A fully refurbished industrial warehouse and logistics facility is available to rent in Charleston Hill, Paarl, offering approximately ±11,600m² of gross lettable area on a ±5.2-hectare site.
Available for occupation from 1 June 2026 at R75/m² (net), this large-scale industrial property is positioned within one of Paarl’s most established industrial areas, with direct access to major arterial routes and the N1 Highway.
Previously occupied by Yara International for blending operations serving the Western Cape, the facility carries a proven operational track record within a regulated, process-driven industrial environment.
Proven Industrial Facility In Paarl With Operational History
Prior to refurbishment, the property functioned as a key operational hub for Yara International, the globally recognised Norwegian company operating in more than 60 countries and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
The site supported high-volume blending operations within the agricultural supply chain, requiring consistent safety standards, infrastructure reliability and efficient material handling systems. For logistics operators and industrial users, that operational history provides confidence in the building’s structural capability and layout efficiency.
For regional distribution businesses servicing the Winelands, Cape Town and broader Western Cape markets, this facility offers both scale and practical functionality.
Warehouse Specifications: Internal Height, Layout And Supporting Space
As you approach the property on Lambrechts Street, the scale becomes apparent. The ±7,900m² main warehouse includes ±6,000m² with 10-metre eaves height. For experienced logistics and warehousing operators, that internal height immediately signals opportunity.
Internal clearance supports:
- High-density racking
- Bulk storage
-
Efficient warehouse layouts
- Scalable configurations aligned with long-term growth
In addition, the property includes:
- ±3,150m² of undercover storage suitable for dispatch staging, overflow storage, or protected loading
- ±550m² of integrated office space within the operational footprint
- 200A three-phase power supply
The layout supports warehousing, logistics, distribution, assembly and light manufacturing, depending on tenant requirements.
Large Industrial Yard With Truck Articulation And Container Handling
The facility includes a substantial yard area designed to accommodate:
- Interlink truck articulation
- Container handling
- Staff and visitor parking
- Clear operational circulation between the warehouse and yard
For logistics and distribution operators, this yard capacity supports consistent inbound and outbound movement without operational bottlenecks.
Subdivision Potential: Two ±4,000m² Units
The main warehouse can be subdivided into two units of approximately ±4,000m² each, allowing flexibility in configuration and office-to-warehouse ratios.
This enables either a single large occupier or multiple tenants to secure space within Charleston Hill without compromising on internal height or yard functionality.
Very few industrial properties of this size in Paarl offer both scale and adaptability within one footprint.
Strategic Industrial Location Near The N1 In Paarl
Charleston Hill remains one of Paarl’s most established industrial areas, offering strong exposure between major arterial routes, including the Huguenot Bypass and Van Riebeeck Drive, along with efficient access to the N1 Highway.
From this location, businesses can service:
- Paarl and the Winelands
- Cape Town metro distribution routes
- Regional Western Cape corridors
For logistics networks, FMCG distributors and agri-related operators, the location supports regional reach while avoiding the congestion pressures found in inner-Cape industrial zones.
