Frequently Asked Questions

Rooihuiskraal generally offers light industrial units, small to mid-sized warehouses, storage space and workshop premises suited to trades, services, distribution and owner-managed businesses. The better-fit properties are usually practical spaces with roller-shutter access, yard or loading areas, three-phase power where available, and direct reach to Old Johannesburg Road and the wider Centurion route network. For larger logistics users, the node is usually more limited than Centurion’s bigger industrial parks, so Rooihuiskraal is strongest for flexible operational space with local access.

Across our Rooihuiskraal industrial listings, net asking rentals run from R63 to R120 per m² (10th to 90th percentile), with a median of R80 per m². On a gross basis, including rates and levies, tenants should budget at about R85 per m². The final rate will still depend on warehouse specification, yard access, office component and the strength of the fit-out.

Rooihuiskraal can work for light logistics, local distribution and low-impact manufacturing where access to Old Johannesburg Road, the N1 and Centurion’s customer base matters more than a heavy industrial address. It is better suited to businesses needing practical warehousing, dispatch and workshop space than to large-scale manufacturing with heavy truck movement, high power demand or extensive yard requirements. Tenants should test each property on truck access, loading, power capacity and operating permissions before committing.

Across the Rooihuiskraal warehousing we currently list, eaves range from 2.0–9.0 m, so tenants will find mixed-grade stock with meaningful variation between lower-clearance units and higher-volume warehouses. Loading access is not dock-leveller based in the properties we cover, so businesses should check yard depth, roller-shutter access, truck turning space and whether dispatch will work for their vehicle type before committing.

Rooihuiskraal is typically a practical Centurion option for businesses that want access to the N1/N14 side of the market without paying for the strongest-positioned industrial addresses nearby. Across our listings, Rooihuiskraal rentals are R63 to R120 per m² (10th to 90th percentile), with a median R80 net asking and about R85 per m² gross including rates and levies. Compared with nearby nodes, the trade-off is usually less frontage and profile, but better value for tenants prioritising warehousing, light industrial use and road access over corporate visibility.

In Rooihuiskraal, power capacity is building-specific, with many commercial and light-industrial units able to support normal office, showroom, storage and workshop loads. Three-phase supply is common in the industrial pockets, but tenants with machinery, cold rooms or high electrical demand should confirm available amps and DB capacity before committing. Also check backup power provisions and whether any supply upgrade would need landlord approval or municipal work.

Rooihuiskraal can work for light industrial tenants that need practical truck movement via Old Johannesburg Road and nearby Centurion arterials, but it is not the first pick for operations that rely on constant super-link circulation. Yard space is deal-specific: some properties offer usable hardstand or shared loading areas, while others are better suited to courier vans, rigid trucks and local distribution. Before committing, test truck turning, roller-door approach, loading depth and whether yard use is exclusive or shared.

For industrial users, Rooihuiskraal gives a practical Centurion base with access to Old Johannesburg Road, the N1 and N14 corridors, and routes into Midrand, Pretoria and the West Rand. It suits warehousing, light manufacturing and trade-counter businesses that need central Gauteng reach with a more operational, less office-led location.

Rooihuiskraal’s main drawback is that it is a smaller industrial pocket within Centurion, so tenants needing large yards, high-volume truck circulation or heavy industrial infrastructure may find fewer suitable buildings than in nodes such as Samrand or Midrand. Access is practical via Old Johannesburg Road and the N1/N14 system, but peak-period congestion through the surrounding mixed residential and commercial streets can slow staff and local deliveries. The area suits light industrial, service trade and storage users; it is less compelling for companies that need a dedicated logistics environment with extensive yard depth and fewer neighbouring land-use constraints.
