The Alice Lane development is a landmark development being added to the Sandton skyline . Situated on the corner of Alice Lane and Fifth Street in the heart of Sandton , Alice Lane is owned by Standard Bank , Pivotal Property Fund and Abland , and is being developed by Abland on behalf of the owners .

When complete , this will be one of the most desirable addresses in Sandton . Situated just opposite Sandton City shopping centre , the site is easily accessible from the M1 freeway and is within walking distance of the Sandton Gautrain station , the Sandton Towers Hotel and the Sandton Convention Centre .
The development consists of three new iconic office towers surrounding a central , ‘ streetscaped ’ piazza . The parking will be located below the piazza level and will be accessed either from Alice Lane or Fredman Drive . In total , approximately 70,000m 2 of premium grade rentable office space is being created in the three towers . The design of these buildings is distinctive and contemporary , with top-end finishes being applied inside and out .
Introduction The second building in the development , located on Alice Lane , was completed in November 2014 . It was designed in close collaboration with the end user which resulted in a very successful tenant installation . The lower levels on the northern side of the building were designed to house retail opportunities but could not be completed with the upper office levels due to the fact that the old Standard Bank branch was situated right in front of Building 2 . The branch had to be demolished and seven storeys of underground parking are currently being constructed underneath the retail portion of Building 2 that will be ready for occupation in the first quarter of 2017 .

The completion of the second building in the Alice Lane trilogy brings the vision of three iconic buildings surrounding a distinctive piazza closer to being realised
