Foreshore Place

Foreshore Place (formerly ABSA Centre) is a mixed-use skyscraper in Cape Town, South Africa.

History
The tower was completed in 1970 as the Heerengracht Hotel. It was later purchased by the predecessor to the ABSA banking group and converted to offices, known as ABSA Centre. In 2019, the building was redeveloped as premium mixed-use residential and office space and renamed Foreshore Place.

Description
The building is 117 m tall. It consists of a four-storey podium and a 29-storey tower block characterised by a concrete central core. Its continuous glass curtain wall façades were the first of their kind in Cape Town.
