The team behind Northbay Office Park’s transformation

Written on September 11, 2026
Eugene Smith


The transformation taking place at Northbay Office Park in Ermelo continues to bring new energy to Border Street and the town’s industrial area. With the development progressing and BUCO set to become part of this growing commercial precinct, the area is steadily taking on a new life and creating a fresh chapter for this part of Ermelo.

Behind the buildings, infrastructure and visible progress is a much bigger team of professionals, contractors, suppliers and local businesses. A project of this scale is only possible through the combined effort, expertise and commitment of those working behind the scenes. Northbay Office Park Ermelo and the company driving the development have expressed their sincere gratitude to every individual and business that has played a part in bringing the project to life.

The progress at Northbay Office Park represents far more than the work visible from Border Street. Every structure, service and completed section reflects the contribution of a wider team. Without these businesses, contractors and individuals working together, the development would simply not be possible.

Northbay Office Park Ermelo and the company behind the development extend their sincere appreciation to each member of the team for helping turn the vision for the site into reality and, in doing so, helping breathe new life into Ermelo’s industrial area.
