Situated between the Johannesburg and Sandton CBDs , and well-served in terms of freeway access , major road arterials , and public transport opportunities including the successful Gautrain , commercial and corporate tenants alike are contributing to the strong positive growth in Rosebank . The node offers excellent support amenities including retail , healthcare , services , and education , making it an excellent base from which employers enjoy operating , and the strong growth of nearby residential developments is harnessing these attractions . The neighbourhood also offers a leafy and pedestrian-friendly environment from which to access these various amenities , which gives it a point of difference from other business locations .

Site Developed by Abland and designed by GLH Architects , the project is located on the northern side of the Rosebank CBD , on the corner of Biermann and Cradock Avenues , just off the major north-south thoroughfare of Oxford Road . The land parcel is rectangular in shape and sits opposite the Hyatt Hotel and The Firs ; two well-known landmarks in Rosebank .
To augment the building ’ s strong identity , GLH used a faceted façade to express the building ’ s individuality
