INVESTMENTS

In April 2019, Canaf’s wholly owned subsidiary, Canaf Estate Holdings (“CEH”), was launched.

​

CEH’s strategy is to invest in properties primarily within the suburbs of the old Johannesburg CBD; an area that is benefitting from significant investment and regeneration projects. The Corporation sees investment in real estate in these suburban areas as an opportunity to acquire properties that should experience significant capital growth, whilst yielding healthy rental returns.  CEH is focused on investment within the Makers Valley district with whom it partners for some of its socio and economic development programs and donations.

​

The vision for CEH is to acquire, refurbish and redevelop, and lease properties targeting the affordable housing market, with the goal to purchase enough critical mass to uplift the entire area, thereby growing the capital value of the properties in the area.

 

CEH currently owns 9 properties with a book value of approximately R15.0 million, as of July 31, 2024.  Canaf’s goal is to continue to grow the portfolio whilst achieving pre-tax yields in excess of 12.5% per annum.
