Golden Acre, Modern skyscraper in Foreshore district, Cape Town, South Africa.
The Golden Acre tower rises 110 meters into the Cape Town skyline with 28 floors featuring modern architectural elements and large glass surfaces.
The building stands on the site of a 1663 storage dam, known as Wagener's Tank, which supplied water to ships and early Cape Town settlers.
The structure incorporates a shopping center that connects to Cape Town Station, where local vendors sell goods on the pedestrian bridge.
Major retailers including Ackermans, Shoprite, and Mr Price operate within the building complex, making it a central commercial destination in downtown Cape Town.
During construction in 1975, workers discovered the remains of a colonial-era canal system that transported water from the Fresh River to the wharf.
