The latest developments in the competitive and changing retail landscape will be charted at the South African Council of Shopping Centres (SACSC) 17^th Annual Congress, the continent’s premier retail event.

Today saw the official launch of the Rugby development by the City of Cape Town, Nedbank and developer, Inframax.  

The 6th annual Green Building Council Convention - is officially open for registration.

By November 2013, the fast-growing community of Tembisa in the East Rand will enjoy convenient access to a host of national stores and local retailers, thanks to the development of the Tembisa MegaMart, for which Nedbank is providing  R238 million funding.

Transformation within the property industry and the growth of the listed property sector in South Africa is set to receive impetus following the finalisation of a R45 million loan agreement between Nedbank Corporate Property Finance and Ascension Properties Limited.

Nedbank has approved a R150 million loan to Proventus Property (Pty) Ltd, providing takeover finance for a R310 million portfolio of properties within the group. 

An effective public and private sector partnership between Nedbank, a local developer and the City of Cape Town has resulted in the development of much needed new affordable housing in the suburbs of Rugby and Silvertown. 

THE South African listed property sector has seen a number of new listings over the past 18 months with historically low interest rates creating a conducive environment for new property vehicles.

After several years of strong price growth in the listed property sector, most property pundits believe we can expect slower — albeit solid — growth this year from listed property stocks. Nevertheless there are still major opportunities for investors who want an investment that offers a steady income stream.

Leading black-owned IT distribution group, MB Technologies (MBT), is to acquire a turn-key development for its operating companies through custom finance supplied by Nedbank Corporate Property Finance.
