Park Lane West is a new commercial building situated centrally in Menlyn Maine , Pretoria . Under development since 2008 , Menlyn Maine is fast becoming the business precinct of choice in Pretoria , with a mixed use offering of residential , retail , hospitality , medical and commercial .

Developed by Menlyn Maine Investment Holdings and Barrow Properties , Park Lane West was the first building developed mainly for sectional title use ; it addresses a demand in the commercial market and offers flexibility which increases the appeal for investors and tenants .
Design Concept After considering the brief and the site parameters , the architects , Boogertman + Partners , felt it was clear the best design solution would be a perimeter office block with a central open atrium & garden . A focus on natural light and ventilation gives the building a light and airy feel .
Park Lane West was designed to provide for multiple or single tenant use per level , thus it was important to provide flexible access and service points for the different layout options on each level . This directly contributes to the design aesthetic , resulting in a staggered window grid following the differentiating floor plans and tenant needs .
The notion of using a single building to host small and large enterprises affords all users the benefit of a professional corporate image , but still allows for individual fit out
The architectural language is inspired by the larger Menlyn Maine precinct . The look and feel is Contemporary Natural .
