Foreshore Place (formerly ABSA Centre) is a mixed-use skyscraper in Adderley Street, in the central business district (CBD) of Cape Town, South Africa. [1] [2]

Contents

History

The mixed-use tower was completed in 1970 [3] as Trust Bank Centre, with half of the building offices and half containing the Heerengracht Hotel. It was later purchased by the predecessor to the ABSA banking group and converted to offices, known as ABSA Centre, while the hotel portion became the Hotel on St Georges. In 2019, the building was redeveloped as premium mixed-use residential and office space and renamed Foreshore Place. [2]

Description

The building is 117 metres (384 ft) tall. It consists of a four-storey podium and a 29-storey tower block characterised by a concrete central core. [4] Its continuous glass curtain wall façades were the first of their kind in Cape Town.
