Rockcastle Global Real Estate Company Limited (Mauritius)

Rockcastle merged with South African NEPI in 2017 and continued operations under the name NEPI Rockcastle. Rockcastle has been established in Mauritius as a category one Global Business License company with the primary objective of investing in global real estate assets and companies that are high yielding with the prospect of capital appreciation. Its investments may comprise global real estate securities, unlisted or over-the-counter real estate securities, other instruments derived from such real estate securities, and a global portfolio of direct property assets (which the company will both own and manage), including commercial property development projects, existing properties and real estate companies. Rockcastle’s investments comprise primarily listed real estate securities in selected developed jurisdictions including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, France, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, the United States and the United Kingdom. Rockcastle conducts its business from Mauritius and its board comprises a majority of Mauritian resident directors. It was established in Mauritius in order to take advantage of Mauritius’ business friendly infrastructure and tax regime and the double tax agreements that Mauritius has negotiated with many of the jurisdictions in which the company intends to invest.
