Located at 50 Katherine Street, the 67,000m2 Sasol Place is co-owned by The Sasol Pension Fund and The Elixir Trust.
As Sasol’s strategic real estate advisory and implementation partner, Betapoint deployed a multi-disciplinary team to advise on all aspects of this initiative. Betapoint led the development of the optimisation strategy, managed the transaction and acted as the project manager and Sasol’s tenant representative.
This included providing services from tenant oversight of the architecture, space planning and interior design through to the facilities management service model design and procurement of the service providers. Betapoint recently commenced the relocation of 2,500 employees from 11 commercial properties spread across Johannesburg, into Sasol Place.
Sasol Place comprises seven parking levels, a ground floor and 10 office floors, and its features include a restaurant, a coffee shop, a wellness centre, a convenience store, a fitness centre and a dedicated gallery and sculpture garden.
The building design encourages water recycling and energy efficiency by means of using the latest technologies like intelligent building management systems that automatically regulate the use of LED lighting, air conditioning, automated blinds, water usage, escalators and elevators.
A range of natural habitats has been created, with individual indigenous biomes attracting small wildlife, insects and birds, on the external decks, within the grounds, as well as on the rooftop of the building.
