How large-scale developers are transforming the landscape

While the Sandton CBD has been dubbed ‘Africa’s richest square mile’, a few kilometres down the road lies Morningside, an upmarket suburb that is attracting a great deal of interest from property developers and broader Gauteng residents.

Historically a quiet area, Morningside is beginning to witness the same growth surge that the upscale Sandton CBD saw many years ago.  Gauteng as a whole has long been a hotbed for economic growth and development, and Morningside has emerged as a key player in this dynamic landscape.

It’s not only residential developers that are taking advantage of this demand. Commercial property developers have quickly begun moving into the area to identify, secure and build on prime locations to capitalise on the burgeoning region. One such example is Stor-Age, South Africa’s largest and most trusted self-storage company, which recently opened another self-storage facility last month. Located on Rivonia Road, this R125m property investment in Morningside will unlock employment opportunities and facilitate small business development in the area. The store empowers individuals and companies to embrace growth, simplify their operations and optimise their living and working spaces with ease.

With space becoming quite a commodity in Morningside, Stor-Age has homed in on a practical solution by meeting residents’ need for convenient, risk-free space. The company offers individuals flexible lease options, a model that moves away from more traditional storage options, which allows residents and businesses to access space for as short or as long as they need.

The opening of Stor-Age’s latest facility adds to the growing number of sleek, state-of-the-art developments in Morningside. It will be interesting to see what other unique developments are next to open in the area.
