Whilst I like it, a project of this scale in Adelaide without government backing will likely flop during the sales/early-construction phase, or succumb to a dumbing down of the project scale and design. This reminds me of the same ambition behind the initial City Central development which still hasn...

Some landscaping had been completed on the railway station side of the building. Not sure if this is completely finished yet

Surely they're taking the piss with this landscaping?

For fucks sake, there’s a 12 storey building next to it. This sort of density is perfect for Glenelg, what on earth is the chief government architect on about. I dare say, this was a case of 'where does the higher density in Glenelg stop'... Build this, and within ten years that entire stretch of b...

Ah yes, those horrible gum tree (the worst variety, I might add) that were only planted in the early-80s despite what some locals tried to appeal masses at the time of that election that they were integral to preserving the history of the Parade. Would be great to see them go, regardless.

The old station road (now laneway) that runs between this building at the ARS needs more activation considering the ARS/SkyCity frontage is basically boarded up with an awning. Alfresco dining with restaurant pods (think the old WH Smith Newsagent in the plaza at Adelaide Airport) would help bring t...

Quite liked it until I realised it was a Samaras development. Will likely be dumbed down a handful of times before and during construction.

I agree with everything said regarding the character these buildings bring to the surrounding laneways, without heritage listing or council/government intervention they will inevitably go with whatever is developed on this site. Developers rarely see it worth retaining heritage in Adelaide because t...

What I want to know is why Mali and his government are handing more $$ to AFC, how the hell is this a 'community' investment? Improvements to Thebarton Oval and Kings Reserve that ultimately benefit the AFC. IF this were an Arts organisation/institution asking for a little financial kicker to get a ...

Piling here will be starting soon-ish. Not sure on exact timelines but expect this to ramp up in the near future. By “soon-ish” I assume you mean January? Would probably be mid January as there's probably going to be a obligatory Christmas & New Years shut down. It's funny the thinking behind t...

Any reason why?

Probably Samaras waking up to the reality that there isn’t the demand for the office space he’s rolling out. His Wakefield Street building still only have two floors occupied (Comm Bank).

They need to consider the link between this site and the Torrens, as it is, the Christmas Lights display could easily be relocated to a section of the Torrens within the Bonython Park precinct, this might actually make the display more family friendly.

Any word on who has the naming rights for this building? The brackets are there but nothing has gone up yet.

Yeah Nah this isn’t it. Never have we ever had two serious propisals of this nature before. Despite being a global recession and coming out of a pandemic, we still have two 120+m developments and the FM. Adelaide was never going to be resistant to a global recession. Yes it was. We were told throug...

Progress on the former Internode building.

The new glazing on the eastern side of the building looks promising!

Quite a few changes to Rundle Mall/Street of late... As mentioned above, Charlesworth have rather quietly closed their store at No. 1 Rundle Mall, which seems strange when you consider the public outcry when Darrell Lee upped and left and the relief of Charlesworth moved in. Priceline have moved fro...
