About Us

What we do

Customised Designer Homes

Heartland exists to contribute to human wellness by creating a bond between the owner and their home. We achieve this by building quality homes that carry an imprint of their owner, and by simplifying the purchasing journey.

A distinguishing trait of Heartland is the journey on which each owner embarks. As a developer, builder and owner we are able to simplify the buying process through a single point of contact, from the owners first enquiry to handing over their keys. We provide the canvas which owners use to write their own narrative through selecting available finishes and furnishings.

We are predominantly a brown-fields developer. Through leveraging technology we breathe new life into existing structures to create exclusive living environments in established neighbourhoods. We manage and maintain all our properties in-house with the assistance of dedicated partners to ensure the sustained quality of each home. When you infuse a well designed space with your personality, you are guaranteed to love where you live.

Our Story

True Heritage Into Modern Living

Our homes all have a story behind them. Our journey began working with heritage buildings and preserving the stories these historical buildings tell while completely transforming them to allow for ease of stay. Our first homes were carefully hand-crafted, each with unique features and focus points, and is how we still approach each home today.

The customisation required for these heritage homes helped us develop into leaders in home customisation. This led us to specialise in providing off-plan buyers with online and virtual tools to colour in professionally curated spaces.

Our Passion

Build Quality, Innovative Design & Prop Tech

"A home is where we grow, dream, and find refuge from the world. It shapes us, and we shape it back, making it a true extension of ourselves." Stephanie Shapiro.
We are a team made of property and software developers, it isn't common, but it has helped us invent new tools to allow owners to interact with their future homes. We are all about innovative thinking, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the residential market.

Although the nature of our projects have changed over the years, our ethos has stayed the same: We believe a home is an environment that allows us to shape our thoughts, recharge us and inspire us to take on the world around us.

Our Roots

Pretoria Is Our Home

We are a property company that was born out of the commercial events industry. Our origin company Heartfelt Arena has been around since 1967. We have taken the same detail-focused thinking from the high-end events industry into the property market.
