The precinct will promote a 24h lifestyle with an office, retail, hotel and residential mixed-use environment. There is a strong emphasis on the design of the public spaces. The vision for Oxford Parks is to build on the strength and unique energy of Rosebank to develop, from the outset, a dynamic, vibrant urban lifestyle with a strong pedestrian focus, located close to public transport offerings. Implementing a soft security policy without fences, the precinct extends the city in a seamless and fully integrated manner. Phase 1 The first phase of Oxford Parks is organised around a diagonal division of the site as a pedestrian extension of Oxford Road, inviting the eye and the pedestrians themselves into the heart of the precinct. 199 Oxford occupies the south eastern corner of Oxford Parks and is an office and retail mixed use building of six floors with a gross floor area (GFA) of 10,035m². The three basement levels are approximately 28,000m 2 in size with all parking below ground, improving the public environment.
