Richmond Park is a large-scale mixed-use business development situated alongside the N7 highway in Milnerton, Cape Town. The broader development has provision for approximately 300,000 m² of gross lettable area, with a combination of completed facilities, purpose-built developments and additional sites available for future development.

Richmond Park is particularly suited to businesses requiring modern warehouse accommodation, strong logistics connectivity, access to major highways and the ability to develop premises around specific operational requirements.

Strategic N7 Location

One of Richmond Park’s main advantages is its location.The development is positioned directly alongside the N7 highway** and is serviced by two major arterial routes, N7 Highway and Plattekloof Road / M1. These routes provide convenient connections to the **N1 highway, Cape Town CBD, Port of Cape Town and Cape Town International Airport.

For logistics, distribution and warehousing businesses, this provides access to both north-south and east-west transport routes without needing to operate from a congested inner-city industrial area.
The N7 provides direct connections towards Montague Gardens, Killarney Gardens, Malmesbury and the West Coast, while Plattekloof Road provides an important connection between the N7 and N1. From the N1, businesses can access Century City, Cape Town CBD, the Northern Suburbs and the wider metropolitan road network.

Major Road Infrastructure - Significant road infrastructure has been developed around Richmond Park to support the long-term growth of the precinct.These infrastructure improvements are particularly important for larger warehouse and distribution users where truck access, delivery times and the efficient movement of vehicles form a major part of the property decision.

The road network also provides businesses operating within Richmond Park with prominent exposure to passing traffic.For companies where visibility forms part of their branding or customer strategy, the N7 and Plattekloof Road frontages provide valuable exposure.

Warehousing and Industrial Development - Richmond Park has been planned around the requirements of modern industrial and logistics users. The precinct can accommodate a range of industrial uses including:

- Warehousing and distribution
- Logistics and fulfilment operations
- Light manufacturing
- Wholesale businesses
- E-commerce distribution
- Import and export operations
- Storage
- Corporate distribution centres
- Showroom and warehouse combinations
- Larger regional operations

Purpose-built development opportunities also allow businesses with more specialised requirements to consider premises designed around their own operational needs.

Development Opportunities at Richmond Park - A number of larger development sites remain available within Richmond Park, providing opportunities for businesses requiring substantial purpose-built facilities.

Current development opportunities can accommodate buildings with gross lettable areas of approximately:

- 25,300 m²
- 21,500 m²
- 13,600 m²
- 9,500 m²
- 7,300 m²

These sites create opportunities for larger occupiers requiring regional distribution centres, logistics facilities, warehousing, manufacturing or substantial corporate and industrial premises. The ability to develop larger facilities within an established business precinct is one of Richmond Park’s key strengths, particularly for businesses that cannot find an existing warehouse matching their exact operational requirements.

Fibre Infrastructure - Fibre-optic infrastructure has been installed throughout Richmond Park, allowing occupiers to connect with their preferred internet service provider. This is particularly relevant to modern logistics and distribution businesses where warehouse management systems, cloud-based platforms, inventory tracking and communication systems require reliable high-speed connectivity.

Electricity Supply - Richmond Park receives its electricity supply directly from **Eskom. For industrial businesses, electricity supply and consumption charges can represent a significant portion of overall property operating costs, particularly for manufacturing, refrigeration and higher-power warehouse operations.

The direct Eskom supply is therefore an important consideration when businesses compare Richmond Park with industrial areas serviced through alternative municipal or private utility structures. Specific electrical capacity should still be confirmed for each individual property or proposed development, particularly where an occupier has substantial three-phase power requirements.

Public Transport - Richmond Park is accessible by a combination of taxi, rail and MyCiTi services, providing commuting options for staff travelling from surrounding residential areas. Chempet railway station is approximately 5 kilometres from the development**, while taxi and bus services operate through the wider Milnerton and Plattekloof areas. Public transport accessibility is an important consideration for larger warehousing, logistics and distribution businesses where staff complements can be substantial.

The surrounding residential areas also provide Richmond Park with access to a sizeable labour pool. It is anchored by **Pick n Pay, Woolworths Food and Clicks. Additional food and convenience operators include Vida e Caffè, Burger King and KFC, together with a range of other stores and service businesses. This helps Richmond Park function as a broader business precinct rather than a conventional standalone industrial park.

Large Surrounding Catchment Area - Richmond Park occupies a strategic position between a number of established residential areas including Richwood, Burgundy Estate, Bothasig, Plattekloof and surrounding Northern Suburbs neighbourhoods. The road network places more than 140,000 households within approximately a 10 km radius of the development.

For industrial businesses, this provides access to a broad potential workforce.

Business Visibility - The position alongside the N7 is another important feature of Richmond Park. Businesses occupying prominent sites can benefit from exposure to substantial volumes of passing traffic, particularly properties facing the N7 and major internal access routes. For distributors, wholesalers, automotive-related businesses, trade suppliers and showroom operators, this visibility can add meaningful value beyond the operational benefits of the warehouse itself.

The precinct therefore accommodates both traditional warehouse users and businesses requiring a combination of logistics functionality and corporate visibility.

Modern Industrial Environment - Richmond Park differs from many of Cape Town’s older industrial areas because much of the precinct has been developed around contemporary warehouse and logistics requirements.

Why Businesses Consider Richmond Park - Richmond Park provides a combination of location, infrastructure and development flexibility that makes it particularly relevant to businesses requiring modern industrial accommodation in Cape Town.

Industrial Property to Rent at Richmond Park - Warehouse availability within Richmond Park ranges from existing modern industrial premises to new developments and larger purpose-built opportunities.

Where an existing property does not meet the operational requirement, larger development sites provide the opportunity to consider a purpose-built solution.
