EAST ELEVATION

The mixed-use aspect of the development offers shoppers,
office workers, residents and visitors a first-rate, trendy and
safe shopping and leisure destination in the Johannesburg
CBD. With the introduction of FATTi, Atterbury’s new shopping
centre analytics and technology solutions service, current
footfall is being accurately measured at nearing 500,000
per month.
Sustainability
Energy management was a crucial consideration in the design
of the overall scheme. A state-of-the-art thermal energy storage
air conditioning system using ice storage achieves peak energy
demand reduction. Two 76m3 tanks located in the four basements
levels are filled with Cristopia balls and glycol-infused chilled

water that make up this ice storage system. Fresh air supply
and fresh air ventilation exceeds the SANS minimum by 40%
contributing to overall sustainability and a comfortable working
environment for occupants.
Nedbank’s offices have achieved a 4 Star Green Star SA Office
Design rating awarded by the Green Building Council of South
Africa, with the As-Built application currently under review at the
time of writing. The three office levels that sit above the mall were
configured for the tenant‘s requirements, and the floor plate was
designed to maximise natural light with views to the exterior or
two internal atriums. These office spaces use at least 30% less
energy than required under the SANS 204 regulations, using
efficient heating and cooling systems, as well as efficient lighting
and design elements.
