The GreenBay housing development, designed by Boogertman + Partners on behalf of Balwin Properties, is part of the Green property portfolio. This high-density secure living residential estate promotes a healthy family lifestyle through landscaped running trails and parkland that encourage walking within the estate. Its communal core features a Green Barn Lifestyle Centre with an indoor gym, green café, multi-purpose sports field, and more.

The focus on sustainable design is continued throughout the estate, and each GreenBarn is designed to achieve the highest green star rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa.

Andre Wright, Director at Boogertman + Partners, states that the attention to green design principles and the balanced lifestyle provided by the amenities set these developments apart in the market. He notes, “Winning the Best Social Housing Africa category in these awards was a fantastic achievement. However, to win the overall category and to be the international winner is gratifying recognition for many months of hard work by our teams and the client. The partnership has resulted in some groundbreaking concepts, and there are still more to come as our work in this space evolves.”
