Ponte City is a prominent skyscraper located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Completed in 1975, it stands at 173 meters tall, making it one of the tallest residential buildings in Africa. The structure is known for its cylindrical shape and distinctive glass façade, which reflects the surrounding cityscape. Originally designed as a luxury apartment complex, Ponte City has experienced various phases of decline and revitalization over the years. It features a central core that allows for natural light to illuminate the interior, and its unique design has made it an iconic landmark in the Braamfontein area of Johannesburg.
