Situated at 38 Prospecton Road, Prospecton Industrial, this versatile mixed-use commercial property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a multi-tenanted asset within one of Durban’s most established and in-demand industrial nodes. The property is well suited to owner-occupiers or investors, with a configuration capable of comfortably accommodating approximately ±8 tenants across retail, office and warehouse components.
Locality
Prospecton Industrial is strategically positioned within Durban’s South Industrial Basin, benefiting from immediate access to major transport routes and proximity to the Durban Port. The property lies on a key commuter route and is conveniently located near surrounding townships, providing access to a substantial blue-collar labour pool. Its position near the N2 Freeway (±150m) ensures excellent regional connectivity, while prominent exposure along Prospecton Road supports strong commercial visibility.
Improvements
The property is accessed via roller gate entrances from Prospecton Road and Prospecton Place and is fully secured with steel palisade fencing along all boundaries, including a concrete palisade along one boundary. The site offers approximately 22 on-site parking bays and is supported by a 300 Amps power supply.
Improvements comprise three retail shops/offices fronting Prospecton Road, two of which are double-volume. These units include a mix of open-plan areas, mezzanine levels, drywall-partitioned offices, kitchenettes and ablution facilities. One of the larger units was previously occupied by a national bank and offers expansive open-plan accommodation with dedicated male and female ablutions and kitchen facilities.
The first-floor accommodation includes four offices and a showroom with high glass frontage, accessed via two separate staircases. The offices are predominantly drywall-partitioned and share common ablution facilities on the ground floor.
A double-volume warehouse of approximately 200 m² is positioned at the rear of the property and is accessed via Prospecton Place. The warehouse features hardened concrete floors, insulated ceilings, a roller shutter door, reception area, ablution facilities, and an upper-level office. The facility offers excellent internal height of approximately 7.9m to the apex and 6m to the eaves.
Income Potential
The flexible layout and mixed-use nature of the property allow for multiple income streams, with the ability to accommodate retail, office, showroom and light industrial tenants. The property’s historical occupation by national tenants and its strong location support ongoing leasing demand within the Prospecton Industrial node.
