What is this investment all about?
This investment gives you the chance to co-finance a luxury four-unit development in Bryanston East, one of Joburg’s most prestigious suburbs.
But here’s the twist:
You’re not buying a finished apartment or collecting rental income.
You’re investing like a developer - providing upfront capital to help get the project off the ground, with potential returns linked to the project’s success.
Think: less landlord, more lender.

We’re raising a total of R5.2 million, split as follows:
- R5.1 million is loaned to the developers:
R4.5 million is used to buy the land.
- R600,000 goes towards site preparation (walls, internal roads, bulk services, etc.)
- R100,000 covers legal and structuring fees - including deal setup, investor protection, and transaction management.
This deal is structured to give you a mix of steady income potential and a share in any upside — if the development performs well:
- R2.25 million earns 12% annual interest
→ Works like a home loan. If all goes to plan, the developer repays it in instalments with interest. Simple and predictable.
- R2.85 million is interest-free, but gives you access to a share of any profits once the homes are sold and transferred:
→ If the project sells successfully, investors are first in line for R1.3 million in potential profits - before the developer earns a return.
And here’s the kicker:
If the project underperforms, the developer absorbs the loss before investor returns are affected - giving your capital an extra layer of protection.
The projected return is 15.28% XIRR, net of fees.
This is based on current forecasts - but, as with any development, real-world outcomes can vary.
Your investment pays out as the project reaches key milestones, triggered by the transfer of each stand:
- After the second stand transfers
→ The first loan portion (R2.25m) plus interest, is expected to be repaid.
- After the third stand transfers
→ The second loan portion (R2.85m) is repaid (potentially with profit distribution).
- After the fourth stand transfers
→ The facilitation fee is paid out (from profits), and final dividends are distributed.
Each payout is proportional to your investment, and will appear in your EasyProperties account as a dividend distribution.
Distributions depend on project progress and sales performance - there’s no fixed schedule or guarantee.
This deal has several built-in protections - but it's still a higher-risk opportunity compared to traditional rental-based investments.
- Mortgage-backed: EasyProperties holds a first mortgage bond over the property until all stands are transferred and repaid. If the project stalls, EasyProperties can take ownership and sell it to recover funds.
- Controlled spend: Project funds are held in a joint account, and only disbursed with dual sign-off from EasyProperties and the developer.
- Performance buffer: If profits are lower than forecast, the developer absorbs the shortfall before investors are impacted.
- Active oversight: A joint committee (EasyProperties + Andev) oversees budget, sales, and spend decisions - meaning you’re not just funding, you’re part of a tightly managed investment structure.
These measures reduce risk - but do not eliminate it. As with any development, delays, cost overruns, or sales challenges may affect outcomes.
This is a medium-term opportunity, designed with a timeline of 18 to 24 months.
There’s no secondary market for this investment, so you’ll need to stay in until the final stand transfers and all payouts are complete.
Unlike a traditional rental property, you’re not waiting on tenants - you’re waiting on sales milestones, with repayments made as each unit transfers.

Hamilton Enclosure, Eccleston Crescent - Bryanston’s blue-chip heartland.
Top-tier product
Only four bespoke homes, each 398+ sqm, with pools, triple garages, and premium finishes. Designed by SPS Architects.
Strong sales strategy
Plot-and-plan model means buyers fund their own home builds after purchasing the land - reducing the capital burden on the developer and unlocking returns sooner.
Experienced developer
Andev Properties has a strong residential track record, including Passfields and Auria Senior Living estates.
Like any property development, this investment comes with risk - but the deal is designed to mitigate those risks as far as possible:
| ⚠️ Risk | ✅ Mitigation |
| Delays or failure to sell | There is a mortgage over the land - if the project stalls, EasyProperties can sell it to recover your investment. |
| Price risk | Homes are competitively priced for the Bryanston market (R13–R16 million), based on comparables. |
| Budget overruns | Joint committee oversight + dual signatory fund control ensure financial discipline. |
| Capital loss | Developer absorbs the first loss if profits fall short - but there’s still a risk of lower-than-expected return. |
This is a higher-risk, higher-potential investment. It’s ideal for investors who:
- Want to explore property investment opportunities beyond traditional rentals
- Understand the risks of property development
- Can stay invested for 18–24 months without needing early access to funds
- Are comfortable that returns are not guaranteed
It’s not for everyone, but for the right investor? It’s a smart, structured way to back a premium project - with skin in the game and upside on the table.
