Glen Anil, the legendary South African property company founded by visionary developer Dr. Edward Rubenstein, is such a company, such a name.
Recently returned to the control of its founding family, Glen Anil is a property and investment group that owns and develops an expanding portfolio of residential, office and retail assets on three continents. Our objective is classically straightforward: to generate attractive returns for our investors based on stable cash flows, asset appreciation and distribution growth. We have an experienced and agile team able to spot and secure unique investment opportunities for our clients.
For generations of South Africans, Glen Anil is a household word, synonymous with uncommon range, boldness and ingenuity. To these old associations are now added new ones—courage, tenacity, unyielding commitment. The legendary name of Glen Anil serves not only as a reminder of what once was, but as a clarion call for what is still to come.
