Andrea Taverna-Turisan

Andrea graduated with a BSc Hons degree in Mathematics and Management from King’s College, London. He immigrated to South Africa in 1995 and initially worked as a Commercial Property Broker in Bellville. He was one of the founding members of a food import business (Rialto Foods) in April 1998 and was instrumental in growing this business into the Italian food importer of choice of Woolworths.

He sold his shares in Rialto in 2006 and formed the Chiluan Property Group and developed six A-grade distribution facilities for top quality tenants. Chiluan sold its distribution assets to Equites on listing.

His intimate knowledge of the industrial market, and ability to research and find opportunities, market, build and manage all his properties in-house, has resulted in Andrea being able to outperform his competition and secure long term A-grade income tenants in the Cape Town industrial market.
