Land with Truck Stop Potential - 19.7Ha in Hammarsdale

Potential Petrol Station/ Truck Stop site on the Main Rd going to Hammarsdale.
Situated diagonally opposite the existing Caltex garage.

Site Area: 19,7 Ha but only about 4Ha has been approved for development in the first phase but could potentially be extended to 5,5 Ha. The 4Ha that I referred to, includes the powerline servitude.
Asking Price: R18 000 000
Zoning: Agricultural 3

It will be the only Petrol Station on that side of the main road and is located between Cato Scrap and the Rainbow training centre land i.e. very close to Keystone. It is also situated on an intersection.

It appears they will support a Fueling and Service Station zoning. This zoning allows for a Truck Stop, shops and restaurant by special consent. Overnight accommodation facilities are also permitted as per the definition of a Truck Stop - see below.
Truck Stop: means premises used primarily as stop over facility for commercial vehicles. A truck stop may include facilities for the maintenance or repair of commercial vehicles, the dispensing of motor fuel or other petroleum products directly into motor vehicles, and a sale of accessories or equipment for trucks and similar commercial vehicles. A truck stop may also include overnight accommodation and restaurant facilities primarily for the use of truck crews.

Hammarsdale is a town situated in the eThekwini municipality, some on the N3 Freight Corridor between Pieterrmaritzburg and Durban. A large part of South Africa's textile industry was located in Hammarsdale some years back but the area is quickly becoming a popular logistics node, as it is ideally located on the primary western corridor, the centre of gravity of most of South Africa's regional and national distribution network. The N3 freight corridor, supposedly the busiest in the country, runs past Hammarsdale connecting Durban and Gauteng. With Durban being home to the busiest port in Sub-Saharan Africa and Gauteng being South Africa's economic heartland, it brings huge potential to Hammarsdale as a logistics, manufacturing and business hub. Cato Ridge, where the future 850ha Dry Port logistics, industry and business development will be located, is a mere 7km from Hammarsdale. Hammarsdale is home to the brand new Keystone Logistics Park, Point Park, Hammarsdale Industrial Park and many freestanding warehouses and factories.

eThekwini has pegged Hammarsdale/Cato-Ridge as one of the three catalytic development Node's for KZN, along with the south and north coast. This classification has provided Hammarsdale with significant infrastructure investment from the eThekwini, SOE's and other government entities into roads, waste water, power, public transport etc, all of which have a direct benefit to Hammarsdale.

The surrounding area is home to some national and international companies; Value Logistics; Bakers Transport; Mr Price Distribution Centre; PepCore Distribution Centre; Merlog Foods; Boxer Stores; Safal Steel (Pty) Ltd; One Logix; Gr...
