Designed by award-winning AMA
Architects, the signature office building
flows with a series of layered fluid
curvaceous forms, in flushed glaze detail.
Its welcoming triple-volume entrance and
reception open onto an airy atrium that soars
upwards through at the core of five floors of
efficient workspace.
Custom designed to meet Exxaro’s
requirements, the building’s five storeys of
offices will sit atop four storeys of structured
basement parking, creating a powerful
scale for this new landmark. This will give
Project Watch
it excellent visibility, not only for anyone
stepping out of the Gautrain Station but also
when viewed across Centurion Lake.
“Growthpoint’s new development for
Exxaro also signifies the beginning of the
urban transformation along the commercial
edge of Centurion and approaching the
Gautrain Station,” says Nico de Jager,
Regional Asset Manager for the Office
Sector of Growthpoint. “Working with
the City of Tshwane, Growthpoint is
upgrading the roads and traffic flows in
the area, including adding a new right turn
lane from Gerhard Street into West Avenue,”
explains de Jager. Traffic signal settings
on West Street, around the building, will
be refined. Also, Growthpoint is working
with the city to create a vibrant pedestrian
walkway along the development’s
street boundary.
The development broke ground in
February 2017 and construction will com-
mence from September this year. It will be
complete for occupation in early 2019 when
it will be able to accommodate up to 1,400
Exxaro staff members.
