Constitution Hill is the multi-million-rand urban regeneration development project, funded by Blue IQ, the Gauteng Provincial Government, the City of Johannesburg, the Department of Justice and philanthropic organisations, and delivered by the Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA).

Constitution Hill is the home of the Constitutional Court, the protector of our basic rights and freedoms. Constitution Hill is also the site of Johannesburg’s notorious Old Fort Prison Complex, commonly known as Number Four, where thousands of ordinary people were brutally punished before the dawn of democracy in 1994. Many of South Africa’s leading political activists, including Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, were detained here.

ConHill was established as a multipurpose site, which in addition to housing the Constitutional Court, plays an educational role in constitutionalism, human rights and democracy. It incorporates office space for a number of strategically selected tenants such as NGOs, Chapter Nine Organisations and organisations that are active in the human rights space.
