Your Key to Property: Sustainable solutions for property developments

'Sustainability' has become a buzzword, not only because we are now more aware of nature's value in our mental health and well-being, but also due to the challenges we face in South Africa with load shedding and essential services like water. Collins Residential, a developer with a strong focus on sustainability, has implemented various solutions in their KZN North Coast developments. In an interview with Geoff Perkins, Head of Residential Projects at Collins Residential, we learn about their approaches to landscaping, water and electricity management, as well as off-the-grid solutions. Perkins, a native of KwaZulu-Natal, has been involved in the development of numerous estates across the province, including Emberton, Mount Edgecombe Retirement Village, Annandal, and several prominent North Coast estates like Zululami Luxury Coastal Estate, Seaton Estate, and Lalela Estate.
