The series brings together industry voices to examine how South African Residential Rental can be better understood, better measured and more confidently allocated to by institutional investors in South Africa.
As South Africa’s multifamily residential sector has matured, lenders have developed a deeper understanding of its demand profile, diversified income streams and operating requirements.
In the final episode of the SAMRRA Multifamily Series, Palesa Mkhize speaks to Justin Blend from Africrest Properties and Amelia Dieperink from Standard Bank about the role of debt funding in supporting the sector’s growth.
They discuss the factors lenders consider when evaluating residential rental projects, including location, construction quality, property management, sponsor experience and the ability to deliver the right product at an appropriate price point.

The model behind investable residential rental
Institutional residential rental is supported by more than the underlying property. Its performance depends on the strength of the operating platform behind it.
