Oxford Parks: A catalyst for urban regeneration

Oxford Parks, which officially broke ground in April 2017, is envisaged to be a sustainable and cosmopolitan medium-density urban environment that brings 300,000sqm of development rights to the Dunkeld Precinct linking Illovo to Rosebank along Oxford Road in Johannesburg.

The precinct is targeting a 4-Star Green Star Sustainable Precinct Pilot Rating, and each building will be encouraged to attain a minimum 4-Star Green Star Design certification. Carollyn Mitchell, Director at Intaprop, says that the vision is to build on the strength and unique energy of Rosebank to develop, from the outset, a dynamic, vibrant urban lifestyle with a strong pedestrian focus, located close to public transport offerings.
Mitchell explains, ?We are looking at the precinct holistically with the intention of making an exceptional intervention into the existing city structure. The vision is to create a sustainable public environment that will assist in supporting the longevity of the investment by making an attractive, pedestrian-friendly precinct with well-managed infrastructure.?
