What Novaterra does

Novaterra is the integrated real estate development arm of Mauritius-based Terra Group (Terra Mauricia Ltd), operating as Terragri Ltd from its headquarters at Beau Plan Business Park in Pamplemousses. Founded in 2017 (rebranded from Sagiterra) and now employing approximately 100 staff across 9 specialised departments, the company develops and manages residential, commercial, agricultural, and heritage real estate across northern Mauritius. Its core asset is the 228-hectare Beau Plan Smart City \u2014 a Smart City Scheme-certified master development combining apartments, serviced residential land, EDGE-certified offices, a retail promenade, schools, cultural venues, and leisure facilities \u2014 backed by parent-controlled landholdings of approximately 6,900 hectares.

The product platform spans five lines: built-up residential (Mango Village, Indigo apartments at Rs 6.6M-15.25M), serviced residential land subdivisions (Cl\u00e9mentine, Les Muguets, Souvenir, from Rs 2.1M per lot), commercial land and offices (The Strand EDGE-certified offices from Rs 35k/month, Beau Plan Business Park at 100% leased, Business District plots from Rs 13.1M), agricultural land (Domaine de Cr\u00e8ve-C\u00e6ur, 73 lots from Rs 2.5M), and heritage conservation projects (Creative Park, Mon Rocher, HEI Schools, Themis International School, L'Aventure du Sucre). The company combines one-time property sales with recurring leasing (40+ retail tenants, 100+ total tenants) and managed services (syndic, landscaping, maintenance, asset management).

The go-to-market is direct and high-touch: dedicated Sales & Leasing Executives are assigned to specific projects, supported by on-site sales offices, a bilingual (English/French) consumer website, WhatsApp/phone inquiry handling, and content marketing via an Insights/news platform. Customer segments include international investors and expatriates acquiring residency-linked properties through the Smart City Scheme and Property Development Scheme (from USD 375,000), Mauritian families seeking quality housing in planned communities, SMEs needing office or retail space, and agricultural investors. The business relies on land supplied by Terra Group, regulatory advantages from Smart City certification, and a heritage-rehabilitation track record as primary differentiators; revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no indications of independent funding or capital structure changes.
