Re: #U/C: | Bay Junction | $60m | 3lvls | Retail | Glenelg

I work in here, and I have to say honestly. It's not the best thing since sliced bread. Another copy-pasta of shopping centre clones elsewhere. Perhaps so, but the last one really, really, really needed to be replaced... it was falling apart. I'm gonna put this in the 'pass - but missed opportunity...

Re: Architecture in Australia: Food for Thought

He argues there is a more edgy scene in Melbourne than the other capitals: the city “feeds on itself and keeps challenging the rest of Australia”. Sydney seems still in the thrall of the fast-built buck and, like Brisbane, is hamstrung by conflict between city and state. Adelaide is dozing. I l...

[COM] Re: #Proposal: 97m Victoria Square Tower

my reasoning behind selling off a portion of the square is because of two reasons. one, the idea of having a lookout tower in the middle is a good one, knowing what Q1 has done for the Gold Coast, and my fear is that if one were put right in the middle of the square itself it would look out of place...

[COM] Re: #Proposal: 97m Victoria Square Tower

i agree that a third of the square should be sold off and made into apartments, and a tower similar in vein to Q1 should be build inbetween these (marked on my below mock-up in paint by 'Centrepoint'), with the east-west underpass dug out and the rest of the square to be Fed Square-esque. i don't kn...

Re: Proposed - Bay Junction re-development - Glenelg -$60million

there is a redevelopment clause, and we are under contract to come back once completed... but it's an extremely long story that i don't know all the details about, but let's just say he is very ruthless, and isn't helping us. at all. i think we're getting out of there ASAP.

my parents own Great Temptations Caffe, and Andrew Taplin is making our life a living hell... this thing won't happen for a while yet.
