What does winning an IPA mean to you?

Where to from here?
The awards are a yardstick and we’re very proud to be at
the leading edge of innovation in design, lifestyle offering
and sustainability. Balwin is officially the largest IFC
EDGE developer in the world, resulting in lower energy
and water consumption during and after construction,
which we’ve turned into a financial benefit for our clients
through our green bonds. Going forward, we’re looking
to address specific challenges in South Africa, such as
off-grid power at our current developments to alleviate
loadshedding and black water reticulation.
An innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank
Group, EDGE makes it easy to design and certify
resource-efficient and zero-carbon buildings of every
type, everywhere.
