Olympus Sandton: A landmark rises over Johannesburg’s Golden Ridge
Tricolt Group, in partnership with Growthpoint Properties, has officially broken ground on Olympus Sandton, a flagship R1.2 billion luxury residential development that is redefining mixed-use living in South Africa’s most prestigious commercial capital.
With 420 of the 529 units already sold and R1.2 billion in sales secured within eight months, Olympus Sandton stands among the fastest-selling luxury residential developments in Gauteng’s recent history.
Perfectly positioned in the emerging Sandton Summit Precinct, the development commands the precinct’s highest elevation, delivering uninterrupted 360° skyline views and forming a bold architectural gateway into Sandton Central.
A vision for elevated Urban Living
Designed by ClarkeHopkinsClarke (Australia) in partnership with DHK Architects (South Africa), the twin towers feature an alternating twist geometry that optimises views and creates an iconic sculptural presence on the Sandton ridge.
“The site’s ridge position places Olympus at the literal and figurative pinnacle of Sandton,” says Aram Lello, Head of Design at Tricolt. “As you crest the rise into the city, the towers appear dynamic and sculptural, an iconic entry point into Johannesburg’s financial capital.”
For Growthpoint, Olympus is a strategic catalyst within the broader Sandton Summit vision, a decade-long blueprint to build South Africa’s premier walkable, mixed-use precinct, anchored by Discovery’s landmark headquarters.
“Sandton is undergoing a revival, and Olympus Sandton is rising with it,” says Neil Schloss, Head of Asset Management SA at Growthpoint. “This development aligns perfectly with our strategy to unlock prime value through market-aligned mixed-use spaces.”
The project has already set a luxury benchmark with the Tower 1 penthouse selling for R40 million (with projected final value of R44.45 million with upgrades).
