Construction commenced in 2007 and the overall building is expected to be concluded by the second quarter of 2010 - just in time for the Soccer World Cup.

Destined to attract business and leisure seekers, Legacy Corner has direct and easy access to the Nelson Mandela Square and is in close proximity to Sandton City, the Michelangelo Towers Mall as well as the Sandton Convention Centre.  The development not only includes an exclusive apartment block, four safe and secure underground parking levels, as well as extensive retail space with an enormous Vodacom Customer Care outlet, but also boasts the luxury Da Vinci Hotel.

The Da Vinci Hotel is Legacy Hotel’s fourth development in the Sandton municipal area.  Not only does this new addition to the Legacy fold expand the company’s unique and superlative hospitality niche, but further consolidates the notion of Legacy being the only hotel group that offers hotels and suites directly on Nelson Mandela Square.

"Parts of the lower level of the Legacy Corner Mall which leads off from Sandton Square, opened on Saturday, September 19 whilst the entire second level will be opened by the end of this week,” says Mike Klostermann of Legacy Development Management.” These two retail levels house upmarket stores that complement the existing retail components in the Square and the Michelangelo Towers Mall as well as the sought after Maximillien Restaurant.  The 17 storey Da Vinci Hotel, as well as the luxury apartments and penthouse suites will be completed by February 2010.”

The six-level Da Vinci Hotel which will be of a contemporary style with a classical accent will boast 166 rooms topped by 50 exclusive one, two and three bedroomed apartments as well as four large penthouses on six  levels. A rooftop leisure terrace reflecting magnificent city views will house a fitness facility including a swimming pool, Legacy Balance health spa and gym as well as an inviting sun deck. The apartment block not only provides its target market with the most exclusive address in Sandton, but also offers urban and suburban professionals a sophisticated lifestyle of privacy, security and exclusivity.

The 50 Da Vinci Apartments are being sold with the appealing investment option of placing them into the lucrative rental pool.  “Buyers deciding on this preference will be able to benefit from having a Stephen Falke design range of interior finishes and furniture,” says Mike Rowley of Legacy.  “All apartments in the hotel rental pool will be able to utilise the Da Vinci Hotel’s service facilities as well as the concierge.”

With the 2010 Soccer World Cop looming, it’s worth remembering that Legacy properties around the country are the official host venues for FIFA delegates and event sponsors.
