Located on the northern boundary of the S & J Industrial Estate in Germiston , the new Sparepro facility sits proudly as the first single tenanted building amongst the up-and-coming new purpose-built facilities . Through bold architectural design elements and innovative planning , the aim of providing a world class facility embodying Sparepro ’ s quest for consistent innovation and continued culture of service excellence has been achieved .

Developed by Abland Property Developers on behalf of Redefine Properties , the client - an importer and distributor of motor spares and related products - was looking at relocating to a more centrally accessible location which promoted financial stability and sustainable business growth to their core customer market in the Johannesburg region . The new location at the S & J Industrial Estate in Gosforth Park helped generate a concept of connection and integration of business .
Brief The primary aim was to create a purpose-built head office with an increased visual footprint . This was made possible due to the location along the N3 Eastern bypass . The focus was on a greater capacity , improved efficiency and the enhancement of the total solution . The design was to provide an immersive environment for all customers and staff , whilst still embodying Sparepro ’ s quest for consistent innovation and continued culture of service excellence . Ultimately , through innovative design and spatial planning the building encapsulates a sophisticated and client-friendly showroom , a warehouse with a superior management system and offices with a unique approach to spatial planning that streamline operations and efficiency whilst still adhering to the company philosophy .
