunity combines:

  • Approximately 1,200m2 heavy-duty engineering workshop
