Steven started Heriot Properties in South Africa in 1998, operating out of a small 50m² office. Today, 20 years later, the business operates from a 700m² office and employs over 30 people. He led investments into industrial property where covenants were of a blue-chip nature and the leases ensured sustainable long term cash flows. Through the relationships formed from these strong covenants, Heriot continued to acquire a number of industrial properties throughout South Africa, all anchored by these blue-chip tenants. In 2003, Steven put a team of professionals together and started constructing retail shopping centres, focusing on the CBD’s, rural and township areas.
