Standing 607 feet tall, the fifty-four-story Ponte City Apartments were constructed. The building’s open centre allowed light to stream into the flats, giving it a cylindrical shape. Despite its decline, Ponte City is now referred to as Johannesburg’s “tallest, grandest urban slum” by The Guardian.
