BIG Properties aims to become a leading property investment company in South Africa

BIG Properties aims to become a leading property investment company by investing in commercial property to create value for all stakeholders BIG is 100% black-owned and 75% black women owned The founding shareholders’ background in property finance, capital raising investment banking and corporate finance uniquely position them to create long-term, sustainable value

Mission statement

BIG Properties’ commercial portfolio is biased in favour of established businesses that hold significant property assets, but whose core business is not property ownership. Through the acquisition of those properties, BIG Properties creates liquidity for those businesses and provides exceptional property management and facilities management services.

Property ownership is a thorny issue in South Africa in light of our history of deprivation of black people. BIG Properties envisages a South Africa where the acquisition of land is accessible to more South Africans. To that end, 40% of BIG Properties is owned by a broad-based trust that benefits black women to empower them to escape poverty.
