The International Real Estate Federation has agreed to arrange a trade mission to SA following a recent international roadshow by local commercial property association Sapoa.
Sapoa says it and the national housing department have agreed on a joint working relationship to tackle problems surrounding housing delivery, infrastructure and the backlog in rezoning applications.
South African commercial property association Sapoa's 2005 president TC Chetty is a town planner whose vision has contributed to changing Umhlanga, north of Durban, from sugar-cane fields into the property success story of the decade.
Commercial property association Sapoa has announced two new black appointments to its board of directors as part of its transformation plans.
The international division of construction and management consultants Turner & Townsend has won the group's Queen's Award for Enterprise. This recognises exceptional high standards of service in every country in which T&T operates.
