This new development , in the heart of the Centurion CBD , designed by Boogertman + Partners , consists of two open plan office buildings constructed in two phases , with a total gross lettable area of around 23,000m 2 . The building was designed for the client , PPS , a leading financial services provider .
Tiffany Boesch , Group Financial Director of PPS , said the company was proud to be part of the development as it is PPS Property Fund Trust ’ s latest green office development . “ Investing in green technology will not only lead to cost reductions in the long term , but will also result in reduced use of resources and have a positive impact on the health and wellness of the occupants and surrounding community ,” she said .

Phase 2 would be entirely leased to other tenants . The brief also involved the creation of a memorable place within the urban context which would refreshingly allow the free flow of pedestrian public through the development .
Site The site , which previously consisted of an open parking area , is bound by existing buildings with extensive servitudes and dolomitic ground conditions that proved to
Large pebble shaped planters with mounded earth and small trees also double as informal seating places
