Block 5: Powering a Sustainable Future

Stepping Up to Our Sustainable Energy Objectives From the outset, the developers of Block 5 were determined to develop an exciting new office space in Riverside that was going to be in the vanguard of design style and sustainability. Block 5 was designed to harmonise with its surroundings, leveraging thermal mass for passive heating and cooling and maximising the use of natural daylight to illuminate the interior, an effort to reduce energy demand. A significant development milestone in our green initiatives journey was achieved with the completion of a solar power installation in April 2024, at a capital cost of R 2.1 million.

Block 5 now Chock a Block as York Timbers Moves In

Premier office space in Mbombela’s first office park has attracted another Blue-Chip client. York Timbers has joined an exclusive, upmarket mix of professional tenants in Block 5 and quickly made themselves at home. Incorporated in 1916, York is an integrated forestry company, the largest solid wood processor producing lumber and plywood in South Africa. Their relocation to the Riverside Precinct, the heartbeat of Mpumalanga’s capital city, Mbombela, places them in the business centre of the province yet close to their forestry and processing operations in Sabie. The Directors and shareholders of Block 5 extend a warm welcome to York and wish them every happiness and success in their new home.
