Barlow Park is a multi-billion-rand mixed-use precinct in Sandton , Johannesburg , between the M1 highway and Katherine Street , alongside Innisfree Park . Developed by Atterbury , Divercity , the Moolman Group and Twin City , The Barloworld Campus , previously headquarters of industrial brand management company Barloworld Limited , has been redeveloped as a high-quality , high-density affordable mixed-use residential precinct . The multi-phase development also includes shops and restaurants , a school , shared offices and other supporting amenities within an open-air precinct .

Its close proximity to the economic hub of Sandton Central aims to establish an inclusive , empowering , sustainable community with access to economic opportunity and green spaces , counteracting the urban sprawl and spatial segregation that historically has characterised Johannesburg .
Design Approach GASS Architecture Studios ’ approach to the development was intentionally understated , creating enduring ‘ background buildings ’ that would be contextually responsive and respect the overall character of the area rather than seeking to erect an architectural landmark . The precinct plan places significant emphasis on the space between buildings and the quality of the shared spaces as much as on the buildings themselves .
