Celebrating the Women Building Our Cities

It’s a day set aside to honour the courage of the women who marched to the Union Buildings in 1956, and to recognise the women shaping our cities today.

Walk through any City Property building in Johannesburg or Pretoria and you’ll find women leading teams, running businesses, managing properties and raising families — often all at once. From the caretakers who keep our buildings running smoothly, to the entrepreneurs renting our commercial spaces, to the tenants building careers from studio apartments in the CBD, women are woven into the fabric of city life.

This Women’s Month, we want to spotlight a few ways our residential and commercial communities can mark the occasion:

• Support a woman-owned business. Many of our retail and commercial tenants are women-led — pop in, shop local, and share the love on social media.
• Host a small gathering. Whether it’s a balcony breakfast or a communal braai in your building, use the long weekend to connect with the women in your community.
• Talk to the women around you. A short conversation with a colleague, neighbour, or the caretaker in your building can mean more than you think.

At City Property, we believe strong communities are built by people who show up for each other — and this Women’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate every woman who calls our buildings home, work or business.
