In 2025, IGrow acquired approximately 3000 properties worth just over R2 billion in residential stock, with the projected need for 2026 exceeding 4500 residential units (approx. R3,5 billion).
Our acquisition model has proven successful with partners such as Emira Property Fund / Transcend, IHS and Redefine, Afhco and Calgro, alongside a number of large national developers.
Two of our most recent acquisitions included portfolios of 302 and 242 units respectively, acquired from two of South Africa’s leading REITs and investment funds.
IGrow is able to transact at a slightly lower acquisition cap rate, potentially saving sellers millions of rands when compared to more aggressive pricing requirements from traditional institutional funds.
This is made possible by our vertically integrated ecosystem, which includes:
This holistic platform enables us to control the full value chain, reduce frictional costs, and deliver certainty of execution.
IGrow is agile, with our Exco and Investment Committee aligned to sellers’ urgency and key transaction milestones. Our due diligence runs concurrently with the contract period, unlike many listed funds that only commence financing after lengthy due diligence processes are concluded.
This approach results in a time saving of 4-6 months or more, which can be critical to a project’s financial outcome. The time value of money is especially important for developers who have completed construction and are servicing development finance while holding unsold stock. In such cases, IGrow effectively accelerates the exit timeline, reducing funding pressure and risk.
In other instances, we support developers at the outset of a project by assisting with the required pre-sales needed to unlock development finance. This allows developers to focus fully on construction, without the added pressure of market conditions, sales, and marketing — a value proposition that has proven invaluable to our partners.
