Oxford Parks: A New Urban Landmark Linking Illovo and Rosebank

Strategically positioned in Dunkeld, Oxford Parks is one of Johannesburg’s most forward-thinking mixed-use precincts — seamlessly linking Illovo and Rosebank to create a connected, walkable urban environment. Built around principles of sustainability, accessibility, and lifestyle integration, it is fast becoming the preferred location for modern businesses seeking a balance between work, wellness, and convenience.

A Connected Urban Vision

Oxford Parks has been purposefully designed to bridge the geographic and commercial gap between Illovo and Rosebank. Its tree-lined streets, landscaped public spaces, and pedestrian-friendly layout create a sense of flow through the district, encouraging people to move freely between offices, cafés, and outdoor meeting spaces. The precinct’s proximity to both the Sandton and Rosebank Gautrain stations enhances connectivity and positions it as one of Johannesburg’s most accessible business hubs.

Sustainability and Smart Design

From the outset, sustainability has been central to Oxford Parks’ development philosophy. The precinct features Green Star-rated buildings, solar-ready rooftops, and energy-efficient systems that reduce environmental impact and operational costs. With water-saving technologies, recycling initiatives, and eco-conscious landscaping, Oxford Parks exemplifies how modern commercial districts can combine functionality with environmental responsibility.

Attracting Leading Businesses

The node has quickly become home to leading corporates, professional firms, and creative agencies drawn by its location, modern infrastructure, and forward-thinking design. Office spaces in Oxford Parks offer flexible layouts, high-end finishes, and smart-building features that support hybrid working models and employee wellbeing. Its central position between Illovo and Rosebank offers the prestige of both markets without their congestion.

Lifestyle Meets Workplace

Oxford Parks offers more than just offices — it delivers an all-day lifestyle. Tenants and visitors can enjoy cafés, restaurants, and boutique retail including Proud Mary, Coalition Pizza, and Dot Coffee, as well as fitness studios and wellness spaces. This mix of work, leisure, and convenience creates a precinct that feels alive throughout the day, setting a new benchmark for urban work-life balance in Johannesburg.

Looking Ahead

With several new developments in progress and continued investment from top-tier property owners, Oxford Parks is set to strengthen its role as a catalyst for the broader Rosebank–Illovo corridor. Its combination of accessibility, sustainability, and lifestyle appeal ensures that it will remain one of Johannesburg’s most desirable business addresses for years to come.
