Crusader Logistics has leased a new 19,970m² warehouse at Eastport for a period of 10 years, reflecting their confidence in Fortress’ ability to meet their expansion needs. Construction will be completed by October 2025.
This will be the second warehouse for Crusader Logistics at Eastport. The first warehouse - a 19,787m2 building with a lease period of 10 years – was completed in August 2023. This world-class logistics hub stores multiple classes of goods and is equipped with the latest innovative technology. The facility has an impressive 19,000m2 under-roof space with a height of 15m to the eaves, complimented by A grade offices and a specialised multi-compartment HAZ-store facility, a truck wash bay with rainwater harvesting and, a state-of-the-art solar system plus backup generator power. The facility can be circulated by ring road providing easy access for cars and trucks alike. This development has allowed the company to increase its employee headcount to over 80 staff members from the surrounding areas in Johannesburg.
Eastport Logistics Park is one of the largest and most modern FMCG distribution centres on the African continent and the broader R21 area. It forms part of South Africa’s prime logistics hub as allied industries and businesses seek proximity and rational integration into the country’s leading logistics ecosystem.
