Olympus Sandton
Johannesburg, South Africa

Olympus Sandton stands proud on the corner of Empire Place and Rivonia Road in Johannesburg.
The design was developed from an initial concept created by ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects for co-developers Tricolt and Growthpoint Properties. The clients sought to create a development that emphasises high comfort standards, expressing the pinnacle of luxury living while contributing to Sandton’s urban landscape.

The scheme was conceived as an elevated experience. The development features alternating curved geometric floorplates, resulting in a visually dynamic silhouette on the city’s skyline. It is a true gateway development, with its unique sculptural form and striking staggered wraparound façade. The mix of executive suites, in one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment configurations, along with penthouses and duplex apartments on upper levels, enable smaller lock-up-and-go living, or full-time immersion in an executive environment to suit individual needs. Apartment layouts can be adapted to the diverse needs of buyers, and the location offers easy access to public transport and a vibrant neighbourhood.

Beyond introducing a distinctive lifestyle, Olympus promotes the growth of mixed-use development in Africa's most affluent square mile. A grand sculptural staircase connects the building with high-end retail amenities at the street-level entrance. The lush green podium, with leisure facilities and high-end signature restaurant is the jewel in the Olympus crown. A luxurious sky bar presents panoramic views of the city’s expansive green canopy below.

The design features two striking towers named Athena and Apollo, inspired by the giants of ancient Greek mythology. Its architectural language represents contemporary sophistication, designed to resonate with the aspirations of an exceptionally discerning clientele.
