Lucrative tax benefits and prime access to King Shaka Airport – 14,665 sqm industrial property available to lease in Dube TradePort
Formerly developed for and leased by German logistics giant DB Schenker, an incredible industrial property with a proven operational history will be available to lease from April 2025.
This property is easily convertible into a state-of-the-art factory, as it comprises 14,665 sqm of prime warehouse/factory and office space that is located in the highly-desirable Dube TradePort Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
Right next door to King Shaka International Airport, Dube TradePort is 30km north of Durban and offers easy access to the M4 and N2 highways. Located within a secure, 24/7 gated precinct with controlled access, the property features its own guardhouse and electric fencing, offering tenants robust protection for their assets and personnel.
The property’s location in the Dube TradePort SEZ provides companies with a wide range of tax incentives such as a preferential 15% corporate tax rate, which helps reduce tax liability and allows companies to reinvest savings into growth initiatives.
Additionally, the Employment Tax Incentive offers rebates for hiring young South African workers, lowering employment costs while supporting local job creation.
Furthermore, companies can access tax relief through exemptions under the Value-Added Tax Act, Customs and Excise Act, Customs Duty Act, and Customs Control Act, providing significant financial savings.
These incentives, combined with the property’s prime location, make it a unique opportunity for businesses aiming to thrive in South Africa’s fast-growing industrial and logistics hub.
The Dube Trade Port Special Economic Zone (SEZ) has successfully attracted globally renowned companies, reinforcing its position as a premier business hub.
Industry leaders such as Samsung Electronics, PepsiCo, Mahindra, Yangtze Optic Africa Cable, TufBag (South Africa’s leading packaging manufacturer), Chem Energy (specializing in electric motors and generators), Barrows (a global retail experience agency), FutureLife (a prominent cereal brand), and National Stationery have established operations within the zone.
Further cementing its appeal, Toyota Tsusho Africa and Ogihara Thailand have recently announced their joint venture aimed at enhancing local automotive parts manufacturing.
The announcement was made at its Dube Trade Port construction site, and this R1.1 billion investment underscores the area’s potential as a hotspot for industrial growth.
The SEZ also offers a One Stop Shop (OSS) that has been developed to support companies operating within the zone.
The OSS is a point of contact for clients wishing to interact with government agencies and departments.
It offers assistance with registrations, licensing and visa services, investor after-care services, and administrative services covering a range of business enquiries regarding the SEZ’s operations.
