Knowledge Park provides 'smart, affordable and innovative space' KNOWLEDGE PARK at Century City has been acknowledged as one of the most innovative office developments in the country. It is the brainchild of Derek Kreunen, a well-known Cape Town entrepreneur. 'Knowledge Park has been conceived from a knowledge-based company's perspective,' says Kreunen, 'and is designed for knowledge companies who demand space that has been designed around their specific needs and requirements. 'Although attractive for large corporates like Discovery Health, who are our anchor tenants, we also cater for smaller enterprises with office space available from as little as 100m2. 'Discovery has just taken up an additional 658m2 at Knowledge Park to increase its total office space to 2 164m2,' said Kreunen. 'Tenants have access to every technological facility necessary to run a knowledge-based business efficiently and effectively.' In defining intelligent business space, Kreunen says that business owners need to be smart about how they utilise their resources: 'If a building's space is optimally used by distributing tenants' required space between what can be shared and what they individually need for exclusive use, it not only brings about cost savings, but also provides facilities not normally available to your average business.' Knowledge Park's Smart Business Suite and FlexiRate(r) rental model are unique to the property market as tenants pay only for the space they use. The discounted rental rates are also far below the market average for the same grade of building and facilities. Knowledge Park's Smart Business Suite gives tenants access to a vast range of state-of-the-art facilities that include a 16-seat boardroom equipped for data video projection, telephone and video conferencing; a 12-seat meeting room equipped for telephone conferencing; a training room equipped with 12 Pentium IV Dell PCs on a dedicated local network; a 48-seat auditorium; a fully equipped restaurant; a main feeder foyer to all the facility rooms and the restaurant; a suitably equipped gymnasium and two executive penthouse apartments. The technical infrastructure of the building has various enhancements. Dedicated and specially protected patch rooms on each floor provide convenient connection for tenant business units to the satellite dish, telephone and data systems and the specific building telephone via its own PABX. A Telkom Node Room has also been installed and is operational. Undercover or open parking is available and is allocated on entitlement according to the usable space occupied by the tenant. The overall parking bay ratio is four per 100m2 occupied by the tenant - a notably higher ratio than normal in Cape Town. The property is managed by RMB Properties (Pty) Ltd. An on-site management team is responsible for all operational management aspects and is available onsite during office hours.
