Who are we
MFT is a “family owned business” for over 36 years in excess. Our portfolio comprises retail, office and industrial assets. We differentiate ourselves by adopting a nodal investment approach, underpinned by sound property fundamentals that support our strategy to build cities of the future.
Our purpose
Creating positive socio-economic value
through our nodal approach to property investment.
Our vision
To be a well-valued and respected company in the property sector by focusing on the business of tomorrow but not at the expense of today or the communities we operate in
Our strategy
Building cities of the future by focusing on property
fundamentals within specifically identified nodes.
Our nodal focus
We create value through a focused nodal approach to property investments. We identify a strategic node by analysing transport routes, growth and densification. We then buy, develop or redevelop these strategic nodes. Our flexibility enables us to assist tenants and maximise value by developing properties that enhance these areas.
What we do
We seek ways to maximise value preservation and creation for our investors by investing through the property life cycle – by buying, selling, developing, letting and managing our properties
Financial and asset management
Buy – We invest in key strategic nodes by acquiring high- quality assets with strong property fundamentals.
Develop – Redevelop and up-grade our properties to maintain and their value.
Let And Manage – Deliver tenants’ expectations by providing safe, well maintained buildings and excellent levels of customer service.
Sell – We recycle capital through the disposal of non-core assets. This capital is used to lower debt levels and strengthen our balance sheet, or it is reinvested back into our core assets, thereby enhancing the value of our overall portfolio.
Stakeholder relationship management
Value creation is shaped by our socio-economic context and the strength of our stakeholder relationships. We are committed to delivering our services in a socially responsible manner and meeting the needs of the communities in which we operate.
How we operate
Our trustees/directors are responsible for the overall direction and supervision of the company. General management is delegated to executive directors. Executive directors and specific senior management members are responsible for the asset management function, which, in turn, directs our property management function.
