Established in 1979, Tri-Star Construction is a private, management-owned business that has evolved into a successful, multi-disciplined construction company. Ba-Akhi Investments, a wholly black-owned investment company led by non-executive Chairman of TriStar Construction Malose Kekana, is a 51% shareholder.
Kekana, also the CEO of Pareto Limited and president-elect of SAPOA, brings a wealth of property experience to the Saxon Square development team. The property industry stalwart believes the development is well positioned to attract investment. “We are responding to the needs of the City of Johannesburg to bring density into urban areas, while creating a well-designed, eco-friendly live-work-play opportunity at all price points in an upmarket area. Developments of this nature make owning property in central, upmarket areas far more accessible for a wide range of buyers.”

“Saxon Square represents an ideal opportunity for many to step onto the property ladder, enabling them to own their first property without compromising standards or location,” says Kekana. “Furthermore, the projected investment yield of 10% makes Saxon Square a very appealing buy for astute property investors.”
Research from University of Cape Town’s Urban Real Estate Research Unit (URERU) shows South Africa is following the growing international trends of high demand for smaller, centrally located properties. URERU research further shows that residential related assets, particularly Private Rented Residential and affordable housing categories, remain firmly in the top 10 assets driving global urban growth in cities in 2021.
“We believe Saxon Square is a highly relevant, expertly designed offering based on proven trends and the needs of the market,” says Kekana. “Central, lock-up-and-go projects designed for young professionals will continue to be popular, especially in a low interest rate environment. As our urban spaces continue to evolve and answer to the needs of buyers, we expect to see more developments of this nature.”
More than R70m in sales recorded at Saxon Square in just 10 weeks proves the development is right on point.
