SUZUKI HEAD OFFICE, LONGLAKE LOGISTICS PARK
Fortress has officially broken ground on Suzuki Auto South Africa’ s new head office and distribution centre at Longlake Logistics Park in Gauteng. The new development reflects Suzuki’ s strategic expansion and confidence in Fortress’ s ability to deliver flexible, client-centric logistics solutions. Suzuki will be relocating from its current facility at Linbro Business Park into a purpose-designed 24,507m ² facility in Longlake, tailored to support its growing operational and workforce needs. Designed by ICM Architects, construction is set to be completed by June 2026. The state-of-the-art facility will feature 2,900m ² of modern office space and 19,100m ² of warehousing, with advanced amenities including training facilities, boardrooms, a workshop, and a spacious 100- seater canteen. The warehouse will feature a clear height of 15m, enabling maximum vertical space utilisation, along with large yards and easy vehicular access for streamlined logistics operations.“ This move marks a significant chapter in our journey,” said Berto van der Lith, Vice President and CFO for Suzuki Auto South Africa.“ Our new headquarters will allow for further improvements in our current operations and support the growth we foresee in the coming years. We are proud to partner with Fortress, whose team has demonstrated deep insight and commitment to our needs.”
SALT ROCK CITY, KZN NORTH COAST
The North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal continues to establish itself as one of South Africa’ s most attractive destinations for families, investors, and homebuyers. The region, renowned for its stunning beaches, natural beauty, and mild climate that is also still close to key business and transport hubs, will soon become home to the latest of Devmco Group’ s developments.
Brad Winstanley, Commercial Director at Devmco Group, explains that as the North Coast continues to attract a diverse demographic, Salt Rock City stands out as a prime example of the region’ s appeal. This exclusive residential development offers 3- and 4-bedroom homes. With a focus on family living, Salt Rock City will combine contemporary architecture with natural surroundings, providing private gardens, open-plan interiors, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces.
“ The region’ s exceptional educational facilities, robust security measures, quality healthcare, diverse retail offerings, stunning natural beauty and the proximity to King Shaka International Airport all contribute to its undeniable allure. Stats and facts about the demand for housing in this area along with the attractive investment opportunities were key contributing factors for our decision to develop the land in this area”, says Winstanley.
Winstanley added that Salt Rock City is part of the region’ s broader growth story.“ The continued expansion of Salt Rock reflects the broader investment potential of the region, which is experiencing strong capital appreciation for sectional title properties in some of the region’ s top-performing estates. Developments like Salt Rock City are poised to create more job opportunities, attract international visitors, and stimulate further growth in the overall region”.
Just a short distance from Curro Salt Rock School and local shopping centres, Salt Rocky City development will be an ideal family orientated base for those seeking close proximity to both work and play. The development boasts world-class amenities, including a community clubhouse, nature trails, 24 / 7 security, swimming pool, padel courts, and kids’ play areas which are all designed to create a strong sense of community and enhance the quality of life for future residents.
