Highpoint Hillbrow, Residential skyscraper in Hillbrow, South Africa.
The Highpoint building rises 105 meters into the Johannesburg skyline, incorporating 25 floors of residential apartments above a shopping center.
Upon its completion in 1972, this steel-constructed tower maintained the status as Africa's tallest residential structure until Ponte City's construction in 1975.
The building represents Johannesburg's urban transformation during the 1970s, incorporating mixed-use spaces with apartments, retail areas, and a cinema.
Located on Kotze Street in Hillbrow district, the building connects residents to central Johannesburg through multiple public transportation options.
The structure employs an all-steel design for both vertical and lateral elements, marking a departure from standard concrete construction methods of its era.
