PROJECT UPDATES
Prime Plaza 2
kicks off
By Brett Marlin
PrimeTime aims for a prime grade rating and 5-star
green building certification
After the unparalleled success of Prime Plaza and the continued demand for
PrimeTime’s A-grade office space in the CBD, PrimeTime has acquired the
property in between Prime Plaza and Mashatu Terrace.
This new development is going to be an extension of Prime Plaza, with the
traffic and pedestrians having free access between both developments, so as
to form one cohesive, continuous development.
As with Prime Plaza, parking is of paramount importance and it has been
decided that to provide as much parking as possible, a double basement
over the full extent of the site is going to be developed. This will give
more than sufficient parking for future developments and may well provide
additional parking for Prime Plaza 1.
As with Mashatu Terrace, we intend developing the building in line with
the requirements of the Green Building Council of SA and are planning to
achieve a ‘Design’ and an ‘As built’ 5-star rating for the development. This
certainly is going to put the development, PrimeTime and Time Projects at the
forefront of the green building movement in Botswana. It will also provide
those corporate tenants who want to comply with international trends and
require carbon credits with an option for where to move their new offices.
