As director at a residential property development company based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Laurence Grigorov keeps track of new and upcoming developments in the Johannesburg area, particularly those in the residential space. Upcoming developments offer Laurence Grigorov an insight in potential residential market trends and changes.

The Emerald Hyde Park is a luxury, state-of-the-art residential development. The Emerald provides the perfect executive lifestyle, conceived with comfort, style and quality urban living in mind. No detail has been overlooked in the design of The Emerald’s 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, with features and fittings delivering an aesthetic that is both minimalistic and environmentally conscious.

Designed by award winning Italian architect, Enrico Daffonchio, The Emerald combines striking contemporary lines and a blend of urban materials. The architectural approach is strongly rooted in Daffonchio’s formative years in northern Italy, where classical architecture coexists with Italian rationalism and a chemistry of tradition and innovation shapes all aspects of design. “We are privileged and proud to shape this fantastic precinct and its extensive landscaping and connect it with the beautiful Hyde Park area.” says Mr. Daffonchio.

With The Emerald, the architects have considered ease of living, accessibility and sustainability - from the well-appointed apartments to the impressive lifestyle centre. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to create apartments that are generous in their use of space and feature the finest finishes. Facilities include a café, 24/7 concierge services, fibre connectivity, communal lounges and meeting rooms. Health and leisure facilities include a 25m indoor heated pool, an outdoor heated
