SHAUN TOWEEL, INTERNATIONAL AWARDWINNING PROPERTY DEVELOPER, IS A MAN WITH A VISION THAT IS LARGER THAN LIFE

eal estate mogul, Shaun Toweel, has spent the majority of his life in Johannesburg, but recently settled in uMhlanga where the energy and pace best suit his lifestyle. “I originally lived in Ballito, but spending most of my life in Johannesburg, I felt I needed some of that energy that I missed. To me, uMhlanga’s pace fits more with my personality and business profile, as the real estate industry has boomed in this area in the last few years. It has a more cosmopolitan way of life which I need to perform at my optimal best,” he says. Shaun has been performing at his optimal best for many years, and is often described by others as having the Midas touch. This seven times international property award winner and philantor-capitalist sees an opportunity and creates viable markets where none existed before. To date he 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 and around South Africa as well as abroad.
