DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS ’ COMMENT The initial concept was drawn up on a serviette at a restaurant meeting held in January 2013 between Gavin Rogaly ( PPS ), Derek Wheals ( Kale Developments ) and Andre Wright ( Boogertman ). From this initial serviette evolved the 5 star green rated , P grade building now known as PPS Centurion Square .
The concept was developed into a baseline document which PPS considered and signed off in October 2013 . Earthworks commenced immediately with major challenges regarding adverse dolomitic founding conditions being overcome by a team of engineers working with the Council of Geoscience . “ More concrete and reinforcement was cast in the foundations than the entire six level structure ,” says Derek Wheals .
Fast track design development and construction of the main structure ensued , including tenant specific interior design and installation . The first tenants , PMSA , moved into the building in October 2015 .
A 5 star green rating was designed for and achieved , making this the first 5 star green rated P grade office block to grace the Centurion skyline .
