South Africa's richest square mile, Sandton, has consistently held the highest level of new office developments in the country.

2020 can be described as the year incredible mixed-use developments are hitting the market. These are changing the commercial landscape and leading Sandton into a new chapter of modernity, energy-efficiency, architectural brilliance, and technological smarts.

So if you're currently looking for premium office space in Sandton, these five commercial buildings may just be exactly what your business needs:
