This development , actually pronounced “ Tirrit ” comprises over 200 apartments on 13 Residential floors , including luxury penthouses . The units range in size from approximately 53m ² to 135m ² and are expertly designed to make maximum use of the floor space . The penthouses offer up to 260m ² of elegant luxury , and that luxury is only topped by the magnificent views of the surrounding areas .

The Tyrwhitt will also offer its guests further convenience with a restaurant on the street level of the building in future , and currently includes 24-hour concierge , state of the art security and ample underground parking with three underground and two above ground basement levels giving it an international feel in a sought-after commercial and residential zone .

The Tyrwhitt is located in the heart of Rosebank , directly adjacent to the Rosebank Mall and within 300 metres of the local Gautrain station . The suburb boasts tree-lined and pedestrian-friendly streets and a multitude of amenities for residents to enjoy .

This project was started back in late 2014 and only came to completion in 2020 , owing largely to the fact that during the timeline the main building contractor as well as some other subcontractors went out of business . Of course , several delays came about during the Covid lockdown and restriction period too .

Timing around the project in the beginning stages also played a major role as the developers wanted to wait for the opportune time to get the project started ( in terms of supply and demand for this type of unit ) and so although design and co-ordinations were already well underway with the architect , the project was put on ice until 2016 – whereafter it basically had to be re-launched with major changes to the design .

The building today , although handed over in 2020 , is still in the “ selling phase ” while other units are used as short-term and long-
