building
The Windhoek city administration includes the main building as well as numerous adjacent buildings. In addition, some administrative units are located in other parts of Windhoek. The then five-story main building was designed by Cosmos Stratakis in 1960 and inaugurated in November 1964 by Jack Louis Levinson , the city's mayor at the time. In 1990 the building was increased by three floors and in 2016 a five-story annex was added to the east.
The building is adorned with an oversized, modified Aloe littoralis , Windhoek's heraldic plant.
