Abland continues to break new ground in Centurion as it adds additional buildings to its Westend Office Park , which will soon consist of six A-Grade office buildings totaling 37,000m ² in lettable spaces . The first four buildings are now complete .

The ground floor of the building contains a recessed parking level forming a base , which allows the projecting office floors and the ‘ floating cubes ’ of white structure to
