DELIVERING EXCELLENCE: Tri-Star Construction Completes Brooklyn House Phase 3
Tri-Star Construction successfully executed the delivery of 297 beds of purpose-built student accommodation in Brooklyn, Pretoria.
Tri-Star Construction, as the principal contractor, has achieved the successful completion of Brooklyn House Phase 3— a premium student accommodation development for long-standing client Mile Investments( Pty) Ltd. Situated in the dense urban node of Brooklyn, Pretoria, the project demanded a contractor with technical proficiency, experience in the construction of multi-storey Student Accommodation, and a commitment to delivering on programme and specification.
The development comprises two separate structures— an eightstorey block and a three-storey block, strategically positioned around a shared courtyard, with integrated parking and external works to enhance accessibility and aesthetic continuity across all phases. The combined offering of 297 fully furnished student beds and amenities underscores the project’ s alignment with modern student lifestyle trends, blending functionality with a high-quality built environment.
Tri-Star’ s construction methodology prioritised efficiency and structural integrity, employing fast-track construction using traditional formwork and a concrete-framed structure with brick infill. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing( MEP) services were coordinated through BIM-assisted planning, enabling early clash detection and seamless integration between trades.
The buildings are designed for environmental performance, with Tri- Star managing the installation of rooftop solar thermal systems, energyefficient LED lighting, water-saving fixtures, and smart metering systems, contributing towards EDGE Certification compliance. Internal finishes were selected for durability and lifecycle performance, with a focus on low-VOC materials and robust detailing throughout circulation and communal areas.
Despite challenges such as high site congestion, inclement weather, and the complexities of working adjacent to occupied phases, Tri-Star maintained programme fidelity through phased sequencing, effective contractor coordination, and a proactive stakeholder communication strategy. The end result: a defect rate of under 0.5 issues per unit at practical completion, and delivery within budget and on schedule.
In line with Tri-Star’ s broader commitment to community development and transformation, the project created over 285 employment opportunities, engaged seven local subcontractors, and facilitated skills development through structured learnerships and university placement partnerships.
Brooklyn House Phase 3 reinforces Tri-Star Construction’ s position as a leading contractor in the residential and student accommodation sector, bringing the total number of student beds delivered by Tri-Star to 23,100. The company continues to deliver projects that are not only of good quality but also socially responsive and commercially viable.
