Twenty years of developing the spaces Gauteng's logistics and industry need
KLD is a South African commercial and industrial property developer based in Pomona, Kempton Park. We develop P-grade warehousing, logistics facilities and light-industrial parks in Gauteng's busiest trade corridors. We focus on the R21 Aerotropolis belt, the Pomona industrial node and the logistics corridors around OR Tambo International Airport.
We have been at this for more than 20 years. In that time we have developed, let and managed facilities for some of the most demanding tenants in South African logistics and industry, from global freight forwarders to specialist manufacturers. We do it the same way every time. We pick sites tenants need to be on, we develop to P-grade specification and we stay close to the tenants that occupy our schemes.
In 2026 we moved from KL Development to KLD, a shorter brand name that reflects how our tenants, brokers and partners already refer to us. The legal entity, KL Development (Pty) Ltd, remains unchanged. The brand is sharper, the focus is clearer and the next 20 years start now.
