Stockland MPark’s first workplace building achieves world leading Green Star rating
Stockland’s workplace building in MPark at 11 Khartoum Road, Macquarie Park, has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star Design and As-Built v1.3 rating from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).
The rating is the highest a building can achieve through the GBCA’s Design & As-Built assessment system and represents world leadership across eight categories, including resilience, nature, and leadership.
Stockland Head of Workplace Development, Frank Ianni said the rating recognises the sustainability-first approach at every stage of the building’s development.
“We are proud to have achieved a 6 Star Green Star rating at 11 Khartoum Road. The team has worked hard to create a vibrant and sustainable workplace building that prioritises smart design, energy efficiency, and the use of low carbon materials,” Mr Ianni said.
“We know that the sustainability credentials of buildings are a key decision driver for tenants and investors who actively seek future-ready buildings. 11 Khartoum Road aligns not only to our sustainability values and targets, but those of our tenants, too.”
GBCA Chief Executive Officer, Davina Rooney commended Stockland’s achievement.
“MPark at 11 Khartoum Road is an inspirational fully electric, highly efficient building powered by renewables that shares a glimpse into the future of work. Here, Stockland has created an impressive environment that brings people together while helping tenants meet their ESG goals,” Ms Rooney said.
“11 Khartoum Road showcases Stockland’s commitment to action on climate change and GBCA congratulates all involved.”
This is Stockland’s first 6 Star Green Star Design and As-Built v1.3 rating for a workplace building and has been delivered by our builder partner, Taylor.
Stockland and Taylor worked together prioritising sustainability throughout the entire construction process to create a modern workplace.
Stockland remains committed to its sustainability journey as it nears completion of MPark Stage 1, a three-hectare mixed-use commercial precinct in the heart of the Macquarie Park Innovation District.
Stockland will aim to further reduce carbon emissions during construction as it completes the precinct. It will also embed circular design principles, target net zero carbon emissions in operations, and continue its engagement with the local Dharug and First Nations community to authentically integrate Designing with Country principles throughout the precinct.
The development of MPark is in partnership with Ivanhoé Cambridge, the real estate group of CDPQ, and demonstrates the sustainable investment ambitions of both businesses.
