Falcor Property Developers
Falcor is a privately held company that develops multi-unit residential developments on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard. We place great emphasis on functional design and the successful utilisation of space, whilst ensuring world-class quality and finish.
Introduction
Why name a property development company after a mythical dragon? Firstly, Falcor was a luck dragon. And all who came into contact with him were blessed with good fortune. Secondly, ancient nautical maps used to indicate uncharted waters with the letters HBD – Here Be Dragons. Uncharted waters are what we are all about. We are constantly exploring new ways of designing homes..

Our developments are architecturally-driven, not bottom line-driven. Style and design, therefore, are as essential to us as bricks and mortar. The end result is that we build homes, not accommodations.
What is a Falcor home?
We are highly unlikely to build Tuscan villas, ‘neo-classical’ villages and other imported designs. Why import foreign influences when we have exquisite natural beauty right on our doorstep? A Tuscan villa has as much relevance in South Africa as a Zulu hut has in Italy. Our inspiration is the authentic beauty we see around us every day.
Have you ever walked into a house and just known that it feels right? It’s not necessarily the lighting or the layout or the utilisation of space.

It’s all these things seemingly blended together without effort. This ability to conceal function behind harmonious serenity is what defines a Falcor home.
Right from the word go we consult with experts on how best to work with the surrounding environment. At every step we ask ourselves if what we are designing is consistent with the basic design principles that hold true not only to architecture, but also to art, photography, furniture, clothing and so on. It is these principles that create a universal appreciation of good design.
A Falcor home is a home you want to live in. Not just to eat and sleep, but actually live. ‘Home’ is about so much more than four walls and a roof.
