40 West Street is a new commercial development in central Sandton developed
by Zenprop Property Holdings. The 27,000m 2 of P-grade office space is housed
in two linked towers constructed on a landscaped podium. The project is situated
diagonally opposite the Gautrain Station and directly opposite the entrance to the
Michelangelo Hotel, Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square.
Designed by Paragon Architects, the project consists of a 10-storey North Tower and
14-storey South Tower which will be targeting a 4-5 Star Greenstar Rating and houses a
prominent international legal practice in approximately 50% of the building, along with
one or more other tenants. This development offers 1,400 parking bays within its eight
basements, seven of which are below ground.
Streetscape
The development not only aims to enhance the internal and external environment for
the tenant and visitor, but also to enrich its urban environment. Accordingly, the street
edge is activated by a coffee shop, a convenient and beneficial addition to the bustling
pedestrian route between the Gautrain Station and the hub of Sandton.
The design aims to sensitively merge the streetscape with the commercial zone by
means of a meandering landscaped journey from pavement to podium level.
The experiential approach beneath a canopy of trees and over cascading water features
is carried from street edge, to landscaped podium, through the enclosed glass atrium
and reception and out towards the open lifestyle deck to the east side of the building.
