Durban North Area Profile

The Durban North region is situated just north of Durban’s Umgeni River and is made up of a diverse mix of commercial, industrial and residential zones. The location between Durban and Umhlanga makes it a great location for businesses needing access to both areas and those not wanting to be directly in the hustle and bustle of the larger commercial nodes.

Broadway and Umhlanga Rocks Drive

The majority of commercial space in Durban North is located in the Broadway precinct (Swapo Road) and along Umhlanga Rocks Drive. Broadway is an active commercial node consisting of a variety of retail, service, medical and office spaces. A number of former residential properties around Swapo Road are now zoned for commercial use or operating under special consent, providing a good offering of standalone options for those businesses looking for more privacy and autonomy.

There are a number of small shopping centres and convenience centres along Umhlanga Rocks drive, providing many amenities and conveniences for businesses and residents based in the Durban North area.

North Coast Road

The North Coast Road area, including Glen Anil and Red Hill is predominantly home to service and light industrial operations. One will also find businesses ranging from plumbing suppliers and panelbeaters to vehicle sales and signage companies. There are numerous industrial parks throughout Durban North offering a range of industrial units to lease or purchase. North Coast Road (R102) enjoys easy access to the N2 and M4 and is just minutes from Riverhorse Valley and Umhlanga.
