Project Description
The development will span Sandton Drive, linking office, residential and retail spaces to create a more integrated precinct.
It will establish a dedicated pedestrian connection between Growthpoint’s The Place, located at 1 Sandton Drive, and the Sandton City shopping centre.

The deck incorporates environmentally sustainable lighting that can shift colours to reflect seasonal changes and local events. The stainless steel components and the glass viewing enclosure are being prefabricated off site in sections.
Construction of the concrete columns and walkway is under way alongside Sandton Drive, between Rivonia road and Alice Lane.
The prefabricated elements will be assembled on-site.
