2<\/span>025 marked another milestone year for the OR Tambo International Airport Special Economic Zone<\/strong> (OR Tambo SEZ<\/strong><\/a>) as the Gauteng Industrial Development Zone (GIDZ) officially launched its ORTIA Precinct 2 development<\/strong>. Spanning an impressive 265 000 square metres, this new precinct signals a significant expansion of Gauteng Province\u2019s largest airport-based Special Economic Zone and reinforces the province\u2019s competitive destination for advanced manufacturing and export-oriented investment.<\/p>\n

The launch of ORTIA Precinct 2 builds on the proven success of Precinct 1, a 7.5-hectare development that has already attracted nearly R1-billion in private investment and facilitated the creation of more than 2 500 operational jobs.<\/p>\n

This strong foundation has bolstered investor confidence and demonstrated the catalytic power of industrial development anchored around Africa\u2019s busiest airport.<\/p>\n

Scaling up for more growth and impact<\/h3>\n

The economic impact of ORTIA Precinct 2 is expected to be even more significant. Current projections indicate the creation of over 6 000 operational jobs once the precinct is fully functional. The development is set to contribute over R4-billion to the national GDP and generate an estimated 7 557 construction-phase jobs, highlighting its potential to stimulate both short-term and long-term economic activity.<\/p>\n

For the Gauteng IDZ, a subsidiary of the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency<\/a> (GGDA) and developer of the OR Tambo SEZ, these projections reinforce confidence in its ability to deliver a globally competitive industrial ecosystem. Following the successful delivery of Precinct 1, which measures 62 000m\u00b2, the organisation now enters a new phase of expansion with advanced expertise and capability.<\/p>\n
