Hill on Empire is situated in the central area of the Parktown office node, which serves as the headquarters for numerous national corporations.   The precinct is located on Empire Road, a prominent thoroughfare for public transportation. The development is conveniently positioned about 50 meters away from the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station and 100 meters away from the Gautrain Bus station.   Empire Road serves as the primary thoroughfare for all significant public transportation, connecting the central business district with the northern, southern, eastern, and western suburbs.   The complex consists of four office buildings, each offering top grade spaces for lease.  

Sustainable construction efforts:  

  The AC system is engineered to minimize electrical consumption and emissions of refrigerant gas.  

The office area has been optimized to utilize natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours.  

The structure is designated as a non-smoking facility.  

Energy consumption has been reduced by implementing energy-efficient fixtures.   The utilization of low energy water heating has also been implemented.
