What we’re looking for

Two regions. One clear brief.

As part of the continued growth of the IGrow International Property Fund, we’re building a pipeline of development-ready residential land in South Africa’s two strongest metros.

Cape Town

Section 137

  • Residentially zoned land with strong development potential
  • Section 137 certification issued or in process
  • Subdivision and related planning approvals substantially progressed
  • Sites that are development-ready or approaching development readiness
Gauteng

Section 82

  • Residentially zoned land within the major metropolitan areas
  • Section 82 certification issued or in process
  • Township establishment and development approvals substantially progressed
  • Sites with services and development requirements sufficiently advanced

Our ideal opportunity

The hard part is done.
Now it’s time to build.

We’re particularly interested in land where the significant planning and regulatory hurdles have already been addressed. That lets IGrow deploy capital into real residential development while shortening the traditional lead time between acquisition and breaking ground.
