While we continue to expand across the globe, Standard Bank Group’s (SBG) head office in Johannesburg, South Africa, has also experienced a growth spurt. This has got our property team working on a plan for the future.
Construction of a new facility in Rosebank, Johannesburg, has just got underway. The new office complex will house corporate offices, meeting rooms and a small retail space.
No final decision has been made as to which of our people will be relocated to Rosebank once the complex is complete in 2013. However, initial thinking is that the buildings will accommodate mainly customer-facing staff and will relieve a lot of the pressure that is currently being placed on the infrastructure at our head office complex.
We remain committed to the Johannesburg Central Business District and are proud to be associated with this historic part of town. Our investment in Rosebank complements other initiatives that we have adopted to ease the burden on our head office infrastructure.
Standard Bank’s Constantia Valley complex, just west of Johannesburg, houses some of SBG’s call centre and insurance divisions. This has not only eased our space constraints, but allows us access to a prominent branding opportunity at an impressive complex.
