It has extensive highway frontage and is highly visible to commuters who travel daily between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Brief Deloitte was previously located in a campus-style development where various different business units occupied a number of separate stand-alone buildings. The brief was to accommodate Deloitte’s extensive space requirements in a way that improved company culture by allowing for greater interaction and collaboration between staff while at the same time improving efficiency, reducing costs and eliminating the duplication of services. The building comprises 42,500m 2 of workspace, with a development cost of some R1.5 billion and was designed to allow for a maximum occupancy of close to 5,000 people. It consists of a superstructure of seven levels and a semi-basement structure of four levels which houses almost 2,000 parking bays. Atterbury developed the new Deloitte African HQ on behalf of a 50/50 joint venture between co-owners Atterbury and Attacq Limited.
