Our Purpose
SAREIT promotes South African REITs as an investment class both locally and internationally while addressing issues and meeting challenges within the sector.
The SA REIT Association (SAREIT) was founded in 2013, following the introduction of the REIT structure in South Africa to represent the interest of the SA listed property sector. The Association is modelled on NAREIT (National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) in the United States and EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) in Europe.
We are a representative umbrella body incorporating voluntary members of all local REITs and lead by an elected executive team focused on promoting the sector as an attractive asset class.
SAREIT’s key objectives are to:
Engage across industry
Ensure constant engagement with legislators, regulators, other business associations, investors
and other stakeholders to establish a stable, conducive policy and business environment.
Strengthen relationships with investors
Build relationships with investors and capital providers to deeper understanding of relevant issues.
The Association’s Executive Team and Committee Members include experienced and knowledgeable individuals to fulfill the various committees’ mandates.
The elected Executive Team is responsible for the planning and execution of the Association’s strategic objectives.
