Innovative investment model makes property ownership in Cape Town more accessible
Property development company Neighbourgood recently announced the launch of a Cape Town property co-ownership initiative. The initiative lowers the barrier to entry to as little as R100,000 for fractional property investment in desirable and upmarket Cape Town suburbs including Green Point and Camps Bay.
Neighbourgood CEO Murray Clark, says that this unique co-ownership initiative allows local residents as well as people from across South Africa and the world to invest in Cape Town property at a price point that is more accessible. He adds that the properties themselves are also created to foster positive social and economic outcomes in the areas in which they are situated.
“Neighbourgood spaces offer a unique blend of short and medium-stay rentals for digital nomads and remote workers from across the world and are designed to foster stronger, more sustainable communities,” says Clark. Neighbourgood currently operates 10 locations across the city, including eight vibrant living spaces/hotels and two dynamic workspaces, with more to come.
The company focuses on acquiring underperforming hotels, guest houses, and homes at a discount to market and through an adaptive reuse model that drives a combination of co-living, working, and lifestyle themes, is able to bring the property back to life. Clark says that the value created through the process is then shared with co-investors who own a share in the company which owns each property.
"This co-ownership initiative is more than a clever investment opportunity – it's a chance for property investors to build a property portfolio in the best and most desirable neighbourhoods in Cape Town that offers a competitive return in hybrid spaces designed for a growing market of digital nomads and remote workers who now call Cape Town home”.
“It’s a completely unique product offering that is working exceptionally well and at its core, embraces building communities and lasting networks between people”.
