OLD INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
CDC MULTI-USER WAREHOUSE
The Coega Development Corporations original brief called for the design of multi- user, agro processing incubator warehouses to accommodate various start-up companies and SMMEs. The size of the warehouses is to be between 300m2 and 1500m2. The warehouses were to be designed to be as generic as possible and flexible so that the size of each unit could be adapted by adding or removing space. The brief was later revised to include other industries like electronics.

Investment by a well-known international motor vehicle manufacturer based in East London, and the imminent launch of a new vehicle in a couple of years, paved the way for the expansion of the East London Industrial Development Zone.
New manufacturing facilities were identified, each with a tenant specific design layout. The HE 1 and HW1 manufacturing facilities have been
designed to accommodate all machinery, as per the tenant’s requirements, which includes an overhead crane and an office block.
Architecturally the buildings’ aesthetics and material use had to conform with the existing ELIDZ specifications.
The projects were both fast-track construction with very tight time frames.
