Law firm Webber Wentzel has almost completed its relocation to its new rental premises at 90 Rivonia Road, Sandton. It will now house the entire Webber Wentzel Johannesburg staff complement of over 650 people in one collaborative space.
The 25,000-m2 development occupies an island site with seven floors and a 2000-car park basement opposite Sandton City as well as an annex of 10,000 m2 for future expansion. It is within easy reach of clients and central transport hubs including OR Tambo Airport via the Gautrain.
Managing the rising rental costs of property in the heart of Sandton’s business district was also an important consideration when Webber Wentzel negotiated the deal with
Redefine Properties. The firm has increased its space by 30% for the same cost as its previous rental with 10,000 m2 retained for future growth.
