The R50-million road will be opened to the public at the end of September.<\/p>\n
The greater S&J Industrial Estate spans an impressive 210ha and will cater for a variety of industrial and commercial uses.<\/p>
S&J offers excellent visibility and convenient access from and to the N3 and M2 highways, making it ideal for logistics, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, as well as big box retail.<\/p>\n Tenants will be able to leverage the site\u2019s location and with the extension of Gosforth Road and construction of the new Europa Street, benefit largely from the new road infrastructure.<\/p>\n The new roads will alleviate traffic and complement the surrounding municipal network thus allowing for faster travel time.<\/p>\n \u201cAccessibility is a key pillar to the success of S&J. With this in mind, our professional team engineered a development master plan that addressed historical inefficiencies experienced in older nodes,\u201d said Johann Nell, national asset manager, industrial for Redefine Properties.<\/p>\n \u201cThe opening of the roads marks a significant achievement, not only for S&J but for the greater Germiston and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n \u201cRoads are the lifelines for development and bring people and businesses together,\u201d Nell said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe new roads make S&J very attractive for companies in the logistics and warehousing sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALSO READ:<\/span><\/p>\n Bitter-sweet retirement for local dentist<\/a><\/p>\n Retired people can join the Germiston Probus Club<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the investment in road construction, just under R80-m has been allocated to the provision of bulk sewer, water mains and the necessary substation to facilitate development.<\/p>\n At the estate, the construction of the first precinct guard house is complete with several parcels of land being readied for sale.<\/p>\n Current negotiations include the outright sale of land, turnkey development sale, JV development deals and bespoke developments for leasing all totalling in excess of 150 000 sqm.<\/p>\n \u201cIn a regional context, the development brings much-needed job opportunities, during and post construction.<\/p>\n \u201cIt also revitalises the area as it takes formerly under-utilised land and creates development opportunities which stimulate growth in the area,\u201d said Nell.<\/p>\n Jupiter Extension Nine, also known as Ganymede Precinct, in extent of 13 hectares is the first phase within the S&J precinct to be released.<\/p>\n As part of this precinct\u2019s establishment a land sale agreement for just over 53 000sqm has been concluded.<\/p>\n The property will be transferred by the end of the year.<\/p>\n Construction on the first two buildings in this precinct, with a combined GLA of 46 500sqm is planned to commence during the last quarter of this year.<\/p>\n \u201cS&J will be one of the biggest industrial estates of its kind in Gauteng and South Africa.<\/p>\n \u201cThe new roads will ensure value appreciation in the area and allow businesses convenient access to major freeways,\u201d said Jurgens Prinsloo, managing director, Abland Property Developers.<\/p>\n \u201cThe tremendous interest in S&J validates our vision for the project.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have created a unique opportunity in the market for businesses looking to operate from an efficiently designed, well planned and well managed, secure industrial park, within an established node.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hav<\/strong>e a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za <\/a><\/strong>or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/09\/38GCNGENERALROAD_57016-520x390.jpg\")
