Blok is not just an urban property developer. We are an advocate of urban living and the opportunities it presents. Blok operates through thoughtfully designed products, community, and customer experience. We see things differently, and this allows us to look at our property market differently. Everything we do needs to be excellent, not just good or good enough. We are individuals with strong opinions, but not opinionated. We are passionate, not pushy or arrogant. We love what we do and work as a team.

Blok focuses on urban apartment living in the Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl of Cape Town.
