In order to create a feasible proposition for Salvokop, the primary objective is to create efficient, and meaningful, connections with surrounding areas and link Salvokop back with the city centre. The primary link between the site and the city is the prolongation of Paul Kruger Street into the site. This is achieved through a radical proposition which transforms the Pretoria Station building into the ‘front door’ to Salvokop, and potentially to the relocation of the National Parliament.

The project is ongoing and forms an important development opportunity and catalyst towards the regeneration of the Inner City of the Inner City of Tshwane.
