A biophilic building is starting construction in Cape Town’s CBD.
A biophilic building incorporates elements of natural lighting and ventilation, natural landscape features and other natural elements.
According to development managers Gardner Property Solutions and Lurra Capital, the building will integrate solar panels, which can double the electricity quota needed to power the common areas. “We are seeing robust interest in The Fynbos from local as well as foreign buyers and expats,” Paul Upton“In fact, sales have been so strong that the developers are considering increasing the price of the remaining units.”
“This rising demand has led to an increase in property prices and a scarcity of stock in Cape Town’s suburbs. On occasions, demand has outstripped supply in some of the most desirable Cape Town areas, such as the southern suburbs, Atlantic seaboard, V&A Waterfront and the CBD.”
