Mountain View Business Precinct: Premier Light Industrial Development in Durbanville’s Growth Node

Durbanville is rapidly expanding as a commercial growth node in the Western Cape, Mountain View Business Precinct represents a cutting-edge 34-hectare light industrial park designed to meet the demands of modern logistics, manufacturing, and distribution businesses. Strategically positioned between the Durbanville suburb and the forthcoming Cape Winelands Airport (undergoing an R8 billion expansion with environmental approval secured in late 2025), the precinct offers unparalleled connectivity and future-proof investment potential. Its proximity to the newly opened Groot Phesantekraal View shopping centre (a 30,000 m² lifestyle hub that debuted in 2025) further enhances accessibility for workforce and amenities, creating a synergistic live-work-play environment.

Strategic Location and Logistics Advantages

Mountain View Business Precinct benefits from access to major transport arteries, including the N1, R300, and R302 highways, positioning it as a logistics gateway in Cape Town’s northern corridor. Just minutes from the Cape Winelands Airport—set for phased commissioning from 2028 with cargo and industrial precincts—the development is ideal for air-freight-dependent operations, e-commerce fulfillment, and export-oriented industries. The area’s low industrial vacancy rates (under 4% regionally) and proximity to Durbanville’s affluent residential base ensure efficient labor access and reduced commuting times.

Investment Appeal

With the Western Cape’s industrial sector yielding 8-12% returns amid strong FDI inflows, Mountain View stands out for its scalable opportunities in a high-demand zone. Developed with modern urban planning principles, it attracts tenants in light manufacturing, warehousing, and tech-enabled logistics. Anticipated appreciation: 12-15% annually through 2030, driven by infrastructure upgrades and urban expansion.

Property Types Available

The precinct emphasizes flexibility within a secure business park environment, featuring 24-hour security, fiber connectivity, and ample truck articulation. Land parcels are available for sale, catering to owner-occupiers or developers:

• Large Distribution Centres: Expansive erven (up to 10+ ha per phase) for mega-warehouses with high eaves (10-14m), dock-levelers, and solar integration. Ideal for national distributors or cold-chain operations.
• Smaller Operations: Mini-units from 500-5,000 m² in clustered parks; light industrial flex spaces with mezzanine offices, 3-phase power, and yard areas.
• Build-to-Suit Options: Customizable light industrial units with green certifications; options for showrooms or hybrid office-warehouse setups.

Priced from R2,500/m² for land (serviced and ready). This development is poised to capitalise on Durbanville’s transformation into a logistics powerhouse, offering low-risk, high-reward opportunities for investors and operators.
