Aylebruy Properties – Oakdale

Number of Units & Their Sizes

Typical Configuration

Aylesbury is often marketed as a multi-tenanted commercial/light-industrial complex. It can have anywhere from a few to a dozen or more units, depending on how spaces are sub-divided.

Approximate Sizes

- Office and showroom sections can range from 100 m² to 250 m² per unit.

- Light-industrial or warehouse bays can range 200 m² up to 500 m² (or more) if units are combined.

Sub-Division

Each unit typically includes a reception/office component plus a larger open area (for storage, light assembly, or similar) and may feature a roller shutter door if it’s a warehouse section.

Security

Access Control & Perimeter

Most multi-tenant parks in Oakdale have fenced perimeters, security gates, and sometimes a 24-hour security presence or security personnel patrolling, especially after hours.

Surveillance

Common areas usually have CCTV cameras monitoring entrances, parking, and shared driveways.

Tenant Access

Larger complexes may require tag or access card entry for tenants and visitors after hours, or they rely on a security guard sign-in process.

Fibre Availability

The Bellville/Oakdale area is generally well-covered by major fibre providers. Tenants can often arrange business-grade fibre with symmetrical upload/download speeds if the building is “fibre-ready” or has existing infrastructure.

Many commercial/industrial properties in the northern suburbs are installing or have installed diesel generators or solar + inverter setups to mitigate load shedding.
