Cape Town Warehouse for rent

Cape Town Warehouse. Brand new in Epping Industria. Construction is underway and will be completed in early 2025.

13,584 m of new warehouse space in total. The design includes a covered loading zone between 2 large warehouses. The property is zoned General Industrial 2.

Modern global warehouse trends – many of which will be included in this development:

Warehouses are transforming to operate more efficiently. They consolidate into units designed for same-day market delivery while stocking a more comprehensive range of finished goods. High ceilings over 12 meters to the eaves maximize cubic meter usage. Flexible designs with fewer columns adapt quickly to changing needs. Energy efficiency leads the way, with features like solar power and motion-activated LED lighting becoming standard. New fire regulations prioritise sprinkler systems, often supported by storage tanks. Hyper-flat, durable floors handle heavy loads, while numerous raised and ground-level docking doors streamline access.

Circulation areas efficiently accommodate interlink trucks, and fibre optic connections drive advanced software systems that seamlessly link warehouses, branches, and customers. Builders actively use sustainable “green” materials and implement strategies to reduce electricity and water consumption, such as reusing water on-site.

There are several advantages to having a high warehouse, including:

1. Increased Storage Capacity: High warehouses boost storage capacity by enabling goods to be stacked vertically. Businesses store more inventory within the same floor space, improving efficiency and cutting costs.
2. Better Use of Space: High warehouses make better use of available space, especially in urban areas where land is scarce and expensive. Building upward maximizes space without expanding the footprint.
3. Increased Efficiency: High warehouses streamline material handling and storage operations. Automated systems like conveyor belts and forklifts transport goods vertically, reducing the time and effort needed to move items.
4. Improved Safety: High warehouses prioritize workplace safety by minimizing the need for workers to use ladders or equipment to access high shelves, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
5. Potential for Energy Savings: High warehouses can lower energy costs through natural ventilation and lighting. Some designs also incorporate rainwater collection for irrigation or other uses.
6. Flexibility: High warehouses offer adaptable layouts to meet evolving business needs. Businesses can adjust shelving, reorganize storage areas, or reconfigure spaces to accommodate new equipment or processes.

A high warehouse offers businesses several advantages: it boosts storage capacity, maximizes space usage, enhances efficiency, improves safety, saves energy, and provides greater flexibility.

In conclusion, logistics is changing the face of industrial warehousing. So, this new development will include many of the above attributes of modern warehouses. Especially relevant, it’ll be high, and the cubic metre efficiencies the occupier will enjoy are significant and more cost-effective.
