VILLA REGIONAL MALL, PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA
The Villa Regional Mall in Pretoria will provide a complex for over 300 retailers.
Construction began in January 2009 and will reach practical completion at the end of August 2011. From the outset of the project, the client wanted an environmentally sustainable building. From early 2008, DSB Consulting, which merged with WSP Consulting in 2010, was involved in the project and in 2009 Capicol (Pty) contracted WSP Green by Design to assist it in implementing environmental initiatives for a 4-star Green Star SA – Retail Centre v1 Design rating, which is still in progress.

• Assessing initial design intent
• Providing an introductory Green Star workshop for the client and project team to assess the rating potential of the project
• Managing the project Design and As Built registration and submission processes
• Collaborating with the client and project team members during project meetings on design and construction principles to meet rating requirements
• Liaising with the Green Building Council of South Africa on Technical Clarifi cations and Credit Interpretation Requests related to Green Star submissions
