The relocation of 2 500 of energy and chemicals company Sasol’s employees from its 11 commercial properties spread across Johannesburg, including the Sturdee road complex, in Rosebank, to the company’s global headquarters, Sasol Place, in Sandton, has started.

The 67 000 m2, ten-storey development is located at 50 Katherine street, with construction having been overseen by real estate and facilities management consulting company Betapoint.

Construction of the behemoth building, which is in the shape of an ‘S’, started in 2013. The building comprises seven parking levels and features a restaurant, a coffee shop, a wellness centre, a convenience store, a fitness centre and a dedicated gallery and sculpture garden that will showcase Sasol’s continued support of local contemporary artists through its diverse collection.

“Sasol Place exemplifies our vision to create an inspiring twenty-first-century workplace. Over and above the cost-optimisation benefits, our new global headquarters embeds our operating model, enhances our employee value proposition and realises our ‘One Sasol, one bottom line’ mindset,” Sasol strategic projects senior VP Fay Hoosain said.

Sasol Place has also been awarded a 5-star Green Star South Africa design category rating by the Green Building Council of South Africa.

A range of natural habitats has also been created, with individual indigenous biomes attracting small wildlife, insects and birds, on the external decks, within the grounds, as well as on the rooftop of the building.

“We are proud that, together with our partners, we have created an iconic landmark with approximately 90% of the overall budget channelled back into the South African economy – a significant achievement on such a complex project,” Hoosain added.
