Tallest Buildings Under Construction in Africa - The Race for Africa's Tallest Skyscraper
Channel: TR MEDIA
Date: 2021-10-27

Africa has erected some of the world's most impressive structures over time, including some of the world's highest towers. Beginning with only a few major cities in Africa that had skyscrapers, new developments have resulted in more cities with superstructures.  Since the late 1960s and early 70's when Anglo American Properties built the Carlton Centre in central Johannesburg for about R88million which is roughly $6 billion, it had held the title of Africa's tallest skyscraper. The Carlton Centre in Johannesburg began the history of skyscrapers in Africa in 1973. The Carlton Centre is a 223-meter-tall Building with 50 habitable floors in Johannesburg. It also provides various shopping centers and eateries. Carlton Centre resembles the famous One Seneca Tower in Buffalo, New York, which was completed in the same year. Carlton Centre was once the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere but the Leonardo has dethroned that feature of the city skyline, as made official by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.  The Leonardo, in Johannesburg's affluent Sandton suburb, now holds the title of Africa's highest building. It is obvious that South Africa has worked its way up to command the lion's share of Africa's tallest structures, having experienced the grandeur that comes with hosting the continent's tallest towers.
