Cardinal Properties has introduced Turnpike Industrial Park, a commercial development the company is calling a first of its kind for Zimbabwe, positioned to serve as a new logistics and manufacturing hub just outside the capital.
Located 29 kilometres from Harare’s central business district along Bulawayo Road, at the Turnpike turnoff near Lake Chivero, the park sits at a location that developers say offers genuine strategic value for businesses reliant on transport and distribution. Its position along one of Zimbabwe’s key national routes places it within easy reach of both Harare and the wider network of roads connecting the capital to Bulawayo and beyond, making it a natural fit for companies whose operations depend on moving goods efficiently.
What sets Turnpike Industrial Park apart, according to Cardinal Properties, is its layout. The development combines road-frontage stands with back-row stands, a design that allows businesses needing visibility and easy access from the main road to operate alongside those whose needs are more focused on space and functionality than street presence. That mix is intended to give the park broader appeal, catering to a wider range of business types within a single, unified development rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to commercial land.
The park is being marketed specifically toward manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and logistics companies, sectors that have increasingly sought out well-located industrial land as Zimbabwe’s commercial property market continues to evolve. For manufacturers, proximity to a major road artery can significantly reduce transport costs and delivery times, while distribution and logistics firms stand to benefit from the site’s positioning as a node between Harare and other key economic centres.
The development also reflects a broader trend in Zimbabwe’s property sector, where investors and developers have shown growing interest in industrial and commercial land situated outside congested urban centres. Sites like Turnpike, which offer proximity to a capital city without the space constraints and higher costs often associated with in-town industrial land, have become increasingly attractive to businesses looking to expand their footprint or relocate operations.
Cardinal Properties has positioned Turnpike Industrial Park as a long-term investment opportunity for businesses looking to establish or grow their presence in Zimbabwe’s transport and logistics sector. With its combination of accessible road frontage and flexible stand options, the development aims to offer companies a practical, well-located base from which to serve markets both within Harare and across the wider region.
Further details on stand availability and pricing are expected to be released as the development progresses.
