Projects SANDTON GATE GETS SMART By Willem van der Westhuizen, C3 Climate Control Consulting Engineers Sandton Gate’s award of a 4-star certification under the Green Star SA Sustainable Precincts Tool is a first for a South African mixed-use development. Abland and Tiber joined forces to establish Sandton Gate as a world-class precinct. The development was created as a sustainable and smarter choice for businesses, residents and the general public. The precinct is strategically located on William Nicol Drive, within minutes of Sandton, Hyde Park, Rosebank and Bryanston in Gauteng. Sandton Gate is an ambitious mixed-use development that will seamlessly integrate commercial, residential and retail space with a number of lifestyle amenities in a connected, green, pedestrian-friendly setting. The precinct overlooks the Braamfontein spruit – one of Johannesburg’s longest natural greenbelts – and on the doorstep of South Africa’s financial central business district. The developers have envisaged less traffic, better business and all-round smarter living. RACA Journal 36 RACA Journal I September 2020 www.hvacronline.co.za
