Citiq delivers professional, proactive property management with full accountability for results. Their experienced team understands client needs deeply, maintains disciplined staffing levels, and excels in facilities management, leasing, and overall operations — all while remaining price-sensitive and risk-aware.

Henk Klopper

Chief Financial Officer Talis Property Fund
"We appointed CGES/CMS Group as our third-party Property Management and development partner, and they have exceeded expectations at every stage. From the outset, their expertise, industry knowledge, and strong network were instrumental in securing funding and bringing our vision to life. During the development and construction phase, they identified and mitigated risks proactively, ensuring our project remained on track and optimised for maximum return. Even though we’re still in the design and development phase, CGES/CMS Group has already been onboarded as our Property and Facilities Manager and will oversee the building’s full tenanting process."

Patrick Gardner

Director Gardner Property Solutions
“We appointed CGES/CMS Group as third-party Property Manager for Luhambo, our purpose-built student accommodation near the University of Mpumalanga. Starting from development in 2022, they delivered exceptional results - achieving 99% occupancy in the first year of operations (2024) and attracting over 2,000 enquiries for 1,000 beds. Their involvement spanned feasibility analysis, funding unlocking, design input for student-centric efficiency, stakeholder engagement, marketing, leasing strategies, and occupancy optimisation software."

Wouter Van Coller

Director Luhambo Students
"As a recent entrant to the property sector, we have confidently partnered with CGES/CMS GROUP across two developments, leveraging their expertise as our trusted property specialist advisor and service provider. They excel in securing financial closures through sharp financial analysis, risk assessment, and direct funder engagement; proactively mitigating project risks with excellent communication and timely decisions; supporting rental projects with powerful software, marketing, tenant strategies, and high-occupancy results; and promoting best-in-class business practices that drive efficiency, cost savings, and operational excellence."
