Strijdompark Area Profile
Strijdompark: A Strategic Industrial Hub in the Heart of Randburg
Strijdompark is a dynamic industrial and commercial precinct nestled in Johannesburg’s Randburg region, Gauteng.

The area combines industrial facilities, commercial offices, and a wealth of amenities such as shopping centres, gyms, and schools, supporting a productive and convenient work environment.
History of Strijdompark
Named after former South African Prime Minister JG Strijdom, the area’s transformation began in the 1970s with the Randburg Racecourse development, which later evolved into a modern office park. This redevelopment spurred the growth of Strijdompark as a significant industrial and commercial hub, now home to a variety of office and warehouse spaces.
