DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND The Main Straight took some 10 years to evolve from residential homes to the leading premium grade office development in Bryanston. The consortium of Enigma Property, RPP Developments and the Rezek brothers (Peter and Anthony), went through a lengthy and complicated process of securing and rezoning five stands to make the 11,200m 2 development possible. Boogertman + Partners were on board from conception and were inspirational in creating modern, energy efficient and striking designs. Having always been a popular decentralised office node, the Bryanston commercial node became even more sought after with the completion of the Nicol Way Shopping Centre and amenities such as the new Virgin Active gym. With many executives residing in the area, the need for more premium grade, modern and energy efficient office space increased.
