10 Parks Boulevard & 55 Eastwood: Building with Purpose and Passion

In October 2025, 10 Parks Boulevard and 55 Eastwood achieved 6-Star Green Star certifications – a recognition of sustainability leadership woven into the project’s DNA.


Walk through Dunkeld Precinct and you’ll feel it instantly. Sunlight spills across the piazzas, cyclists glide past on shaded lanes, and cafés hum with life at the street edge. 10 Parks Boulevard and 55 Eastwood aren’t just buildings, they’re living, breathing parts of Johannesburg.

Designed with Intent

From the outset, the development team asked: How do we build for people, not just for compliance? The answer was clear: design with intent. That meant sourcing materials locally, cutting transport emissions, and supporting South African suppliers. Sustainability wasn’t treated as a checklist; it was woven into the DNA of the project.

Beyond Standards

The HVAC systems here don’t just meet SANS requirements; they exceed them. Tuned for efficiency and comfort, they deliver fresher, healthier air while consuming less energy. Occupants feel the difference: cleaner air, steadier temperatures, and a workplace that supports well‑being as much as performance.

And then there’s the commitment to zero ODP (ozone‑depleting potential) emissions. By eliminating harmful refrigerants, the project protects the atmosphere while proving that world‑class sustainability can be achieved without compromise.

Spaces for People

Step outside, and the human touch is everywhere. Raised crossings, safe pedestrian routes, and cyclist‑friendly facilities make movement effortless. Hybrid and electric parking bays signal a future‑ready mindset, while smoke‑free interiors show care for health and well‑being. These aren’t afterthoughts; they’re intentional gestures that say: we value the people who work here.

World Leadership

The result? A 6-Star Green Star rating demonstrating World Leadership. But the badge is only part of the story. The real achievement is how these buildings feel: light‑filled, breathable, connected, and alive. Staff thrives, costs fall, and the city gains two landmarks that embody resilience and foresight.

Closing Thought

10 Parks Boulevard and 55 Eastwood prove that sustainability isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about courage, care, and vision. When you source locally, design beyond standards, eliminate harmful emissions, and create spaces where cyclists, pedestrians, and communities flourish, you don’t just build offices. You build legacies.
