“This note serves to confirm that Shaheen Adams, CEO of Wingapo Property Group, performed property consulting work for Lucky Star Operations, a division of the Oceana Group. Shaheen delivered a comprehensive market study to assess the potential use and value of some of Lucky Star’s properties in the Hout Bay Area. The study involved engagements with various stakeholders from government, the private sector, NGO’s and community based organizations. The work was of a good and detailed standard, and has enabled Lucky Star to pursue further discussions with parties that have expressed a serious interest in the properties. Shaheen engaged regularly and diligently with ourselves as the client. We would recommend Wingapo Property Group for providing advice on property related projects.”

Since leaving Pam Golding Properties Shaheen has had successful appointments in Property Management and Property Asset Management at the City of Cape Town, the Western Cape Government and the Communicare non-profit organisation. During all this time he and I have kept in contact, and I have followed his career with interest – he now has a very broad base of property knowledge, expertise and experience. He is a person of the highest integrity, and sets the highest standards for himself. He has an engaging personality and is also fun to be with and to work with. He is diligent and conscientious, and has a great aptitude and instinct for property. Shaheen and I are also working together as part of an advisory team to the Cape Town Drug Counselling Centre (CTDCC), assisting them on assessing their development options for their site. I confidently recommend Shaheen and his company Wingapo with regards a property-related investment, development, consulting, marketing or management project.”
