Broll Namibia celebrates 20th birthday
Property management company and Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group subsidiary, Broll Namibia, celebrates 20 years in the business in June 2023. With a property portfolio valued at over N$2.6 billion, the company’s service offerings include Property Management, Facilities Management, Occupier Services as well as retail leasing and consultancy, and development management services. The Broll Namibia portfolio includes Alexander Forbes House/Carl List Mall, Wernhil Shopping Centre, Town Square Building, Old Breweries Complex, Ruhr Street, Independence 77 Retail Section as well as Seagulls Mall in Walvis Bay and Pick ‘n Pay Swakopmund. External properties under management include the Hilltop Village in Windhoek, B1 City and 51 on Lazarett.
What started as a collaboration between the O&L Group and Broll South Africa on the leasing and development of Town Square in Windhoek’s Post Street Mall, resulted in the formation of the joint venture, Broll Namibia in 2003. In 2005, Broll Namibia achieved its ISO 9001:2008 certification for quality management systems which the company still maintains. As the years went by, Broll Namibia celebrated many milestones such as developing the Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) premises and building Cashbuild and the Fruit & Veg building in 2005. In 2008, the company commenced various investments on behalf of the O&L Group, towards extending Alexander Forbes House/ Carl List Mall, upgrading Pick n Pay Centre in Walvis Bay and upgrading the Standard Bank Centre in Windhoek. In 2011 the company completed the third phase of Wernhil Shopping Centre, and the fourth phase in 2019.
According to Karen Keys, Managing Director (MD) at Broll Namibia, the company attributes its success to its biggest asset – the people. “At the heart of Broll Namibia are the caring and passionate people who are proud of who we are and what we stand for. We realise the importance of teamwork and working together interdependently and strive to bring our best versions to work every day.”
“We thrive on customer satisfaction, delivering new realities and creating positive experiences for everyone that crosses our paths. We motivate a high-performance culture, putting our customers’ assets first and delivering on management strategies that will maximise property potential.”
Reflecting on this 20-year milestone, Keys also expressed, on behalf of the management of Broll Namibia, her sincere appreciation for her fellow colleagues for their dedication, commitment and support. She also extended her thanks to the company’s loyal clients, tenants, partners, customers and shareholders who are a vital part of the business and without whom it would not have been possible to be where they are today.
As to how the future might look for Broll Namibia, Keys shared: “We aim to continue to develop a sustainable, innovative, and inspiring company and unlock further opportunities in our various service offerings which include property management, facility management, occupier services, leasing and broking services, sectional title management and development management. We have spent 20 years to build and entrench our brand in Namibia and will continue to stand out as a professional and innovative property services company in Namibia.”
