Rosebank Link is a new office development located at 173 Oxford Road , Rosebank - next to the Gautrain Station , The Zone and Rosebank Mall . The building was planned for a total rentable area of 18,744m ² of office area and 1,553m ² of ground floor retail area . The brief was to transform the current existing building into an expressive steel and glass clad office building , making it a uniquely imposing icon of the Rosebank skyline . Standing at a total of 15 stories above ground the building consists of 2 basement parking levels , a ground floor public / retail level , 5 parkade levels and 9 stories of offices above a podium level .
Developed by Redefine Properties and designed by Paragon Architects , this is one of the last remaining ongoing projects in the R7 billion facelift of the Rosebank precinct . Identified as one of 35 priority development areas in greater Johannesburg , with the focus on improved service delivery and infrastructure , recent projects have included Rosebank Towers and the Rosebank Fire Station , and additional work at the Rosebank Galleria and The Mews .
Unique Design “ As a building standing foremost in the centre of a developing cosmopolitan area , it was important to have a unique design that served the needs of the client and its neighbours , as well as the public , in a new , exciting , and smart way ,” Paragon Senior Project Architectural Technologist Warren Wesson comments .
The East and West façades consist of a composite aluminium-clad shell with articulated strip windows to allow light and views to filter into every office module
