A Rare Commercial Opportunity with Scale, Exposure & Development Potential

Looking for a substantial commercial property in the heart of Middelburg, with excellent exposure, existing infrastructure and significant future development potential? Then this property deserves your attention.

Set on an impressive 4,461m2 commercial site, this property enjoys prominent frontage along a major arterial route, offering excellent visibility, accessibility and exposure.

The property is currently configured as a purpose-built motor dealership, but the opportunity extends far beyond its current use.

You have approximately 2,969m2 of improved areas, incorporating a substantial showroom, offices, service facilities, workshop space, storage, vehicle display areas, carports and ancillary facilities.

SHOWROOM & OFFICE FACILITIES

The 518m2 main showroom provides generous vehicle display space, customer seating areas, open-plan sales offices and individual sales cubicles, together with supporting administrative areas.

The showroom features an expansive glazed frontage, giving the property excellent street-level visibility.

Connected to the showroom is a 410m2 service department, incorporating service consultant areas, a customer-facing spares counter, dedicated parts storage, a boardroom and dealer principal’s office.

There is also a walk-in strongroom, kitchen and separate male and female ablution facilities.

For additional administrative accommodation, there are 46.8m2 of offices serving the used vehicle display area.

WORKSHOP

For an automotive operator, the workshop facilities are a major attraction.

The main workshop measures approximately 849m2, incorporating workshop space, offices, storerooms and changerooms.

It offers an approximate 4.3-metre eave height, together with three large roller-shutter doors, each approximately 4.3 metres wide by 3.8 metres high, allowing for excellent vehicle access and movement.

The workshop also has mezzanine storage areas for parts and materials, as well as a dedicated vehicle inspection pit, adding further functionality for servicing, diagnostics and underbody inspections.

There are also changeroom facilities with ablutions and showers.

USED VEHICLE DISPLAY AREA

Fronting the main road is a substantial 425.9m2 used vehicle display area, supported by additional offices.

This provides excellent space for continued automotive use, vehicle sales or other appropriate commercial activities.

SECURE YARD & ANCILLARY AREAS

Moving through to the rear, the secure yard provides significant additional functionality.

There is a 203.6m2 shed, a 26m2 storeroom, 282m2 of carports, 104m2 of wash-bay carports and a 15m2 used-oil room.

The property has approximately 36 demarcated parking bays, including open and covered parking, together with additional yard space for parking and vehicle manoeuvring.

The secure yard is accessed through a sliding gate and provides practical movement between the workshop, showroom, vehicle display areas and ancillary facilities.

POWER & SECURITY

The property has 125 amps of power, an important consideration for a commercial or workshop-based operation.

The site is secured with perimeter walls, palisade fencing and a sliding palisade gate, with additional security measures along sections of the boundary.

ZONING & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

One of the biggest attractions is the Business Zone 1 zoning.

This allows for a broad range of potential uses, including business purposes, motor showrooms, offices, service industries, shops, restaurants, medical consulting rooms, conference and exhibition centres, educational uses, institutional uses, shopping complexes and malls, parking garages and various other commercial applications, subject to the applicable planning requirements.

The development parameters are equally interesting.

The property has 90% coverage, equating to approximately 4,014.9m2.

The Floor Area Ratio is 4, providing for approximately 17,844m2 of floor area.

There is also a height restriction of up to 8 storeys, subject to the relevant planning and development approvals.

Building lines are 5 metres from the street, 2 metres at the rear and 3 metres on the other boundaries.

This means a purchaser has the opportunity to consider not only the existing improvements, but also the property’s longer-term development potential.

LOCATION

And then there is the location.

Positioned within Middelburg’s established commercial core, the property is surrounded by retail, automotive businesses, offices and service-related businesses.

It benefits from excellent access to the N4, providing connectivity towards Pretoria, eMalahleni and the broader Mpumalanga region.

The property is also adjacent to a municipal taxi rank, supporting accessibility and regular pedestrian and vehicular activity.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The property is connected to municipal services and has established infrastructure in place.

The seller is a registered VAT vendor, which is an important consideration for prospective commercial purchasers and should be discussed with your tax and professional advisers as part of the transaction.

The property will be sold with vacant occupation upon registration of transfer.
