Illovo Central is the second building to be developed by FWJK in the prominent Illovo Node , which is centrally located to both Sandton and Rosebank CBD ’ s . It is located on a ridge which allows for commanding views of the Sandton CBD to the north east , as well as more placid views to the west across Hyde Park to Northcliff and the Magaliesburg mountains in the distance .
The Brief Illovo Central is a 15-storey mixed use building comprising 1,000m 2 of retail , 4,700m 2 of A-Grade office space , as well as 125 high-end residential units .
Part of the brief was for Illovo Central to carry through the aesthetics of its immediate neighbour , Illovo Point , which was also developed by FWJK . Illovo Central was to be a modern , sophisticated mixed use building with efficient design and planning principles and the exterior was to blend seamlessly with the uses within the building , but also mirror Illovo Point so that the two buildings would read and function as part of a precinct .
The ground floor retail spills out toward a landscaped sidewalk setting on Rivonia Road which is perfect for cafes and restaurants . Office space occupies level 6 , 7 and part of level 8 , whilst the residential units are located on levels 9 to 14 .
There is a lavish common reception on the ground floor with a drop-off zone centred around a cascading water-feature . Level 8 is home to a fully fitted and operated gym ,
