If Riverlea was a TOD, the government wouldn't need to sprawl out to Two Wells :roll:

[PRO] Re: 188 Grenfell Street | 14lvls | 46m | Mixed Use

I’d be surprised if this gets up. I reckon the cranker is one of the only buildings/institutions in Adelaide that would result in genuine unrest if it was about to be bulldozed. Agree wholeheartedly. I think most people would be happy if they incorporated the building into their design or if the de...

Just to help dispel abc's clueless assertions that young people aren't into live music at the cranker, here's an article from the shatvertsier with the exact opposite. The cranker is far from the typical dreary and depressing pub that abc might be into. Maybe abc should head into the city to see wha...

The Adelaide Unibar is probably the worst example you could've given to suggest live music venues in the CBD are more profitable than ever. Its part of a university FFS which has multiple funding sources. UniBar is a great proof that young people are into live music though... It also functions prof...

They are in a minority for their generation. Its no accident live venues are going the way of the dodo. What a cooked comment, if you actually look at the numbers, live music venues are generally more profitable than ever in Adelaide's CBD, (for example, unibar's capacity needed to be expanded beyo...

So uneccessary to be demolishing the Cranker. It's a cultural institution and one of Adelaide's oldest buildings. I will definitely sign a petition if there is one. Honestly, this should be blocked on the principal that it’s a culturally significant area. Whatever one’s interpretation of ‘culture’ i...

Re: 3D Billboards

I've been living in Jakarta, back and forth to Adelaide, the past year and 3d billboards are literally everywhere there. Theyre not a huge project but I guess in the Australian context, they're a big deal.
The lantern was always a half baked idea and cheaply made.

I agree. Whoever was involved in the planning and management of such a beautiful building should receive an award. Groundbreaking progress for sustainable livelihoods. :applause:

I don't know the exact story about why this didnt occur but it would have been nice if either Libs or Labor followed in on their plan for trams down Grote St instead of the drama about a right hand turn on KW and North Terrace, might have helped office demand in this space but oh well.

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million

I did a 20km run yesterday running from Lochiel Park near Paradise to the City and back. Linear park is relatively cool so it was nice on a 23 degree day. However, I went up some stairs and through Festival Plaza and the heat amplified majorly. It felt like it was 15 degrees warmer then by the Torre...
