Links to OR Tambo International Airport and the business hubs of Waterfall City and Sandton are accessed by the major N1 and R21 transport arteries that frame the site . On a localised scale the development will become the centre of the immediate neighbourhood and further connect to the east and west of Pretoria via Solomon
Mahlangu Drive which has been widened as part of the development and features a new intersection and traffic signals . A new bridge has been constructed over the N1 highway as part of the project , with a convenient link road .
