About Us

Fuelled by the peaceful transition to democracy and the many attractions the country offers, South Africa’s property market has burgeoned since 1994. Buoyed by this positive sentiment and eager to follow their passion, international businessman and property investor John Roberts, experienced property developer Trevor Dabbe and corporate businessman Dave Dominicus established Monarc Developments in 2003.

Active throughout the Western Cape, our focus to date has been primarily on Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs (Newlands, Fernwood, Claremont, Kenilworth and Constantia) and Hout Bay, where our residential developments have become tasteful additions to the landscape. While we are proud of that, we are even more proud of how they have positively impacted on the lives of many owners, investors, tenants and the surrounding communities.

It is our belief that the quality of one’s living space – both in terms of the built and natural environments – has a profound effect on the quality of one’s life.

Our goal is to continue to seek out opportunities to create developments that enhance both the landscape and the lives of people who live in them.
