Positioned directly opposite King Shaka International Airport and Dube TradePort, Whetstone Business Park is the closest privately owned business precinct to Durban’s new aerotropolis — and it’s redefining the future of logistics, manufacturing, and mixed-use development in KwaZulu-Natal.
Spanning over 815,000 m², Whetstone is a four-phased, master-planned business park zoned for light industrial, warehousing, retail, and petro port opportunities — making it one of the most strategically located developments in South Africa.
Major occupiers already operating within the park include:
Frimax Foods · Boxer Superstores Distribution Centre · Mazoparts · ProGov Flexibles · Liebherr Cranes · AH Grocers · Forest Grove · and Shell SA, who have developed a 12,000 m² flagship Petro Port featuring a Spar Express, KFC and Steers Drive-Thrus, Mugg & Bean, Tops, Tyre Fitment Centre, and dedicated Truck Fueling Station.
Demand for Phases 1 & 2 has been exceptional — with 88% of the land already sold and only a limited number of smaller sites remaining. Phases 3 & 4 are set to launch in July 2026.
As the first development within the new Durban Aerotropolis Precinct, Whetstone holds the bull’s-eye position in what will become the largest growth node in KwaZulu-Natal, spanning from Tongaat to Verulam and beyond Hazelmere Dam.
The Aerotropolis is set to become the future centre of Durban’s economy — a high-velocity logistics and commercial hub anchored by the airport, Dube TradePort, and leading local and international brands.
