Company Profile

Intersite Property Management Services is a subsidiary of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA).Their key mandate is to manage PRASA’s property portfolio in and around railway stations across South Africa. Ultimately, Intersite contributes to PRASA’s strategic imperative of delivering efficient, quality transport services on a sustainable basis. Intersite is tasked with being a fully fledged corporate real estate property investment company that can effectively manage PRASA's asset base in order to generate increased revenue streams and enable efficient leveraging of the company's balance sheets. Intersite is also tasked with building, managing and operating rail and bus station precincts and surrounding environments that enhance the public transport user's experience and actively encourage increased patronage. This role ensures that these hubs are revamped, kept clean and are occupied with income generating tenants.

These goals are achieved through various divisional departments working together in Intersite namely, Real Estate Asset Management (REAM), Facilities Management (FM) and Property Development Management (PDM). These divisions work together to ensure effectiveness and delivery on Intersite’s mandate.

Four pillars of service operations
Intersite's four pillars of service operations that enable efficient provision for corporate real estate solutions, include a strategic focus on Real Estate Strategy and Business Management, while Project  Development Management,  Facilities and Estate Management areas provide the investment growth and operational focus.

Within these focus areas, Intersite has coordinated various programmes and initiatives that are vital to developing the Intersite approach to public transport and their surrounding hubs.

Examples of Intersite’s projects:

• The National Station Improvement Programme (NSIP), has seen 105 stations built or renovated.

• The South African Police Services (SAPS) Station Programme aims to ensure full-time professional police presence in many of the stations, particularly in urban areas. This project, funded by PRASA, ensures that all public transport users are well protected and adequately policed. The programme has already set up 27 fully operational SAPS facilities, with plans to increase this amount during the next year.

Supporting Government's social, economic and transport objectives
Intersite plans to develop and promote rail corridor densification around station precincts. The outcome is to develop sustainable communities that have increased access to socio-economic opportunities and public services, as well as supporting the increase in the usage of public rail transport.

Strategic Partnerships
Intersite has negotiated several strategic partnerships in recent years that will open up their services, enabling a more holistic approach to their role at PRASA and in the development of urban public transport hubs. These are significant in the planning and development of stations, notably flagship development projects and corridor densification programmes.


Intersite plans to create even more partnerships and enter into similar agreements with other strategic players including funding institutions and other relevant stakeholders. These institutions could potentially be involved in a number of projects at inception, in order to identify strong areas of investment opportunity and participation.
