Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, is Africa’s tallest building. The 50-floor, 223 metres-tall building was completed in 1973 and no building has surpassed it since.
But, not for much longer. In three years’ time, the tallest building on the continent will be The Pinnacle, currently under construction by Hass Petroleum at the junction of Upper Hill Road and Haile Selassie Avenue.
