Eerste Rivier (Alpine Mews)

An independent social impact study, conducted by the University of Cape Town, found that the high-quality and well-located housing developed by our first multi-investor fund (“SAWHF”) had had a profound impact on the lives and overall welfare of the residents. Over 72% of the households polled said their lives had improved significantly.

The investments created a significant number of jobs, the vast majority of which were filled by previously disadvantaged individuals and 10% by women.
Over the life of the fund, the study estimated that 100,000 jobs would be created, many of which are expected to become permanent.
Almost all of the previously disadvantaged workers employed by our projects were unskilled and came from the local communities in which our developments are located.
The fund investments have unlocked major public sector funding through infrastructure, subsidies and guarantees.
Over three-quarters of the fund capital was invested in low-income areas.

Job Creation

The impact of the fund equates to jobs for more than 4000 people at present, of whom 85% are considered previously disadvantaged and 10% are women.
An independent report estimates that 100 000 jobs will be created over the life of the fund, of which 5 000 per annum are expected to become permanent.
Almost all of the previously disadvantaged workers who were employed in our projects were unskilled and came from the local communities in which our developments are located.

Economic Growth & Development

The SAWHF has investments valued at more than $230 million, and we have unlocked major public sector funding through infrastructure, subsidies and guarantees.
82% of our funds are invested in low-income areas.
