NIB Projects history
Our Story

Started with a Handshake. Grown on Results.

NIB Projects was founded in 1999 by Norman Ian Bosman, a Johannesburg-born property professional with a single office in Northcliff and a belief that commercial real estate could be done differently. Not louder. Just better.

Over the following decade, the firm quietly built one of the most respected client rosters in the area, earning mandates through referrals, honesty and the consistent delivery of results that outperformed the market.

Today, NIB Projects operates across commercial sales, leasing, industrial property and portfolio advisory, with a team of seasoned professionals who share the founder's ethos: know your market, know your client, and never cut corners.
