Heriot Portfolio

About us

Driven by Sustainable Growth in the Property Sector

Heriot REIT is committed to delivering long-term value through a robust portfolio of high-performing real estate assets. Our focus spans essential retail centres, industrial facilities, offices, hospitality and residential holdings - all underpinned by quality tenants and sustainable leases.

Our mission

Founded in 1998, by Steven Herring, Heriot REIT set out to build a sustainable, income-generating property portfolio rooted in long-term tenant relationships. Our mission is to develop and invest in properties that empower communities and deliver consistent returns for shareholders.

Since our inception, we have steadily grown from a private real estate investment group into a listed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Our disciplined investment strategy, focus on quality assets, and hands-on management approach have enabled us to build a diverse portfolio, which is managed by our offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Each stage of our growth has been guided by core values — excellence, transparency, and long-term thinking — supported by strong governance and an experienced leadership team.
