Trust Bank Building

Trust Bank Building, Bank skyscraper in Central Business District, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Trust Bank Building is a 140-metre skyscraper in Johannesburg's central business district, built in 1970 as the head office of the Trust Bank of South Africa. It shares its 140-metre height with the KwaDukuza eGoli Hotel, Michelangelo Towers, the ABSA Tower and the Standard Bank Centre. Its banking past left it with one of the largest bank vaults in South Africa.

The Trust Bank Building was completed in 1970 as the head office of the Trust Bank of South Africa, standing 140 metres (460 ft) tall in Johannesburg's central business district. It shares that height with the KwaDukuza eGoli Hotel, Michelangelo Towers, the ABSA Tower and the Standard Bank Centre. In February 2003 it was sold for 6.4 million rand (about US$640,000).

The building's name comes from the Trust Bank of South Africa, whose head office it was; the Afrikaans form is Trust Bank Gebou. It holds one of the largest bank vaults in South Africa, a remnant of that banking role. After the February 2003 sale for Rand 6.4 million, the new owners reportedly considered renaming it.

The tower stands in Johannesburg's central business district at the corner of what the sources give as -26.20611, 28.04472. It is a former bank head office with no public access or guided tours inside, so the 140-metre exterior is seen from the surrounding streets. Neighbouring towers of the same 140-metre height, such as the Carlton Centre and Standard Bank Centre, offer higher vantage points.

The building holds one of South Africa's largest bank vaults, a legacy of its role as the former head office of the Trust Bank of South Africa. In February 2003 it was sold for Rand 6.4 million (about US$640,000), and the new tenants may rename it.
