New Johannesburg Deeds Office Reaches 78% Completion in CBD Renewal Push

The R769 million build is the first new CBD high-rise in more than 20 years.

Overview

  • Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson conducted an oversight visit to the 85 Anderson Street site in Marshalltown on Tuesday.
  • The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure says construction stands at 78% with the main tower advanced and façade work underway.
  • The project is positioned to modernize property registration services and support investment in Johannesburg’s inner city.
  • The department has not provided a new occupation date after a previously touted September 2025 target, with about 22% of work remaining.
  • Industry reports highlight ongoing backlogs at the outgoing 101 Rissik Street office, including roughly 5,000 delayed files in 2025 that slowed transfers.
