Attacq's Lynnwood Bridge Retail and Office Park

The property market in various epicenters around South Africa is booming. Financial analysts have spoken widely of a recession, however, this hasn’t detoured investors, from investing furiously in various property developments with the industrial, residential and commercial sectors. Certain developments have been met with both praise and contention. This is also widely by which side one happens to be on.

Regardless of criticism or praise, developers have an obligation to consider carbon footprints when making such huge commercial structures and buildings. Progress is vitally important as South Africa reaches an era where unemployment is rife and economic stability is questionable. However what about the environment and the question of sustainability?

This is where green rated buildings come into play and why they are hugely important for the sustainability of communities whilst working within the lines of sustainable economic growth, which is vitally important in a time of serious need for job creation and housing.
