Trust Bank Building

The Trust Bank Building is a 140-meter tall skyscraper in Johannesburg's central business district with 31 floors and substantial banking facilities. The structure features 14 elevators and multiple office spaces designed for commercial use.

The building was constructed between 1970 and 1973 and briefly held the title of Africa's tallest structure. This position changed when the Carlton Centre was completed and surpassed its height.

The building reflects Johannesburg's rise as a financial center and shows through its architecture the economic aspirations of the city during that period. It stands as a visible sign of the banking sector's expansion in the region.

The skyscraper is located in the central business area and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that the building is most active during business hours on weekdays when banking operations are in full swing.

The building changed hands in 2003 and that transaction reflects how property values have shifted in the city over time. This business history is part of the larger changes that have unfolded in the financial district.
