If there is one area that really is booming at the moment, it is the Sandton CBD. One would have thought, many years ago, that there was not much room to build anything anymore, but that excludes taking existing buildings, blowing them up and then rebuilding them bigger than before! I see that huge residential blocks are going up, additional office blocks are going up and those who had the foresight to get offices in the Sandton CBD some years ago really must be smiling these days. Almost any decent location is already gone and there does not really seem to be any more space to grow – until the next block is bought out, blown up and rebuilt! Sandton City itself has expanded massively and the only thing that they have not thought of in the area yet is how to get all of the cars out of the Sandton CBD at the same time every night when work is over. Traffic really is chaotic in the Sandton area at peak hours.

Parking and traffic has always been a problem in Sandton. The people who has their offices in Sandton are now paying outrages amounts for rent, dont know if the money is worth the space

Traffic was already a problem when I worked in Sandton some years ago, cannot imagine what it must be like now

Do not go to Sandton much - not my favorite. Both my brothers work there and same as Juliet - get to work at 6 in the morning and leave at who know what time in the evening

I absolutely love Sandton, it reminds me so much of Cape Town with all it's prettiness. Although I would not want to live in Sandton because of all the traffic. These days you can barely find parking even to go to Sandton City mall, it's way too crowded.

I worked in the Sandton CBD for 8 months last year. In order to avoid traffic I arrived at work at 6am and left the office after 6pm. It is crazy. Sandton is also quite a cold place or perhaps it is just that it is more of an international terrain. Most of the restaurants are filled with business men from out of town. It doesn't have a suburb vibe. It is really exciting though to see all the new buildings going up and some of the new ones are so beautiful it makes you proud that at least we have one CBD that is aesthetically pleasing
