Meh. Looks like it could be a building in the midwest of the US. Bland. Yet too bold at same time. Not elegant. Unrefined.

Also, this is only 7 office floors. 1 parking floor above ground. Not more than 8 in total. Definitely not 12

Lydon
February 18th, 2013, 08:55 PM
^^ So is the render outdated then? Because I count 11 floors :/

ZoalBucket
February 18th, 2013, 09:01 PM
Nah these newer renders were uploaded recently. Maybe theres only 7 office floors but the buildings height is closer to 12 because of the base etc.. Check the video, its definitely structurally higher than 8 floors

The youtube video says that it consists of AAA-grade office space and apartments, which explains the other floors.

Demolition of the existing building must be imminent. They had moving vehicles there yesterday and today and were moving everything out.

The existing structure was demolished today

ZoalBucket
March 18th, 2013, 05:29 PM
Here's a pic of the ongoing demolition... Looks like this one is officially a go. All these mid rise buildings in Sandton are making it ever denser. Note the cranes for Sandton Skye and 90 Grayston in the background.

Sorry its just the one update. Ill try do the rounds tomorrow or the next day again. Just been really busy

Compare with my previous shot of the board. The buildings are gone

When this is eventually finished, the congestion at this intersection will be a nightmare

no just in leasing phase

ZoalBucket
April 30th, 2013, 07:19 PM
why has the ground work stopped? they've even removed all the construction vehicles

Surely they can continue while the leasing phase is in effect?
