The new building at 115 West Street, Sandton, Johannesburg was officially opened to staff at Alexander Forbes during November 2012. It occupies a prime position opposite the high speed Gautrain Sandton station. It is the first view that foreign visitors will get on arriving in Johannesburg City.

Designed to accommodate 2,500 people, there are currently about 2,200 housed in the building. Almost the entire staff turned out in the atria and auditoria to be welcomed by their Chief Executive Officer. Also on stage at the opening was Stuart Gibbs from Zenprop, the contractors; and Brian Wilkinson CEO of the Green Building Council of South Africa. Brian was there to confirm the accreditation of a 4 star Green Star Design V1 rating for the building.
