One Central Park – Sydney Australia

On our way back from the Sustainable House we came upon the construction site for One Central Park, a Frasers Property.  The have world renowned architect Jean Nouval from France and will boast the world’s tallest vertical garden.  It is located on the southern edge of the CBD and is a $2 billion dollar village with a park at its heart.  There is a pretty cool feature suspended in the air over the lower building - a heliostat which at night transforms into an LED light show.   Nicola

Ericson, a sales executive for the property took the time to show us around the sales center which included one and two bedroom condos that were selling between $400,000 – $700,000 in which they have presold 380 of some 500 units.  The have incorporated many sustainable concepts and features throughout the complex.  One that stuck out for me was the water…they anticipate they will catch enough rainwater and will have enough excess gray water to supply the University across the street with water to flush the toilets with.  Another feature was the way the refrigerator was being ventilated which was how Michael Dobbs illustrated in his book, Sustainable House.
