INTERNATIONAL HOUSING SOLUTIONS
Finance in Johannesburg

At International Housing Solutions (IHS) we take a holistic approach to the provision of energy efficient, affordable residential developments. We recognize the need to not only create viable housing projects, but also to provide broader community infrastructure with easy access to schools, shops and work opportunities, thereby improving the quality of life of the residents. Given the rapid and increasing growth of the emerging middle class in Sub Saharan Africa, there remains a substantial and rising demand for quality, affordable homes and an increasing shortage of supply. IHS is a pioneer in this sector, and has built an enviable reputation not only by providing 27 000 new homes but for building strong communities because of our focus on those factors that add value and provide access to opportunities previously denied to the lower middle class. Owing to our extensive experience and track record, we have cemented valuable partnerships with all key stakeholders, to bring together all the necessary elements for creating successful projects in the affordable and workforce housing markets. Furthermore, our relationships have enabled us to create a strong pipeline of prospective investments in the region. All buyers have clear title to their units, which increases their ability to benefit financially. Because of this easier access to quality education, and by providing home environments conducive to studying, quality of life and access to opportunities are further improved. International Housing Solutions (IHS) is a real estate investment manager focused on the development and management of residential projects affordable to the fast growing middle income market. At International Housing Solutions (IHS), the global private equity investor leading investment into the affordable housing sector in sub-Saharan Africa, we provide investors with a unique opportunity to achieve excellent risk-adjusted returns. We partner with respected developers to increase access for individuals and families to high quality affordable homes, creating a significant and positive social, environmental and economic impact. We are currently raising and investing our second fund, IHS Fund II, which includes a green facility designed to improve the efficient use of energy, water and building materials in our developments.
