Park Lane West is located between the Menlyn Maine Central Square retail centre and other office buildings such as the Spaces Building, GEMS building and Nedbank Menlyn as well as the Trilogy collection residential building. Situated between Atterbury, Garsfontein, January Masilela and Lois Avenue in the east of Pretoria, the precinct has been developed to combine office, residential, retail and entertainment while densifying the previously low-density residential suburb.

Menlyn Maine together with Barrow Construction have realised the completion of the Park Lane West building in line with its original vision with an impressive internal atrium covered by a steel and glass roof. A white cantilever staircase is an attractive feature within the space that connects all floors and hopefully entices users to skip the lift for the stairs. With more buildings in the precinct being completed, this buildings location between commercial office, residential and entertainment as well as health care facilities is beginning to really show the healthy lifestyle benefits of mixed used urban precincts.

The Park Lane West building offices has been designed to be a multi tenanted building with maximum flexibility to enable both large and small tenancies within its space. This 7 storey building fits seamlessly between the other offices without turning its back on any of its neighbours and with its double volume entrance relates perfectly to the retail centre on the west.
