Equites recently completed a 17,628m² warehouse leased to Imperial Health Sciences (IHS). This temperature-controlled facility in Equites Park, Riverfields, is located in the same park as Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology. The warehouse design incorporates EDGE principles geared towards increasing energy, water and material efficiency. This is achieved through the use and application of interventions such as LED lights, water-efficient fixtures and fittings, and the generation and use of renewable energy, to name a few. HIS’s roof hosts a shared 1322 kWp solar system, which is expected to produce around 2,177,457 kWh each year (average).

Equites is developing a 22,472m² facility on a 62 423m2 site leased to Sandvik, a global company focused on mining and excavation technology. The facility comprises three workshops, a machine test track, and a 6,567m2 head office. Sandvik’s facility is located in Riverfields – a fast-developing logistics node in Kempton Park, Gauteng, which is home to tenants such as Imperial Health Solutions, Takealot, DHL, Iron Mountain, John Deere and more. The Sandvik facility is designed and built to incorporate EDGE principles and aims to achieve a target of 42% efficiencies in energy, water, and materials.

This modern logistics speculative build is expected to have a total gross lettable area (GLA) of 8,089m², comprising of 7,711m² warehouse GLA and 361m² office GLA, with an opportunity to increase the office GLA to 722m². The location of the facility inherently makes it attractive, with distribution centres such as DSV, Spar, and Pick n Pay already well-established in the same vicinity.
