2 INTRODUCTION Bethel Partners was founded in Cape Town, in 2015, by Daniel Filippi and Richard Glass as a vehicle to improve the lives of others, create better places and to derive benefit from property sector opportunities. In short we are Building Community. Bethel Partners focuses on managing and developing commercial, retail, industrial and residential properties. Experienced property professionals, Bethel Partners has significant experience in commercial, retail, industrial and residential property development and management. We have a deep desire to practically, sustainably and successfully implement broad based economic and social development and empowerment of communities. We believe in loving communities and managing property. Bethel Partners is honoured to be working with 4 Communities, representing over 2,000 families, to restore their wealth and sense of Community through property. Bethel Partners has co-founded the Richmond Park Treasury Trust (together with the Richmond Park Communal Property Association and Atterbury) as a vehicle to provide short-term skills development and medium- and long-term education to the approximately 5,500 beneficiaries of the Richmond Park Community, primarily living in Atlantis, Western Cape. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has - Margaret Mead

3 RICHMOND PARK: MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT Our vision for Bethel Partners stems from the success that we have had in developing Richmond Park in Milnerton, which is a greenfields property development project that we initiated in 2008 together with 401 families that were awarded 83.5 hectares of strategic land as part of a land restitution claim. Richmond Park ( is a 315,000 m2 of GLA industrial, commercial and retail project that has an initial capital budget of R500 million for the land conversion phase and an anticipated budget of an additional R3 billion for the development of the Richmond Park property fund. Bethel Partners successfully initiated and structured the project and is currently developing Richmond Park together with the 401 families and has attracted Atterbury and Old Mutual Property as strategic implementation and financial partners. We have thus far facilitated the dividend payments of over R40 million to the Community, the training of 200 unemployed people with skills (and work placement) and the award of over 40 tertiary education bursaries FAMILIES AWARDED 83.5 HECTARES PAYMENTS OF OVER R40 MILLION TO THE COMMUNITY TRAINING OF 200 UNEMPLOYED
