Both buildings have achieved a Green Star SA – Office Design V1 rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa 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. 53
