The Seymour Properties business started in the Eastern Cape, in the city of ku Gompo ( formerly East London ). It grew on a “ build to rent” strategy, being consumer eccentric and focusing on the needs of potential tenants.

It has expanded down the coast to Gqeberha and Cape Town. Its commercial property tenants comprise family owned businesses as well as Nationals such as Mr Price, Clicks, Sheet Street and more. Its residential portfolio has expanded from middle income tenants to top earners and includes properties in upmarket Newlands and Cape Town's V&A Waterfront.

The business is a family affair with one shared vision to grow steadily by meeting the needs of our tenants, whilst giving back to the communities in which we operate. Luke Seymour, a chartered accountant looks after the financial pillar. Kelly Seymour, an attorney, looks after the leasing and marketing pillar. Russell and Zelda Seymour are involved together with staff on the operations side.
