This project is transforming a former corporate park in Sandton, a suburb of Johannesburg, into a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood, creating a true ‘city within a city’.
The development offers affordable, high-quality apartments alongside a range of amenities designed for modern, integrated urban living, including shops, restaurants and schools.
Phase 1 features two residential blocks above a retail complex which contains a school, restaurants, gym facilities, a recreation centre and a business centre. Phase 2, due for completion in May 2025, will include two residential blocks consisting of 846 units and commercial office space.

Barlow Park’s proximity to Sandton Central Business District will help foster an inclusive, sustainable community, giving residents access to economic opportunities and landscaped green spaces. Designed for walkability, the precinct incorporates layered transitions from public to private areas.
RLB’s cost managers are working closely with the project team, helping them to navigate all the complex construction challenges. By leveraging our extensive library of cost data and drawing on our experience of delivering landmark projects, we will ensure the development stays on track and within budget.
Barlow Park Phase 1, which meets the preliminary sustainability requirements for the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) green building standard, was the winner of the mixed-use development category at the 2024 SAPOA Property Development Awards for Innovative Excellence.
