It all begins in Durban — where ships from across the world dock, carrying the goods that fuel South Africa’s economy. From here, every shipment needs to reach its final destination quickly, reliably and cost-effectively.

Goods arrive at the Port of Durban, but the journey is just beginning. You have the choice: store your goods in an expensive Durban warehouse, or store them at the entry point to Gauteng, close to your customer…

Now imagine a location designed to make that journey faster and more efficient than ever before. A site with 5,2 kilometres of direct frontage on the N3, positioned at the junction of the country’s busiest trade route, N12, N17 and aligned seamlessly with the Container Rail Corridor.

At the Port of Gauteng, there is no double travel — only the shortest inland route, unmatched speed-to-market, and a location built to power the future of trade.

This 1,400 hectare area has been earmarked for logistics and light industry in terms of the Ekurhuleni MSDF (Metropolitan Spatial Development Framework) since 2011.

Our Location

Situated between the N3 highway and the Container Corridor rail line at the Barry Marais offramp, the Port of Gauteng’s 1,400-hectare site offers an unmatched speed-to-market advantage on South Africa’s busiest trade route. With 560-hectares offering level topography.

This superior location in Gauteng provides a blank canvas for developers and logistics operators to design state-of-the-art warehousing and distribution facilities, maximising efficiency while integrating the latest intelligent supply chain technologies for a resilient future.

Positioned on Gauteng’s busiest trade artery, it is the ideal inland logistics hub. Whether road, rail, or both — this location is your competitive edge. It not only drives speed and savings but also builds operational reliability into your entire supply chain.

Strategic Junction Advantage Port of Gauteng is the closest warehousing location to the junction of the Container Rail Corridor line with the N3, N12, and N17—ensuring seamless modal transitions, eliminating double travel, and accelerating speed to market.

With cost-efficient warehousing, Port of Gauteng offers more competitive rental rates than Durban, particularly for large-format warehouses – driven by the site’s flat topography that results in construction cost reductions. These factors combine to reduce development costs, accelerate build timelines, and deliver long-term operational savings, giving logistics operators greater scalability and financial flexibility.

Enduring Asset Class Trade route properties are among the rarest and most enduring asset classes, with lifecycles spanning centuries. The Port of Gauteng will be purpose-built to anchor this legacy – a world-class inland port designed for generational relevance.

Whether road, rail, or both — this location is your competitive edge. It not only drives speed and savings but also builds operational reliability into your entire supply chain.

A location that performs even before your goods start moving.

Location Advantage

Shortest Route. Maximum Results. Value Driven.

Positioned directly on the N3 at an offramp, at the entry point of Gauteng and aligned with the Container Corridor rail line, the Port of Gauteng is ideally located with access to and from the N3, N12, and N17 and access to the Department of Transport’s proposed PWV13 and PWV15 highway which will start in the Port of Gauteng.

The Port of Gauteng

This optimal location reduces transport costs between Durban Port and Gauteng by eliminating double travel and ensuring faster, more reliable deliveries. Positioned at the Barry Marais offramp, where the N3 and Container Corridor converge, the Port offers a true speed-to-market advantage — especially important since Gauteng receives nearly 80% of all imports from Durban

With secure bespoke future rail and car terminals, logistics will become even more economical.

orange arrowEfficient site topography means lower earthworks and warehousing costs. Development costs drop exponentially as warehouse size increases.

orange arrowSituated between the N3 and the Container Corridor (Barry Marais offramp), allowing optimal rail terminal efficiency. It is also located between Glenroy and Rooikop stations, which both have major shunting facilities, thus alleviating rail congestion.

orange arrowIntermodal efficiency built into the land itself (a container or car train can be turned around in 3 hours).

orange arrowThe location will provide for bespoke rail and car terminals with world-class private security, which is essential for distribution centres.

orange arrowSustainability is a key feature and abundant solar will form part of the development, as well as water recycling, reducing dependency on municipal systems.

orange arrowA planned microgrid will optimise the extensive solar installation, ensuring reliable, cost-efficient, and sustainable power across the precinct. Full municipal bulk services installed, including complete sewer drainage in the north and partial in the south of the property.

Given the location and the topography, this prime inland port provides a blank canvas for developers and logistics operators to design state-of-the-art warehousing, terminals and distribution facilities, maximising efficiency while integrating the latest intelligent building technology.
