A new warehousing and office
complex has opened its doors in
Ladysmith situated on 19 hectares in
the heart of city’s industrial precinct.
This follows the purchase of the Frame
Textile Complex, a well-known landmark
of the town, by KZN property developer
Ducatus Properties.
“This distribution and warehousing
hub is located in the centre of all major
transportation routes and is accessible to
all articulared transport vehicles,” Ducatus
spokesman Paul Bester told FTW.
“As the new owners it is our intention
to develop the complex into a first
class multiplex where manufacturing,
warehousing and distribution of goods and
services can take place,” he said. “With a
unique current tenant blend that includes
Dunlop Tyres, Frame Textiles, Zultrans
and GNG Pine Products to name a few,
our vision is to strengthen current tenant
relations as well as build relations with
many new tenants.”
The facility comprises approximately
100 000m² of warehouse and office
accommodation as well parking facilities
in a securely fenced-off perimeter, 24-hour
security access control and a fully operational
fire sprinkler system throughout the site.
According to Ducatus, which
is marketing affordable rates, it is
suitable for tenants of all sizes – from
those starting new business ventures to
large multi-nationals looking to expand
their operations.
