Retail opportunities abound in peri-urban areas

Peri-urban areas have immense opportunities for investment in commercial properties, such as shopping complexes and warehouses for retailers, says 100% black-owned property development, management and investments company Akani Properties MD Zamani Letjane. “We saw opportunities in the property sector, and coincidentally, we took over a client’s property portfolio, which was then administered under our retirement fund administration company. We then separated the properties and registered Akani Properties to develop and manage.”
