Cintocare Hospital is a specialist surgical facility located in the Menlyn Maine Precinct developed by Growthpoint Properties together with Cintocare .

Client Brief The initial architectural brief to A3 Architects Johannesburg envisioned it as a symbol of mobility in the human body represented through present day construction methods , while containing a mass of complex service networks required to supply the state-ofthe-art equipment housed within .
The functional component of the brief was derived essentially from the Department of Health license for the site , which dictates the number and mix of beds and operating theatres . The hospital ’ s primary focus will be on the head and neck , spinal , neuro , and vascular surgeries with its highly specialised medical professionals supported by stateof-the-art technology with a capacity of up to 160 beds and 5 theatres , one of which is a hybrid . The brief also called for a symbolic , hi-tech hospital conforming to established Menlyn Maine Precinct guidelines and aesthetics , whilst creating not only a place for treatment but also for healing .
Working closely together , Growthpoint and Cintocare developed a tailor-made specialist surgical hospital within a high-performance space which promotes positive social and environmental interaction . The development partnership delivered the full suite of services for the hospital from inception to completion .
The 29,000m 2 hospital includes seven floors : the hospital plant room , three clinical and consulting levels and three parking levels
