About Urban Growth

Investing in Communities

At the heart of Urban Growth is our ability to give back to society. We have a number of charities and community ventures that we support.

“Our purpose is to provide enriching educational camp experiences for children from under-resourced communities, where they develop values and life skills that will positively impact the trajectory of their lives.”

Sans Souci Girls High and Golf Played

At the heart of Urban Growth is the development of the communities in the surrounding areas and throughout Cape Town. Most notably has been the recent development and support for the Bridges Retreat Centre and Sans Souci Girls High School among other various developments.

Urban Growth plays a strategic role in their growth and development.
