Urbanisation rates are increasing at almost 5% annually. In Cape Town alone, that means 350,000 more economically active people are coming into the city every year (as of 2020).
There’s a need for Grade-A, eco-friendly industrial properties to service the diverse range of tenants that are moving in, from local start-ups to established international companies. And Urban Growth is fulfilling this need.
We’re a premier independent property investment company based in South Africa, and we specialise in large-scale Supply Chain Logistics Industrial Properties.
Over the past 15 years we’re proud to say we’ve emerged as a visionary force in property investment, focusing on revitalising existing properties and creating new urban landmarks within the commercial and industrial arenas. Our initiatives are not just about expansion, they’re about innovation and sustainability.
We’re committed to responsible and eco-friendly developments, and to creating a fully ‘off-the-grid’, A-grade industrial portfolio in the Western Cape. We integrate green building principles and clean energy solutions in our projects ensuring minimal environmental impact while maximising economic returns.
An example of this is the solar photovoltaic (PV) plant installed at a packaging manufacturer based at the Somerset West Business Park. The 1,880 solar panels fitted are expected to reduce demand for Eskom-supplied electricity likely reducing stages of loadshedding affecting the Helderberg area. This will have a significantly positive impact on small business and the community.
Our people and strategic partners are world-class property professionals who maximise the human and investment capital returns on the projects we choose to participate in. By leveraging our expertise and these collaborations, as with Bastion Real Estate Partnership, we aim to expand our footprint both in South Africa and internationally, targeting high-growth logistics hubs.
Our partnership with Bastion also enhances our ability to finance large-scale projects further strengthening our capacity to deliver high-quality, sustainable industrial properties. This allows investors to own a piece of beautiful Cape Town knowing it’s a fortified investment with stable, consistent returns. It’s a win-win for all.

We’re dedicated to developing spaces that foster growth and prosperity for both people and businesses. Work with us, and you’ll see we aim to exceed our client’s expectations by providing environments tailored to their specific needs, contributing to the economic value of urbanisation in South Africa.
Urban Growth operates on principles of fairness, integrity, and a commitment to excellence. We believe in making principle-based decisions and maintaining a long-term, partnership-driven investment approach.
We have a long, successful history in development, but looking forward, we have decided to focus our services in 2 key areas:
The drive to an urban renaissance and the building of eco-friendly towns at the urban edge, are crucial for the continued growth of ever expanding cities. We understand the importance of responsible densification and better use of public assets. And so, as we expand our portfolio, our focus will remain on enhancing the economic value of our properties while promoting green urban growth with a particular investment in solar energy.
Our aim is to continue to set new standards in the real estate sector with forward-thinking strategies. We want to shape the future of industrial real estate, and offer sustainable spaces to people and businesses looking for an environment where their specific requirements are not only met, but exceeded – places where they can both grow and prosper.
