The article falls short of specifying the building proper is under construction. They would not build this without tenant pre commitment which also has not been announced. I'd take this with a grain of salt. Also mentions building as 23 levels which is of course wrong. In the crane counter thread u...

Dashing Donnie D would turn in his grave if you named an expressway after him. He put the kibosh on the MATS plan remember. No, that was David Tonkin. Dunstan shelved it because at the time it was not wanted, needed, nor affordable. Tonkin killed it and sold off the land. Actually I think this has ...

In view of the SA obsession with football, how about the Power expressway north of the city and the Crows expressway to the south

Or, alternatively, instead of naming it after a person or place or group, how about we just call it the M2? I assume it's going to be the M2 for the entire length in the metro area, just rename the NEXY from M20 to M2. The South Eastern Freeway is the M1.. AFAIK the Northern Expressway is already t...

Weird the crane base went in on 23rd March and here we are 3rd May and still no crane.

Likely they are going to flip the crane from Dwell (assuming its suitable) as its the same developer and the Dwell crane would be due to be coming down any day now surely?

Pretty sure it was mate.. Goodsy was being sarcastic to the comment ghs made.

Yes Ive read the previous (deluded) comment by ghs.

Apologies Goodsy, very droll.

yeah.. Steven Marshall needs to hang his head in shame at this building

What an utterly deluded comment - unless of course its a joke.

Marshall has been Premier for all of 6 weeks - this building was approved prol 2 years ago

Nah, but I agree with you - not car parking. Basement/sub basement for lifts, plant etc, rather than on top of the building.

Spoke to a worker on site yesterday arvo - they are running 6 weeks behind on this one. Basement almost dug but more concrete to go in.

Appears they are running behind on this one. An article from late last year indicated construction of the structure would start in March with the podium (8 levels?) done by June. This would appear extremely unlikely. Based on the minimal below ground work on the Frome St tower, Realm needs to get a ...

What 'character' on the southern side of North Terrace is this 'concerned government architect' referring to? Is it the beige concrete monstrosity that is the David Jones building, or its afterthought add-on Tiffany & Co? The Adelaide Central Plaza, with its six-lane car park entry and poorly t...

I sort of feel like this is a waste of money and time. I use the seafood line everyday and I would hate to have to go back to buses just to improve the car traffic on the roads. With the enirvoment issues we are facing these days, we shouldn’t be spending so much money on making car travel better b...

The front half adjoining O'Connell St has been grassed with roll-out turf. The rear half has been graded, however no grass. Perhaps the council will put metered parking in there to generate some income?

Anyways, whose excited for not one, not two, not three, but four buildings under construction over 100m this year! Kodo, Realm, Adelaidean and now this one!

This time next year, people are really going to start turning their heads to the sky.

Potentially 5 - 269 North Tce
