Fortress REIT Ltd is a property group of diverse proportions. The company operates as a capital investment trust that focuses on prime logistic warehousing, which it leases out to corporate tenants over long lease periods. This Johannesburg based powerhouse operates mainly within logistics, which consists of around 42% of their effort. Logistics is shortly followed by retail (35%), industrial (13%) and office (10%) properties.

Fortress CEO, Mark Stevens, says that the company’s time investment percentages are a key marker as to the future they see in the sector. He strongly believes that South Africa’s rural retail space is of significant future importance.

A key example of Fortress’s investment efforts can be seen in projects such as the Clairwood Logistics park. This R4 billion project in KZN is expected to be fully operational by 2025 and stands as a proud measure of the company’s prowess.

The property sector has been a formidable force in almost any era. Modern ages are certainly no exception, with increased need for development as the sector grows as rapidly as ever. Success within this sector requires a strong and extensive portfolio that is backed by standout project investments. The trust operates in the big leagues, this fact, being backed by their latest big money involvement in projects such as Eastport Logistics Park, Clairwood Logistics Park, Cornubia Ridge Logistics Park and Long Lake Logistics Park. These projects are billions of Rands strong, a fact that makes Fortress a serious big guy in the property investment sector. Fortress has also seen increasing success in retail properties, with significant projects such as the Galleria mall and Weskus Mall being holdings of note. Fortress REIT Ltd is a diverse company with significant experience within a developing and flourishing market. The company continues to invest into successful major corporate ventures on an impressive scale.

Fortress Reit Ltd has seen recent changes within the board of directors. Rual Bornman resigned as financial director, effectively on 2 July and is succeeded by Steven Brown – who is been appointed as the new financial director, with effect on 2 July. Even though ill health was cited as the reason for his departure, Rual Bornman has vowed to continue making his financial expertise available to the company. This smooth handover should see stock prices even out again, even though trends have been down slightly this quarter.

Fortress has reported a distribution per fortress B share will be about 179 cents per share, which will be a 5% growth increase in 2019 as compared to 2018.

Fortress has shown no sign of slowing down significant investment projects. This aggressive investment spirit promises even further growth for the projected future of the company.

Recent interest in South Africa from the UAE also promises to boost the entire South African economy, which will boost involvement and need for significant projects. An overhaul in South African presidency also provides positive trends, especially considering the new president is a driven businessman.
