1994 saw the beginning of a new era for South Africa. It was the birth of our country as a new, true democracy and the whole world was waiting in anticipation to see to what levels the Rainbow Nation would rise. From our South African roots, Atterbury has branched out across Africa and was a founding shareholder in Atterbury Europe.

1994 also marked the birth of Atterbury and the founders, Francois van Niekerk and Louis van der Watt, realised that there were no limits to their dreams of becoming an international force to be reckoned with. For over 27 years Atterbury has developed and managed prime commercial, industrial, retail and residential property across South Africa, the rest of the African continent and Europe.

Beyond South Africa’s borders, Atterbury works with like-minded partners to unlock property investment value with its development and asset management skill.

At Atterbury, we’ve always believed that development is the key to unlock economic and societal growth and improvement. Creative, well-managed spaces, featuring appealing aesthetics and elegant architecture within safe and accessible environments are hallmarks of all Atterbury developments.

Our enduring goal is to create working, shopping and entertainment spaces where everyone can live to their full potential. For Atterbury and our associates, development and construction are enablers for people to experience all that life has to offer.

We are proud but also humbled by what Atterbury has become over the past 30 years. From our roots in the development of Atterbury Value Mart to the pioneering mixed-use development of the initial Waterfall precinct, our current Castle Gate mixed-use precinct, Richmond Park precinct, King Air Industria precinct, the Old East precinct and beyond, Atterbury remains dedicated to bringing people together in safe and beautiful surroundings.

Atterbury has firmly established itself as a premier developer in the industrial sector, a status underscored by its receipt of prestigious SAPOA awards. These accolades include the award for Best Commercial Development for the Deloitte Headquarters in Waterfall, as well as the award for Best Residential Development for The Onyx in Jewel City, both in 2020. Further cementing its leading position, Atterbury was honoured with the Beeld JOU KEUSE-opname award as the No.1 Developer for the fourth year in a row in 2022, showcasing its sustained excellence and innovation in development.

We move with the times and allow time to move us. We pride ourselves in what we have become (over time). Diversity and dedication form part of our dynamic working environment and are integral to our company’s culture. We value and validate our people, whilst challenging them to reach their full potential within an energized and innovative (yet like-minded) working environment. Our people thrive on working together fearlessly and focused to overcome any challenge. Not even a worldwide pandemic could threaten or suppress their drive to succeed.
