High above the vibrant streets of Hillbrow, a concrete giant reaches for the sky. This is Highpoint Hillbrow. It has stood tall since 1972. Highpoint Hillbrow isn’t just a building. It’s a landmark, a symbol of a bygone era of Hillbrow’s glamorous past. Highpoint Hillbrow was once the epitome of urban chic. It offered a complete lifestyle experience within its towering structure. The architects, Monty Sack and Anthony Dominique Nassau Mallows, envisioned a 33-story marvel that combined residential apartments with a bustling commercial center. Highpoint Hillbrow was home to the largest single-roofed area of shops and cinemas at the time of its construction. Imagine strolling through its stylish boutiques, catching the latest film, and then ascending to your modern apartment, all within the same complex. Today, Highpoint Hillbrow still pulses with life, albeit a different kind. The glamour may have faded, but the building’s imposing presence and historical significance remain. The shops and cinema are gone, replaced by a 24-hour Fontana/Spar/Checkers supermarket, catering to the needs of the current residents. Highpoint Hillbrow reflects the changing face of Hillbrow itself, from a trendy hub for the young and affluent to a more diverse and vibrant community. Highpoint Hillbrow remains a steadfast sentinel. It watches over the ever-evolving neighborhood. It whispers tales of a glamorous past.
