Most developers cash out and walk away. We design, own and manage every estate — which is why our facilities are the ones residents actually use.
Africrest develops, owns and manages every estate entirely for rentals — for the modern South African.
Our above-industry-average lease renewal rates aren't a marketing line. They're the only number that matters in residential property, and they're the reason 9 out of 10 of our tenants would recommend us to a friend.
We focus on five fundamentals — security, value-for-money, service, facilities, location — and we deliver all five at every building, in every area we operate. From Sandton to Marshalltown, the standard doesn't change.
If your circumstances change mid-lease, you can move to any of our other estates penalty-free. We don't make money on your inconvenience.
Every Africrest estate is built around the same five fundamentals — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
Access control, 24-hour security and CCTV surveillance at every estate. Your safety is our priority.
Rent that includes water, internet, and the use of facilities most residents would never afford alone.
On-site teams at every building. Maintenance issues resolved in under 24 hours on average.
Pool, gym, business centre, café, cinema. Built for residents, not for show.
Walking distance to what matters — work, transport, shops, restaurants. We don't build in dead zones.
Every Africrest building is purpose-built as a rental estate — not converted, not subdivided from a sold-off block. That changes everything.
Our facilities are designed to be used daily by 100+ residents, not staged for showings. Our buildings stay under one management — no body corporate politics, no absent landlords, no inconsistent maintenance.
And because we own every unit, our incentives match yours. Empty apartments cost us money. Unhappy tenants don't renew. Every business decision flows from those two facts.

Because Africrest owns and manages every building, we allow residents to move across the portfolio instead of locking them into one location.
New job. New area. New situation. We move you.
The numbers we lead with are the ones our residents care about — not the ones we picked.

One of the things that has impressed me most about Africrest is how responsive they are to our queries. We always receive a reply promptly and they actually care about making us feel comfortable in our home. Unlike most landlords, we are treated like a valued resident, rather than just another tenant.Zinhle JacobsThe Maestro · Sandton
I did not expect to make so many friends with my neighbours. I feel like I am part of a special community. The events the team puts on each month genuinely bring people together.Cindy AdamsThe Galileo · Bryanston
