Serving Institutional Investors
and Private Developers

Maru Group works alongside listed funds, private investors, landowners, and major retailers across Botswana, Zambia, and South Africa.

Institutional Clients

We act for listed property funds, private equity real estate platforms, and corporate occupiers requiring professional advisory and transactional support across the SADC region. Our mandates have included the disposal of major office assets on behalf of JSE-listed entities, lease structuring with national anchor tenants, and ongoing asset and property management for institutional portfolios.

Private Developers & Landowners

We work closely with private landowners and developers who require a structured, end-to-end partner — from feasibility and concept through to leasing, construction oversight, and asset management. Our development pipeline reflects our ability to take a project from raw land to income-producing asset.
