Boulevard PAD One option is to invest exclusively in a suite of your choice at Boulevard PAD (executive-style, lock-up-and-go studio apartments within Zimbali Lakes Resort) for as little as R1 million. The investment is ring-fenced to the capital appreciation on the unit, and the investor receives hotel investment income from the pooling of suites. Zimbali Boulevard Boulevard PAD is expected to have a strong rental market pull, according to IFA H&R, offering residents the prestige of a Zimbali address, and access to the world-class amenities on offer within this secure gated estate. U ‘If someone invests R1 million in Zimbali Capital, they will receive a tax credit of up to R450,000 at the end of the tax year. What this means is that an investor will receive a return on 100% of their investment but only have exposure of 55% of their original investment amount,’ explains Zimbali marketing manager Erik Steele. Or you could invest in a portfolio of development, hospitality and student accommodation assets across South Africa. This investment will be ring-fenced to a portfolio of properties that are forecast to be in excess of 18% IRR (internal rate of return) after tax.
