Grand Central Water Tower Midrand, Water tower in Midrand, South Africa
The Grand Central Water Tower reaches a height of 40 meters and features an inverted cone design with a water capacity of 6500 cubic meters.
Built in 1997, this infrastructure project emerged during a period of substantial development in the Midrand region following South Africa's political transformation.
The tower, designed by GAPP Architects & Urban Designers, represents the evolution of industrial architecture in post-apartheid South Africa through its concrete form.
Located at New Road in Midridge Park, the tower functions as both a water distribution facility and an orientation point for residents and visitors.
The structure incorporates a split design where only the upper section contains water, while the lower portion was initially intended for commercial purposes.
