Property Development Services

Town planning expertise built into the business, and a partnership offer for landlords: if your property overlooks traffic, it could be earning you revenue.

The Consultancy

Developed on expert ground

In the development of its holding, Bluechip Outdoor makes use of Property Development Services (PDS), a town planning consultancy specialising in outdoor advertising legislation and development in over thirty municipalities throughout South Africa.

PDS was responsible for a number of landmark approvals and projects:

  • The first large format sign in Cape Town: 164 sqm at Marine Corner.
  • The first building wrap in Cape Town: 3,000 sqm at Media City.
  • The Cape Town 2010 Host City Decoration and Signage Masterplan.
  • The V&A Waterfront Signage Masterplan.
  • The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport Signage Masterplan.

Legal Innovation

Innovation is more than creative execution

It includes legal creativity and innovation. It is through innovative legal solutions that PDS placed a 40m Vuvuzela on a landmark site in Cape Town and secured approvals in the V&A Waterfront.

Regulation matters

Some of our cities are near lawless in their lack of control over outdoor advertising, whilst others are regulated to death. Regulation of outdoor advertising, and strict regulation, is not only required but vital to the survival of the industry.

Scarcity creates value

The outdoor advertising market is subject to the same economic rules as other industries, and none are more relevant than supply and demand. Regulation, and more importantly enforcement, ensures scarcity, which in turn ensures value for the media owner and the advertiser.

The competitive advantage

An understanding of the laws that govern the industry provides a competitive advantage: the ability to see opportunities where the laws provide none. With PDS able to secure approvals in the most unlikely places, Bluechip Outdoor possesses this vital advantage over its competitors.

Landlords & Property Owners

Your property could be earning more

If your building or land overlooks a busy road, intersection or commercial node, it may qualify for a billboard, digital screen or building wrap, and a long-term passive income stream for you.

Bluechip Outdoor carries the full burden and cost of development. You collect the rental; we do the rest:

  • Free, no-obligation site assessment of your property's advertising potential.
  • Town planning, council applications and approvals handled by PDS, specialists in over thirty municipalities.
  • We invest in the design, engineering, construction and installation of the structure.
  • We market the site to national and international advertisers, and maintain it for its lifetime.
  • You earn reliable long-term rental income from space you already own.

Tell us the property's address, the closest landmark and a few photos, and we will come back with an honest assessment.
