The site covers the entire block between Stella Street , West Street and Rivonia Road and incorporates an extension to Gwen Lane to aid the city circulation routes .
Overview The building consists of 30,000m 2 of premium office space spread over 12 levels on top of an 8-level super basement within a future mixed-use precinct . The project formed the first phase of the full development , with a further 4 buildings of mixed use being planned . The precinct has been designed as being completely open to the public , providing a space that is easily accessible and enjoyable to the people of Sandton .

Spaces and opportunities have been integrated into the route , with a small component of retail at pavement level , an amphitheater and seating spaces
