10 NEWTOWN SILOS REPURPOSED AS THE MILL JUNCTION A major force in food production, Premier Milling enjoyed decades of success before the company was voluntarily liquidated in 1999. Originally owned by Premier Milling, the 10 grain silos fell into disuse before being transformed into student accommodation, topped with 28 shipping containers. A bold conversion completed by Citiq Property Developers in 2014, this innovative design helped preserve and re-imagine a landmark industrial structure.

A culmination of research gathered over many years, the Online Johannesburg Heritage Register is being launched on Nelson Mandela Day 18 July 2025.

Among the many heritage sites featured is Chancellor House, the downtown offices of Mandela and Tambo Attorneys in the 1950s. After having been vacant and shuttered for more than a decade, this iconic building is being revived and brought to life once again as offices for the Community Development Department, which oversees the City’s Arts, Culture & Heritage Services.
