About Durban

Durban is located in KwaZulu-Natal and functions as a core commercial node linked by established regional roads and national highway routes. It connects directly to surrounding municipal areas and provides transit access via public transport networks, including taxi ranks and bus routes. King Shaka International Airport lies roughly thirty kilometres away, supporting freight and business travel to the broader economic region.

Commercial property in the area consists of standard retail spaces and multi-tenant nodes, with well-known properties including Redefine Towers, Salisbury Centre, Durban Bay House, Davenport Square, Musgrave Centre, Perm Smith Street, 320 Pixley, and Perm Building. The building stock accommodates high-street retail, neighbourhood convenience stores, and service outlets. It sits alongside neighbouring commercial markets such as Pinetown, Umhlanga, Umlazi, Amanzimtoti, Newcastle, Berea, Pietermaritzburg, and Westmead, offering tenants an established alternative to suburban decentralised parks.
