ABSA Tower, Modern skyscraper in Central Business District, South Africa
The ABSA Tower reaches a height of 140 meters with 32 floors, featuring a steel structural system and glass facade in downtown Johannesburg.
The tower, completed in 1970, represents a period of rapid urban development in Johannesburg when the city expanded its financial infrastructure significantly.
The building functions as headquarters for ABSA Group Limited, one of South Africa's primary financial institutions, marking the city's economic influence.
Located at 160 Main Street between two major traffic corridors, the tower includes retail spaces, a coffee bistro, business lounges, and contemporary office areas.
The structure underwent transformation through Project Gloria, adding premium apartments and a sky garden that created new social spaces within the building.
