Affordability and location peak interest in Crown

Accessibility, affordability and proximity to key points of industry have always played an important role in the desirability of industrial property. The suitability of an industrial area depends on various different factors - these components consists of proximity to markets, access to transport facilities, the price of power, accessibility of raw materials and availability of labour.

As such the industrial hotspot of Crown has evolved into a highly popular destination for logistics companies, import and exports as well as manufacturing activity. Located in the heart of Johannesburg's industrial sector, Crown provides tenants with access to various points of interest as well as the necessary business resources needed to run their operations.

Proximity to points of interest

Crown's attractiveness as an industrial locale largely comes from its location in relation to other industrial hubs, transport opportunities and the network of arterial roadways that surrounds it. Ideally positioned Crown is circumscribed by the R41, M17, M1, M2 and M70 - conveniently linking this area to the centre of Johannesburg, Sandton and the OR Tambo International Airport.

Crown is also approximately 10 km from the N1 and N12 freeways, while it lays roughly 19 km from the N3 - connecting Crown to the Durban Harbour. This level of accessibility has created the perfect environment for logistics companies and other transporters to thrive in.
