Acclaimed property developer with the MIDAS TOUCH

To date, Shaun Toweel has completed over a billion dollars’ worth of real estate, and is currently involved in large mix-use developments including residential, retail and commercial components in South Africa as well as abroad. In 2002 he grew his company into a multi-million dollar property portfolio, and he is the current founder and CEO of a number of real estate companies including Extra Dimensions Property Group based in South Africa, One Luxury Ltd on the Island of Mauritius and Toweel Property Developments and Investments LLC based in the USA.

Shaun has been developing and building ultra-luxury homes and residential communities for over 20 years, with his work being internationally recognised as the creative force behind some of the world’s most magnificent mansions ever built. This resident from Kwa-Zulu Natal does not believe in a ‘one-design-fits-all’ approach, and the homes and estates he develops are individually crafted and infused with imagination and pristine execution.

Shaun lives according to a three-word motto which he believes custom homeowners are looking for; workmanship, value and satisfaction.

Where it all started

Shauns says his passion for real estate development found its roots in the work that his father did.

“I can recall how amazed I was observing my dad, who had his own electrical company, involved in these huge developments where the developer would build on average 25 homes in one month. I was intrigued by the hundreds of components coming together and then ultimately the final product. I’ve always had a creative and inventive mind, coupled with a deep-set entrepreneurial spirit and goal to one day be a creator and developer of my very own masterpiece homes,” says Shaun.
