Braamfontein Management District

Welcome to the Braamfontein Management District, your one-stop information spot for news, community updates and events in this business district, education centre, and entertainment and arts hub based on one of the main arteries leading into the heart of the city centre. Situated north of the city centre, Braamfontein is the fourth-largest node supplying office space in the city of Johannesburg. Strategically linking Newtown and Braamfontein to form the 'Cultural Arc', is the majestic Nelson Mandela Bridge, a gateway into Joburg's city centre.

Braamfontein is South Africa's foremost receiving house of live entertainment, home to four South African-based multinationals, the City Council and South Africa's premier educational institution, the University of the Witwatersrand. The area has been given a new lease on life with the district's regeneration initiative headed by the Johannesburg Development Agency and property owners. Through the establishment of the Braamfontein Management District and the launch of the Braamfontein brand, this precinct has been transformed into an appealing and safe corporate district, educational centre, and entertainment and arts hub.
