Benmore Gardens is a suburb of Johannesburg in the Sandton area.

[citation needed] In 1964, architect Harold Le Roith purchased one hundred acres in what became Benmore Gardens.

He was to work with the architect Richard Neutra on realising a project to build a self-contained village centre with apartments, shops and offices.

The project was inspired by Le Roith's visit to Tapiola, a newly constructed town in Finland.

Le Roith pulled out of the project after the completion of two apartment blocks.
