About Propertuity
Propertuity isn’t your conventional prop-
erty-development company. Using a
combination of architecture, art, design
and culture, these curators of lifestyle
re-energise
degenerated
neighbour-
hoods. Propertuity has its headquarters
in Johannesburg and a staff of 33, over-
seen by founder and CEO Jonathan Lieb-
mann, chief operations officer Neville
Bear, and financial director Ricky Luntz.
Funding partners include Nedbank (with
loan agreements in excess of R100-mil-
lion between both entities), the TUHF
Group of Companies (which focus on
urban regeneration, BEE and sustainable
business ventures) and Futuregrowth
(a specialist investment company that
manages investments in to sustainably
enrich the lives of all).
Maboneng Precinct. By 2013, the Propertu-
ity’s Maboneng Precinct portfolio encom-
passed 40 buildings.
Ken Reynolds, regional executive of
Nedbank Corporate Property Finance, which
is funding the project, says: “The funding
illustrates our commitment to the regener-
ation of South Africa’s urban environments,
which we believe Propertuity has achieved
admirably through its Maboneng Precinct,
and we have no doubt that Hallmark House
will add value to the precinct.”
The Hallmark House project is being
managed to global standards by consulting
engineers ARUP, and MACE Group are the
project managers.
