This park is located at the heart of Paarden Eiland; a mixed-use industrial space. The story of Paarden Eiland’s turbulent founding is a testament to the vision and tenacity of the human spirit – and it’s a legacy we’re quite proud to be a part of.

Paarden Eiland before and after

A Brief History of Paarden Eiland

In the early 1900s Cape Town city planners decided that Paarden Eiland was a perfect location for industry. With this vision in mind, 1912 marked the start of the construction of Marine Drive, a road to establish trade in the area. The construction of this road was plagued by setbacks due to harsh conditions and heavy storms coming off the nearby sea.

Despite this, Paarden Eiland became recognised as an industrial node in 1935, after 23 years of trial and error. More than 100 years later, Paarden Eiland is the most sought-after industrial location in the Western Cape. And it’s through the spirit of Paarden Eiland’s founding that Island Works was built and continues to grow.

Island Works: A Park to be Proud of

This story is significant as entrepreneurs know a thing or two about the power of tenacity and vision. Island Works is a park that houses a diverse range of clients, bound together by the determination it takes to succeed. These clients take advantage of the ease of logistics, central location, safety, easy access, and support from our park managers to grow their business.

Housing a range of facilities to support clients to do business better – a flagship and cutting edge business centre (hub), an onsite café, dedicated centre manager and a range of spaces that benefit from wooden floors, large windows, roller shutter access and generous heights.
