Leo Factories

Leo Factories | Industrial Complex | Diep River, Cape Town

Property Overview

Leo Factories is a well-established multi-unit industrial complex situated at 1 Leo Road, Diep River, in Cape Town's Southern Suburbs. The complex comprises approximately 20 sectional title units, each offering a practical and consistently sized footprint of between 107 m² and 108 m², making it one of the more uniform industrial parks in the immediate area.
