Growthpoint Properties has officially opened the Sandton Drive Link Bridge.

Spanning the key arterial route of Sandton Drive, the new R26m pedestrian bridge directly connects Growthpoint’s premium office building, The Place at 1 Sandton Drive, with Sandton City shopping centre.

Designed for safety, accessibility, and visual impact, the bridge not only improves convenience for tenants of The Place but also makes it safer for pedestrians to move through business district, Sandton Central. By directly linking the two buildings, the bridge also connects commercial, retail, residential, and public spaces in Sandton Central and Sandown while provide street-level pedestrian access to the U.S. Consulate which neighbours The Place.

Constructed with a focus on durability, safety and design, the bridge features stainless steel balustrades, a glass-covered viewing deck, and lighting that adds a dynamic presence to the Sandton skyline.

The project was developed in partnership with Sandton City, the Sandton Central Management District, and the City of Johannesburg – the result of years of planning.
