Skyway Business Park is a modern commercial development situated in Strydompark, one of Johannesburg's most established business and light industrial nodes. The park provides businesses with a secure and accessible operating environment close to major arterial routes.
The property accommodates a combination of commercial, warehousing and service-oriented businesses that operate primarily during daylight hours. Strydompark remains a sought-after location for companies requiring convenient access to Randburg and greater Johannesburg.
Increasing electricity costs and a high daytime load profile made solar energy a practical investment for the property. The installed solar PV system now generates clean energy on-site, reducing operating costs and improving energy efficiency across the facility.
