This is the one right beside Intercontinental Hotel right?

P.S.
Anyways, how safe is Sandton these days? Is it safe to walk from Radisson Blu all the way to Protea Place office building?

From what I know Sandton is very safe, there are security cameras on every street and security guards. It's not devoid of crime though. And yes, it's across from the Intercontinental.

This shall look very nice when it's done. The building in its current state looks quite dreary and run down.
