5800m2 The Standard Bank Chambers Building - Ideal for Government, Law Firm, Finance, and Consultancy

Intimately associated with an institution that financed the industry that shaped the development of South Africa, Standard Bank Chambers is one of Johannesburg's most significant historical buildings. It is located at the heart of the old financial district near other iconic buildings such as Victory House, the Rand Club and the Third Corner House. Its association with a pioneer architectural firm adds to its significance.

This bank building, which was nominated as one of Johannesburg’s top 100 heritage places in 1986 and previously recommended for national monument status, was completed in 1907, two years after the plans for the building were approved. It is one of Johannesburg’s oldest remaining steel-framed buildings and is an excellent example of late Victorian architecture in the City.

Standard Bank Chambers, on the corner of Harrison and Fox Streets in the old financial district of Johannesburg, was for decades the bank’s biggest branch and, for a time, its head office. Designed by Stucke and Bannister and completed in 1907/8, it is one of Johannesburg’s historical and architectural treasures.
