Newinbosch shines green at the 17th Green Building Council South Africa’s Annual Convention
November 20, 2024

The Annual Convention hosted by the Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) is a highlight on the real estate calendar, drawing industry leaders, innovators, and sustainability advocates together to shape the future of green building practices.
This prestigious event serves as a platform for sharing knowledge, showcasing the latest advancements in sustainable architecture, and discussing the policies and innovations driving the green building movement. Attendees gained invaluable insights from expert speakers, networked with key players in the real estate sector, and explore cutting-edge solutions aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the built environment.
The GBCSA Convention is more than just a gathering; it’s a catalyst for change, fostering collaboration and inspiring a collective commitment to creating healthier, more sustainable communities across South Africa.
Hosted in the Century City Conference Centre, who also takes sustainability very seriously, the industry and experts converged. Also a lead sponsor, Century City Conference Centre has partnered with GBCSA for many years to host its annual convention. The building is itself a 4-Star Green Star certified building as part of Century City Urban Square.







“Newinbosch was featured as a thought leader at the Convention, and we were honoured to win the Transforming Tomorrow Award at the Gala event, a recognition that celebrates leadership in transforming the building and construction industry through innovative design and sustainable practices.” says Harold Spies, Founder of Similan Group.
This award recognises leaders that have contributed towards market transformation in the new building and construction space, through innovative design and construction initiatives that demonstrate leadership. This particularly speaks to the asset rating-based tools of Green Star New Build, Interiors and Sustainable Precincts.
Newinbosch was also a runner up in the “Highest Rated Building: for an asset rating design project (Green Star New Build, Interiors or Sustainable Precincts)” award, given for the project that attains the highest number of points in the final Green Star rating.
Spies continues, “This accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without the teamwork and dedication of Similan, the developer and design force behind Newinbosch, and Raubex, the skilled hands that brought our vision to life through construction and investment.”
Together, they not only co-sponsored the Convention but continue to push boundaries and bring meaningful change to how we build and live in South Africa.
“We’re proud to be part of a community that champions sustainability and sets new standards in green building – Newinbosch is truly shaping the future.”
