Atterbury House (formerly known as Shell House) is a 4170NaN0 office skyscraper in Cape Town, South Africa. The 29 story building was completed in 1976. At the time it was completed, it became the 2nd tallest building in Cape Town, shorter than the 4230NaN0 1 Thibault Square.[4]

The building has been used as home to several major organizations and companies, including The Metropolitan Health Group, Department of Public Works, and Planet Fitness.
