Project Description
Exxaro aims to consolidate its current offices in Pretoria and Johannesburg into one workspace at a convenient midpoint for staff and business partners.

The building will be able to accommodate 1 400 staff members and have a gross lettable area of 18 500 m².

Several environmentally sustainable initiatives have been incorporated into the building’s design. Green measures include zoned lighting, energy efficient building services and systems, water efficient fixtures, rainwater harvesting for use in toilets and landscape irrigation, waterwise landscaping, and low volatile organic compound interior finishes to ensure a high level of indoor air quality, in addition to abundant fresh air.

Terraces will skirt the building, creating outdoor parklike areas, which will also connect to the outdoors, with balconies and a roof terrace with 360º views.

The building will also feature a restaurant and canteen with its own kitchen, a state-of-the-art auditorium and a coffee shop.
