Investment. Development. Management.

Adowa specialises in the investment, development and management of high-quality, affordable student housing communities in South Africa. Backed by our deep understanding of the market, a commitment to quality and combined experience of over 50 years in property development and finance, Adowa aims to be the leading choice for students looking for a living environment complimentary to their university years.

The large number of students leaving home to further their education in tertiary institutions has resulted in an increase in demand for living environments geared towards supporting the accommodation needs of student life. We create spaces where students feel secure and comfortable, enabling them to focus on their academic objectives in stable environments. Our properties create communities of learners which foster life-long bonds and collaborative learning.

Adowa’s primary objective is to make quality, safe student accommodation accessible to all students.
