17th I.H.S Affordable Housing Conference
3 September 2025
Nedbank CIB hosts 17th annual conference in conjunction with IHS, the leading fund and property manager in the affordable housing sector in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The 17th Annual IHS Affordable Housing Conference explores the evolving landscape of housing in South Africa, where innovation, investment, and impact converge.
This year’s theme − 'Foundations for the future: Housing the new world' − frames a day of insight, strategy, and bold thinking, shaping tomorrow’s communities.
From bold developments to green leadership and inclusive design, the day’s conversations reflect a sector in transformation. More than just a meeting of ideas, the conference is a collective effort to drive meaningful change and reshape the housing landscape for generations to come.
It’s a moment to align, reflect, and act − laying the groundwork for a more inclusive, resilient future.
Key themes shaping the discussion
Panel 1
4 ways to build a future
From converted office blocks in Illovo to greenfield megaprojects like Lion Pride, four radically different development models will be unpacked by the panel, each with lessons in scale, delivery, and innovation. Developers take the mic to share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how these case studies can inspire a housing future.
Panel 2
From cautious to committed
SA’s biggest institutional investors are no longer on the sidelines; they’re in the trenches, funding housing. But what are their deal-breakers and what do developers need to change to keep them at the table?
Panel 3
She builds green
From climate-smart buildings to equity-led boardrooms, these women aren’t just leading in green development; they’re defining it. This panel spotlights the intersection of gender and sustainability in shaping the future of property.
Panel 4
Beyond the build
The value of housing doesn’t end at the brickwork. From early childhood education and SME upliftment to wellness and community design, this panel explores how developers and investors are driving social impact that’s real, visible, and measurable.
