For Property Owners
Turn your building's connectivity gap into an income stream
UrbanLink funds, installs and operates a complete managed network in your building — at zero capital cost to you. You get faster lease-ups, zero capex, and a monthly revenue share of every subscription collected in your building.
Why building owners choose UrbanLink
Four concrete wins — all from a single signed agreement.
Faster lease-ups
Connectivity is now a top search filter. Buildings that offer managed internet as an amenity lease faster than comparable buildings without it — residential and commercial alike.
Better tenant retention
Once residents and offices are on the UrbanLink network, switching costs are real. Connected tenants renew and refer. Reduced churn compounds over time.
Zero capital risk
UrbanLink funds, installs, owns and maintains the entire network. The only ask from your building is a comms room with power and access. On exit, we remove our equipment at our cost.
Live in 8–10 weeks
Site survey → fibre order → cabling, switching & Wi-Fi → testing → go-live. Typical total time from signed agreement to first connection is 8–10 weeks, including fibre activation.
How It Works
Two building types. One simple model.
Whether your building is residential or commercial, UrbanLink funds and operates everything and pays you a share of the subscription revenue.
Apartment blocks, student housing and shared living. Residents choose flexible plans — from R50/day to R399/month — and you earn a share of the subscription revenue collected in your building.
- 5-day free trial drives resident uptake
- Day, Week, Standard (R299) & Pro (R399) plans
- A share of collected subscription revenue, monthly
- Monthly revenue statement
Multi-tenant office buildings. Each office takes an Office LAN package (R999/mo + R1,500 install) or General Wi-Fi (R799/mo), and you earn a share of the subscription revenue collected.
- Office LAN: private LAN + custom Wi-Fi name
- General Wi-Fi: fast shared building Wi-Fi
- A share of collected subscription revenue, monthly
- Turns an unconnected building into a connected one
