Overview

Project Keystone is a South African property-focused company located in Blaauwberg, Cape Town. Established in 2017, the company was originally formed for real estate investment and property-related activities, funded through private equity capital.

 

While the company has ceased active operations, it has been maintained as a compliant, debt-free shelf entity with embedded tax advantages and a clean corporate history. The primary value lies not in ongoing operations, but in the strategic tax attributes that make it a unique opportunity for a buyer intending to conduct property business in South Africa (whether buying, selling, renting or developing property).

 

The entity is privately held by a single shareholder and is now available for 100% acquisition, offering a ready-made, SARS-compliant corporate structure with significant tax efficiency benefits.

Historical Profile

While active, Project Keystone developed a niche in guiding European nationals - particularly from Germany - on investment migration, part-time relocation and lifestyle integration into South Africa. This included tailored services that bridged financial advisory, property investment and cultural consulting, allowing the company to serve a small but high-value international client base.

 

During its last operational period in 2024, the company reported annual revenue of R224,780 with EBITDA of -R699,321, largely the result of strategic expenditure and long-term setup costs during the founder-led operational phase.
