The Leonardo is a 42 floor mixed-use property development that, when completed, will be the tallest building in Sandton, exceeding 143 metres (469 ft), which is the height of the current tallest building in Sandton. The building is being built at 75 Maude street, directly next to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in Sandton, South Africa. It has been proposed that the building be 188 metres (617 ft), which will make it the second tallest building in South Africa.
It has been announced that the 2100 square metre, 3 floor penthouse apartment will go on the market for R180 million which, if sold, will make this the most expensive sectional title property ever sold in South Africa. The entire structure will cost R2 billion and consist of 200 apartments and 11 floors of commercial office.
The development will include street level shops as well as an above ground podium, where a swimming pool, restaurant and several other facilities will be located. The tower portion of the development will be built above this 4 level podium.

On 17 November 2015, the Leonardo began construction.
By early September 2016, the 4 floor underground parking structure had reached ground level.
By mid March 2017, the core of the structure was approximately 6 floors above ground.
