Aberdare Drive is the the main road in Phoenix Industrial Park, which is a well-developed and popular industrial node in Phoenix. Phoenix Industrial Park is an economic powerhouse in the northern corridor of Durban. The Park is strategically located within easy access of all main transport networks and with an enormous source of labour, close at hand. The neighbouring Bridge City Development with its new railway link to Durban, along with the King Shaka International Airport in nearby La Mercy, has served to underline the value of the Park’s strategic location.
The construction of the new link, which forms part of the eThekwini’s GO!Durban Project – City’s Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network will also feature a dedicated road lane from Pinetown’s CBD to KwaMashu’s Bridge City, accessed by the new state-of-the-art GO!Durban buses, running from Anderson Street in Pinetown’s CBD to Bridge City in KwaMashu, utilising the provincial road MR577 (Dumisani Makhaye).

The Park is managed by the Phoenix Industrial Park Lot Owners Association, who has contributed to the success of the Park by operating on a zero-tolerance policy towards crime by employing 24/7-armed response services to businesses in the Park, as well as strong partnerships with SAPS and Metro Police, as well as the presence of CCTV cameras at various strategic points throughout the Park. The park typically contains large industrial warehouses with attached office components and workshops.

Developments found here are typically of a service retail and industrial nature but also include larger industrial manufacturing uses. This is an old and well-established industrial node of Phoenix which has attracted blue chip companies such as ABI (Coca-Cola), Spar and Trellidor. Many trucking companies have also been attracted to the area due to the easy access to highways and main arterial routes. Phoenix Industrial Park is easily accessed from either the Phoenix Highway or the KwaMashu Highway which runs east to connect to the N2 National Freeway.
