Sanlam Centre tops Africa as Cape Town Foreshore rises
A 22 storey Sanlam Centre in Cape Town is highlighted in an aerial view of the Foreshore development. The land reclamation extends the city centre with Duncan Dock added to the harbour and a network of roads already laid out. Work began in 1957 on 35 foundation pillars reaching 75 feet to bedrock as the 297 foot building, with a $5.6 million investment, stands as Africa’s tallest. The full Foreshore project will take about 15 years to complete.
