Welcome to Property Development Leasing

PDL & Associates serves as the core management and brokerage division of the business, delivering tailored property solutions to a diverse client base.

As of 2025, PDL & Associates has further evolved to offer specialised services in the rejuvenation and repositioning of retail assets within shopping centres, alongside its ongoing brokerage activities across the commercial, retail, and industrial property markets.

We work closely with a broad spectrum of clients, including private property owners, institutional investors, and listed property funds. Our expertise spans the sale of property assets, tenant procurement, lease structuring, and vacancy reduction strategies. In addition, we support both national and regional businesses in sourcing strategic commercial premises to buy or lease.

OUR VISION

At PDL & Associates, our vision is to be the preferred service provider of cost-effective facilities management and property solutions for commercial, retail, and industrial enterprises across South Africa.

We also aim to support existing businesses in reassessing their operational space requirements. By offering expert advice in space planning and utilisation, we help clients reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and adapt to changing market conditions.

At the core of our philosophy is the belief that every property holds untapped potential. As towns and cities evolve, the use and function of property assets must evolve with them. We work collaboratively with property owners to reassess, reposition, and repurpose assets for optimal performance—ensuring alignment with both market demands and community needs.

Through strategic market identification, targeted marketing strategies, and a commitment to excellence in execution, we strive to enhance the value of our clients’ property portfolios while contributing to the broader vision of urban regeneration and economic resilience.
