11 Properties To Let in Longlake, Gauteng

Longlake mainly suits light industrial and logistics users, with space typically presented as warehouse-led units supported by offices, yard access and on-site parking. Tenants will also find mini-industrial units, distribution space and showroom-warehouse formats where visibility or customer access matters. The area works best for companies needing practical access to Linbro Park, Modderfontein and the N3 corridor without moving into a heavy industrial node.

Across our current Longlake listings, warehouse and industrial space is pricing at R59 to R95 per m² (10th to 90th percentile), with a median of R74 per m² net asking. Allowing for rates and levies, the comparable gross asking level is about R79 per m², with the final number depending on the specific property cost structure.

Longlake is suitable for light logistics, last-mile distribution and clean industrial users that need access into Sandton, Midrand and the N3 corridor without moving into a heavy industrial node. It is less convincing for heavy manufacturing where yard depth, high-power supply, loading tolerance and truck staging dominate the requirement. For a business weighing Longlake, the key test is whether the operation needs urban distribution access more than large-scale industrial infrastructure.

In Longlake, the warehousing we currently list is A grade stock, with eaves typically ranging from 7.0 to 15.0 m across our listings. Loading access is generally configured for formal distribution use, with dock levellers standard in the properties we cover. For tenants comparing options, the practical distinction is less about basic access and more about clear height requirement, truck circulation and how the warehouse floor is configured.

Longlake generally competes as a Sandton-side industrial position with good access logic, so it suits companies that want distribution capability without moving deeper into the East Rand industrial belt. Across our listings, Longlake rentals are R59 to R95 per m² (10th to 90th percentile), median R74 net asking, with gross asking at about R79 per m² including rates and levies. Compared with nearby nodes, the trade-off is usually access and setting versus pure rental discount; tenants should compare final gross cost, yard usability, loading, power and staff travel times before choosing.

For office and light-industrial tenants, Longlake generally supports standard commercial supply, with three-phase power commonly catered for in warehouse and mixed-use units. Practical capacity is building-specific, so check the main breaker, transformer allocation and any prior upgrades before committing. High-draw users should make available amperage and the upgrade approval process clear lease conditions.

Longlake generally works for light industrial and logistics users that need truck access off the main industrial roads, with many properties planned around controlled park entrances, roller-shutter loading and internal circulation. Yard space is usually functional loading yard or shared apron space, so the key check is whether your trucks can turn, queue and load without blocking the park road. For larger vehicles or high-frequency dispatch, assess turning radius, gate width and on-grade loading at the specific unit before committing.

Longlake works for industrial businesses that need Johannesburg reach without being buried in older inner-city industrial nodes. Its main advantage is quick N3 access, with Marlboro Drive and Modderfontein Road giving practical links into Sandton, Midrand, Edenvale and the East Rand. The area also suits logistics, light manufacturing and distribution tenants that need truck access, staff access and a more modern business-park setting.

Longlake’s main drawback is that it is a controlled, higher-spec industrial node, so it does not suit tenants needing heavy yard operations, noisy manufacturing, or low-cost space. Access is strong via the N3 and Marlboro corridor, but peak-hour pressure around Marlboro Drive and the wider Sandton-Woodmead approaches can affect staff and fleet movements. The node is also less forgiving for public-transport-dependent workforces than older industrial areas, and available stock tends to be more prescribed in layout, with fewer cheap conversion options.
