Benmore Gardens is a suburb of Johannesburg in the Sandton area. It is located in Region E of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.

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.^[2]
