Growthpoint Properties excelled at this year’s property industry awards, achieving three prestigious acknowledgements for its excellence in innovation, green building and commercial office property development. The SAPOA (South African Property Owners Association) Innovative Excellence in Property Development Awards celebrate exceptional design quality, green building, originality and efficiency in the commercial, industrial, residential and other property spaces and showcase some of the country’s most significant property achievements.
The newly developed Growthpoint App scooped a commendation for its innovation in the property sector. The development of No. 5 Silo at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, of which Growthpoint is the 50% co-owner, took the overall green award for its contribution to ongoing leadership of green building in the country as well as winning the category for commercial office development. This is the fourth year running that a Growthpoint has been acknowledged for its innovation by the awards. Last year the ground-breaking Greenovate Awards programmes took the first place in this category.
Norbert Sasse, CEO of Growthpoint Properties, comments: “These awards underscore Growthpoint’s ongoing commitment to provide space to thrive with innovative and sustainable property solutions. Receiving this award from SAPOA is a testament to the passion and commitment to excellence of all our people involved in the winning initiatives. We are justifiably proud of what our teams have achieved. We are also delighted to have our excellence in green building, commercial office development and innovation in the sector recognised by SAPOA.”
