Project

Black River Park - Central Building

Cape Town, Western Cape Download Case Study

Project Overview

Central building was built during 2007 for occupation at the beginning of 2008. The building was a departure from the traditional red brick of Black River Park and took on a more modern lightweight steel and glass facade. The building incorporated balconies / overhangs together with performance glass throughout to reduce the significant heat loading. All the available space on the building's roof has been covered in PV panels and a co-financing project between the landlord and tenants has resulted in more than 50% of lights in tenant spaces being upgraded to LED’s.
