INTRODUCING

LEE-ANN DURAND

082 874 0948

Lee-Ann’s extensive property knowledge and experience garnered over many years has honed her skills in finalising deals between landlords and tenants. From the start of a negotiation to the handover of the premises to the tenant, she has the ability to ensure the process is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

She has a finely-tuned understanding of property management which enables her to be sensitive to the expectations on both sides i.e. the landlord and the tenant. Her skill-set ensures a leasing experience which is both professional and smoothly managed.

I was really keen to be part of the growth and expansion of a new company, and work with exciting new online leasing platforms such as PolygonProp which opens up proptech opportunities to us in a big way and is a really smart tool.

My property knowledge and experience makes it easier to finalise deals between landlords and tenants, from the start of a negotiation to the handover of the premises to the tenant, and sort out various issues during the process very seamlessly.  When you understand property management as well as I do, you understand the expectations on both sides i.e. the landlord and the tenant. My skill-set enables me to make the entire experience both professional and seamless.

In my view niche boutique stores show excellent potential for growth as do outlets which sell locally produced/ manufactured  merchandise.

There is a definite gap for us to connect landlords with very promising retailers who are not national tenants and have no relationship with the landlords of centres they would like to occupy space in. These retailers may have specific requirements and are wanting to be in centres with particular market demographics. At The Market Space we facilitate that connection because we know the players so well.

And then there are also smaller landlords of good centres who do not have relationships with a wide sample of  tenants or may not have the capacity to go out into the market to look for specific retail categories to enrich their tenant mix. We step in and do this for them. And we find most landlords are very open to our ability to connect them with fresh new tenants who will add variety to their tenant mix.

Placing the first Bossa restaurant in Nelspruit. It’s fantastic!
