nightsbridge is a redeveloped office park in Bryanston, Johannesburg being
developed by Emira Property Fund. Upon completion this prime located office
development will boast 29,352m 2 in terms of GLA office space. Located in Sloane
Street opposite the Didata Campus, redevelopment commenced in November 2015.
Linked to this development has been the upgrading of the intersection of Sloane Street
and William Nicol Drive in order to minimise the impact of expected additional traffic
feeds in the area, now and into the future.
One of the seven new buildings planned houses the South African headquarters of
global multi-disciplinary engineering consultants, WSP.
Client Brief
Designed by Boogertman + Partners, the design brief from the client, the Emira Property
Fund, was for the phased redevelopment of the previous office complex of two storey
office buildings. The previous character of the Knightsbridge Manor development
was office buildings within a green park with a large number of fully grown trees.
The brief therefore was to ensure that the impact of the increased bulk GLA from
±10,000m² to ±30,000m² was mitigated by relocating indigenous trees and upgrading
the landscaping and planting of endemic plant species.
