The iconic development acts as a gateway to the Rosebank precinct while taking cognisance of the leafy residential suburbs that surrounds it. All of this is located directly opposite the landmark Hyatt Regency, and a short walk from the Rosebank Gautrain Station and other public transport which is plentiful in this well pedestrianised quarter. Taking a step out of its front doors will connect you to the vibrant restaurants, food, lifestyle, shopping, hospitality and entertainment offered by the popular hub of Rosebank Mall, The Zone @ Rosebank and The Firs. Developed by Growthpoint Properties to capitalise on the demand for P-grade office space in the central Rosebank precinct, which currently exceeds even that of nearby Sandton and Melrose, the premium project has been developed and refined over an eight-year period, with the Tiber WBHO Joint Venture having been on-site as main contractor since November 2017. Design Located on the arterial Oxford Road, the 9-storey development features two elongated office towers interlinked by a central atrium along the north-south axis.
