Wedgewood Sandton is the result of the partnership of some of Africa’s top, award-winning property experts. This new offering from Balwin Properties aims to define a new way of city living for South Africans and create an “engaged and accessible lifestyle through cleverly designed spaces and unprecedented facilities”. This high-rise compact apartment block in the centre of Sandton also addresses a key urban issue of urban sprawl.

 

Ecolution Consulting initially conducted an EDGE assessment to ensure that the current designs were meeting the EDGE minimum requirements. With a few material selection and water efficiency changes the project is now able to target EDGE certification through GBCSA as the certifier. The project is currently registered and well on its way to receiving Preliminary certification within the coming few months. This will then be followed with a EDGE final certification once the project reaches practical completion whereby Ecolution, as the auditor, will conduct an onsite assessment of the submitted measures.
