Airport Property is pleased to announce the successful letting of Unit 2 Central Park, a 238m² industrial unit situated at 40 Manhattan Street, Airport Industria 2, 7490. The deal was concluded by broker Guy de la Porte, and sees national mobility brand Online Vehicle Rentals move into the park on a two-year lease commencing 1 February 2026.

The Deal

The lease for Unit 2 Central Park was signed at a monthly rental of R22,879 excluding VAT, working out to R96/m². The two-year term gives the new tenant a solid base of operations in one of the Western Cape’s most sought-after industrial nodes, close to Cape Town International Airport and the surrounding logistics and distribution hub.

Guy de la Porte, who negotiated the transaction on behalf of Airport Property, said the deal reflects continued demand for well-located, functional industrial space in the Airport Industria precinct. “Central Park continues to attract quality tenants because it ticks all the boxes: good access, solid specifications, and a secure environment. This deal with Online Vehicle Rentals is a great example of the kind of tenant that suits this park well,” he said.

About Central Park

Central Park is a neat, centrally located industrial park made up of five units, ranging in size from 238m² to 510m². Unit 2 Central Park forms part of this well-managed offering, and comes equipped with the same practical features found across the park.

Each unit at Central Park features a high roller shutter door, making loading and unloading straightforward for tenants running logistics or storage operations. A dedicated office component is included in every unit, giving tenants a proper workspace for administrative functions alongside their operational area. All units are fitted with three-phase power, ensuring there’s enough electrical capacity to support industrial-type operations.

Security is a priority at the park, with two remote-controlled gates controlling access to the premises. There is also ample on-site parking, catering comfortably for both staff and visiting clients.

Unit 2 Central Park’s combination of size, specification and location makes it a practical fit for a range of industrial and light logistics users, as this latest deal demonstrates.

Why Airport Industria Continues to Draw Tenants

Airport Industria remains a popular choice for businesses that need to be close to Cape Town International Airport, whether for logistics, distribution, vehicle-related operations, or general industrial use. Parks like Central Park offer tenants the practical features they need, from roller shutter doors and three-phase power to secure, controlled access, without the premium pricing sometimes attached to newer developments further from the airport node.
