Grosvenor Diversified Property Investments partner Gateway Capital has submitted a Development Application for the Stage 1 redevelopment in Thornleigh, New South Wales, Australia – which is in the final stages of being approved.

With this development, Gateway Capital is aiming to build a 4-Star Green Star building which reflects ‘Best Practice’ environmental performance. This rating builds on the minimum expectations to deliver a building that is either climate positive in operations or a higher performer in energy, water and health- related issues.

As part of the build, Gateway will be undertaking the following works to meet this standard:

• Minimum 100kw PV solar system.
• Solar hot water system.
• Rainwater collection and reuse for toilet flushing and landscaping irrigation.
• Low Volatile Organic Compound paints, carpets and sealants.
• LED lighting throughout the facility.
• Drought resistant landscaping and smart irrigation systems.
• Building management systems to manage and report on power consumption of tenancies.
• Planting of an additional 100 locally indigenous trees and 1,000 shrubs and groundcovers to offset the ecological impact on site.
