Property Details

This 11,479m2 property is the only site in Whetstone Business Park zoned for hotel development, offering a rare opportunity to deliver much-needed hospitality infrastructure in one of South Africa’s fastest-growing logistics nodes. With freight, executive movement, and commercial demand accelerating through King Shaka International and Dube Trade Port, the absence of on-site accommodation presents a prime gap in the market—and this site is the only one that can fill it.

Investment fundamentals:

  • Exclusivity locked in: Hotel development is limited to Portion. No future competing sites within the park.
  • Demand already embedded: Over 77% of the park is sold to logistics operators, light manufacturers, and commercial users—none of whom have access to on-site accommodation or conferencing facilities.
  • Growth node dynamics: Located in the Aerotropolis corridor, directly aligned with KZN’s provincial development strategy. Infrastructure, investment, and uptake already in motion.
  • Serviced and de-risked: Bulk infrastructure—power, roads, stormwater—is installed. Development can begin immediately.
  • Versatility: While zoned specifically for hotel use, the site supports mixed-use potential such as conferencing, short-term executive suites, branded hospitality, or hybrid office-accommodation space (subject to final permissions and design compliance).

Site Profile:

  • Platform area: 9,855m2
  • Total land area: 11,479m2
  • Zoning: Business Centre 4 Zone — hotel rights limited to this site
  • Servicing: Road access, stormwater, and scalable three-phase power installed
  • Location: Within minutes of King Shaka International Airport, Dube Trade Port, and the N2

Why now:

The demand is built in. The infrastructure is ready. The timing is strategic. This is a hospitality-driven return opportunity in a node already moving. Let’s discuss the numbers.
