CGES | Group Ecosystem Services is a diversified services business, with the original start as a property development and management company focused on inner city redevelopment projects. We own and operate Residential, Commercial and Student Accommodation portfolios across South Africa. CMS Property Services (Pty) as the asset manager provides the full spectrum of funding, finance, design & development services including property administration, rental collection, call centre infrastructure, leasing, project management and facilities management. We are a business whose core values in Innovation, Simplicity, Community, Excellence, and Integrity are applied in our vision to become the preferred affordable Student Accommodation Provider in Africa. In 2020 we focused on Diversification to ensure we can create a truly integrated services organisation focused on empowerment, innovation and entrepreneurship. Our sustainable asset management practices are implemented to ensure the necessary yields are provided to our funders and shareholders alike. CGES is a privately owned business and is not listed on the JSE. Old Mutual (through Futuregrowth) holds the strategic stake in the business and is the major funder of the group. Our services expand across Asset and Property Management, Integrated Services (Technical & Soft Services), Technology Services, Value Added Services and finally Financial Solutions. As a services business our strength lies in our Human Assets and they are the core of our business. Empowerment is a fundamental part of our business and we believe in the development of our people through structured learning in a diversified environment. Our Group structure includes the creation and activation with mergers & acquisitions of like-minded niche or unique services companies which believe the African Continent needs a change in the vision and philosophy of how we look at the empowerment of the future nations on the continent.
