Airport Property is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of a five-year lease at 8 Montreal Drive, Airport Industria, 7490, secured by Guy de la Porte on behalf of the landlord. The deal represents a solid outcome for both parties and highlights the continued demand for well-located industrial premises in the Airport Industria node.

The Tenant: Metier Mixed Concrete (Pty) Ltd

The new tenant at 8 Montreal Drive is Metier Mixed Concrete (Pty) Ltd, a well-established name in the ready mixed concrete industry. Metier’s core business is the manufacture and supply of quality ready mixed concrete for the residential, commercial and industrial sectors across South Africa. More information on the company can be found on their website, metiersa.co.za.

Metier will be using the premises to house their offices, a workshop and a laboratory, making the property an integral part of their operational footprint in the Western Cape.

Transaction Details

The lease at 8 Montreal Drive is structured as follows:

  • Tenant: Metier Mixed Concrete (Pty) Ltd
  • Lease term: 5 years
  • Commencement date: 1 February 2026
  • Building size: 904m²
  • Monthly rental: R90,000 excluding VAT (approximately R100/m²)

A key feature of this deal is the inclusion of a large yard of 1,300m², which formed an integral part of the letting. For a business like Metier, whose operations depend on space for vehicles, materials and equipment, a generous yard is often just as important as the building itself. The combination of a functional 904m² building alongside a substantial yard made 8 Montreal Drive particularly well suited to the tenant’s particular requirements.

Why 8 Montreal Drive Worked for This Tenant

Airport Industria has long been a sought-after node for industrial and logistics occupiers, thanks to its proximity to the N2, Cape Town International Airport and the greater Cape Town metro. For a tenant such as Metier, whose business relies on the timeous manufacture and distribution of ready mixed concrete, location and yard space are non-negotiable requirements.

8 Montreal Drive ticked both boxes. The property offered a practical layout that could accommodate offices, a workshop and a laboratory under one roof, while the adjoining yard gave Metier the room needed to manage their fleet and materials efficiently. This combination made the property a strong fit from the outset, and negotiations proceeded smoothly as a result.

Location Connectivity

Airport Industria provides exceptional connectivity, positioned approximately 20km from Cape Town’s CBD and harbour with direct access to the N2/R300/M5 and easy access to other arterial routes. The area offers proximity to established labour markets and comprehensive public transport networks.

The property is located within five minutes of Cape Town International Airport, providing immediate access to air cargo facilities and international connectivity.

The property falls within the Airport Industria City Improvement District (CID), which delivers enhanced services including safety and security, urban maintenance, marketing support, and capital improvements beyond standard municipal services.

A Collaborative Deal

This transaction was concluded alongside API Property Group Cape Town, who brought the tenant to the table. Guy de la Porte worked closely with Marc Low Kee of the API Property Group Cape Town team throughout the process to structure a lease that suited both the landlord and Metier Mixed Concrete. This kind of collaboration between brokerages is common in the Cape Town industrial market and often results in quicker, more efficient deals for landlords and tenants alike.

Guy de la Porte, commenting on the transaction, noted that deals of this nature demonstrate the ongoing appetite for quality industrial space in the Airport Industria area, particularly where yard space and building configuration align closely with a tenant’s operational needs.
