The Waterfall City developers are happy to have such regarded companies making the location their operational base within the Gauteng area. Developments such as Waterfall City are closing the gap within the Woodmead expanse turning the suburb into a highly developed and commercially driven node for any size commercial operation not just fortune 500 enterprises such as Accenture.

According to the official website for the Waterfall development, they are building on Johannesburg's reputation as being one of the world's most extensive man-made forests. "Building on Johannesburg's positioning as one of the largest man-made urban forests in the world and inspired by New York's Bryant Park, Waterfall Park has three amphitheatres, a staging area, exhibition, market space and recreational spaces". -http://waterfallcity.co.za

Waterfall City was built opposite one of Africa's largest shopping facilities The Mall of Africa and is in close proximity to various prominent roadways and transport infrastructure such as the Gautrain. The idea is that people can "live, work and play" in one central location. "It embraces integrated, new urban living with retail, offices, homes, hotels, a hospital, parks, dining, entertainment and more. Waterfall City is more than a city, it's a truly connected hub, fully-integrated lifestyle and offers a complete work-life package". -http://waterfallcity.co.za

However Waterfall City isn't the only development near or in Woodmead and various property developers and brokers are seeing great value in basing their operations out of this node.
