pedestrian scale. The architecture is hoping to
set a benchmark for the architectural language
of this precinct, providing a fresh contemporary
aesthetic and continuing the resurgence in
fresh and modern buildings within greater
Century City.
DEVELOPER’S COMMENT
The Bridgeways precinct in Century City,
being developed by the Rabie Property Group
and which will eventually comprise around
Bridgeway
150,000m2 of prime commercial space, is
being planned as an entire green precinct.
The first two office buildings – both
around 4,000m2 – have been completed
and are home to The Business Centre and
Philip Morris South Africa respectively.
Both buildings have achieved a Green Star
SA – Office Design V1 rating from the Green
Building Council of South Africa, and are
applying for a second Green Star rating in the
“As Built” category.
