THE CAPITAL ON THE PARK, SANDTON
The Capital on the Park is situated in the heart of Sandton along

green of Mushroom Park to the North.
Designed by GLH Architects, this development comprises 240
units situated in two unique 15 storey towers that overlook the vast
green of Mushroom Park as well as the lights of the Sandton CBD.
Mushroom Park, being one of the few green spaces in Sandton,
contains walking trails, a river and various ponds, an outdoor gym
and play areas for children, making The Capital on the Park a truly
unique development in Sandton in the same vein as the apartment
buildings of Manhattan on Central Park or London on Hyde Park.
Access is directly off Katherine Street whereby one drives
underneath one of the towers to the grand drop-off area. Parking
is provided via 3 basements. The two towers are connected by a
central reception which houses the restaurant, gym, deli style store,
business center and conferencing facilities.
The Outdoors Amenities include a champagne bar and lounge area
as well as the external sun deck which cascades down towards the
pool area and is populated by loungers and umbrellas for those who
