The Leonardo

The Leonardo, South Africa’s tallest building, stands in the heart of Africa’s richest square mile, Sandton, Johannesburg. Rising 234 meters from the street below, this iconic 55-story mixed-use development serves as a beacon of hope for both the city and the country. Constructed during one of the toughest economic climates, it provided countless jobs amidst high unemployment. With art taking the lead, The Leonardo supports and showcases original works of art created by some of South Africa’s established and upcoming artists. The design of The Leonardo was driven by principles of sustainable development, redefining not only the city’s skyline but also the concept of urbanism with options to work, live, and play in one place – a lifestyle all in one.
