Any commuter between Johannesburg and Pretoria will have seen the new iconic 26-story PwC headquarters building being developed in Waterfall City.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0R1.5 billion development will comprise 40,000 square metres of space and house 3,500 PwC employees as a new HQ for company, upon completion in early 2018.<\/p>\n

According to the developers, the height of the tower – and the fact that it is situated on a high point in Waterfall City – will make it the tallest structure on the corridor between the Sandton and Pretoria\/Tshwane CBDs.<\/p>\n

The tower will be visible from anywhere within a 30km radius.<\/p>\n

The building is located on the same site as Mall of Africa – the R5 billion shopping complex that will serve as the hub for the Waterfall development project.<\/p>\n

The 323ha Waterfall City development project has a completion price tag of R71 billion, with 11 years of development still remaining..<\/p>\n

The developers have released few images of the tower build, showing what the skyscraper will eventually look like in 2018.<\/p>\n

Currently the tower is a concrete cylinder that will serve as the core for the final build.<\/p>\n
