The Pinto Family Group is a privately held, multi-disciplinary enterprise built on a proud Portuguese heritage and deeply rooted in South African soil. With a legacy shaped by generations and a relentless drive to achieve, the Group comprises of 38 strategically aligned companies operating across South Africa and Portugal - each reinforcing the other through a fully integrated model of development, investment, infrastructure delivery and value creation.
At the heart of our operations lies a commitment to shaping spaces of lasting value. In South Africa, we are firmly anchored in the Western Cape, with a focus on the Cape Winelands region - one of the country’s most sought-after and dynamic growth corridors. Here, we’ve cultivated a portfolio of income-generating properties, residential and mixed-use developments, prime farmland, and strategic landholdings, all positioned for enduring capital appreciation.
In Portugal, our reach spans the entire country - from the vibrant city of Porto in the north, through the cultural and financial hub of Lisbon, to the exclusive coastal destination of the Algarve in the south. Our investment arm holds exclusive rights to over 100 real estate developments across these regions, reinforcing the Group’s international reach and long-term vision.
The Pinto Family Group’s vertically integrated model enables us to command every link in the property development value chain - from concept to completion. With in-house expertise across Construction, Civil Works, Design, Mechanical Engineering, Retail, Production, Agriculture and Investment Management, we eliminate reliance on external contractors and maintain absolute oversight of quality, cost, and timelines. This cohesive structure empowers us to move with agility, deliver with precision, a turnkey solution to safeguard the long-term integrity of every project we undertake.
Our income-generating rental portfolio includes nearly 100 units - 60% residential and 40% commercial - leased to respected tenants such as Sanlam, Santam, Continental, Astron Energy, PEP, Vodacom, Veritas, Steers, Vida E Cafe, OK, etc-
We are guided by more than business acumen - we are led by principles. Common Sense, Honesty, Passion and Transparency shape every decision we make. We believe in doing things properly, keeping it simple, communicating openly, and building relationships founded on trust. These values are not trends; they are timeless tools passed down through generations.
As Rudyard Kipling once wrote, the measure of real strength lies in restraint, resolve, and endurance. To dream, but not be ruled by dreams. To rise after loss. To hold fast when all else falls away. To meet with triumph and disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same. This is the quiet code that shapes our Family and our Group. It is not just in our work - it is in our DNA.
For the Pinto Family Group, legacy is not merely inherited - it is earned through vision, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of excellence. We build not only properties, but permanence. Not just business, but generational value - across continents, and into the future.
