Narrow sites (paricularly those with their frontage on an east or west boundary) tend to position their cores to the back. It has a lot to do with site orientation, and where the primary frontage is. Having said that, a squarer footprint will almost always position a core somewhat centrally, especia...

I would imagine most retail outlets would be a mix of luxury / local retail (a mix of Frewville foodland with Burnside). Keep in mind, this isn't a huge arcade in terms of floor area compared to the markets themselves. It will work well. just another shopping mall then... an opportunity lost to bui...

Very good amount for a mid-week event. 48k to a sporting event that the majority have no interest for or even understand, is a pretty good turn out. If the NRL had the vision to setup a team in Adelaide, and followed through with supporting it financially to ensure it survived long enough to stand ...

This went before the SCAP today. Awaiting minutes to see what the outcome is.

Awesome photos, cheers Ursus! Very minor point but I'm in two minds as to whether the S&McD building should have been painted a slightly different shade to more closely match the rest of the podium facade. Or is it better that it stands out? I can't decide. Is it even painted? Perhaps that's th...

Can anyone who has been past recently confirm whether works are still proceeding?

Nothing happening on site. It's being used as a car park when I last walked past a couple of days ago - around 5 cars parked on the dirt. Real nice!

It would be great to see a supermarket on the ground floor here. Does anyone still have the approved plans for this development? https://www.saplanningcommission.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/484924/2.2.1_Kyren_Group_C-_Brown_Falconer_-_52-56_Franklin_St,_Adelaide_-_Report_And_Attachments.pdf

I had to look up what a Celtis laevigata is. Why is a tree native to North America regulated here where permission is needed to remove it? Because it has a trunk with a circumference greater than 2.0 metres, and is not a species which is exempt from requiring development approval to remove. Yeh I g...

Thanks for the update, Ben - great news.

Lodged with the SCAP?

Yes, this will be a decision by the SCAP.

Application was lodged yesterday. 22-32 MORPHETT ST ADELAIDE SA 5000,88 NORTH TCE ADELAIDE SA 5000 UNDER ASSESSMENT Description Partial demolition of a Local Heritage Place, alterations and additions to a State Heritage Place and Local Heritage Place, removal of a regulated tree (Celtis laevigata) ...

A second tower will not improve the conditions within the plaza. A 3-storey building, as approved, is somewhat more harmonious than a 100 metre tower will be.
Looks like the horse is bolted, especially with Malinauskas' backing.

I find this surprising, considering the current state of the housing market (demand far outstripping supply), and the severe shortage of comparable projects at the ready to build stage. That said, selling out a building with 800+ apartments would be another kettle of fish. To my knowledge it hasn’t...

This is going to SCAP next week, with a recommendation to grant Planning Consent.

Quite inoffensive amongst its surrounds. I feel like if it were another 10 storeys taller it would still blend in rather harmoniously. It will be interesting to see how the rooftop functions - from the look of things the large opening at the top level would provide some pretty decent views and acces...

Will we see renders before the SCAP agenda is published? Whilst I'm excited to see what it looks like, I can perhaps envisage its form.
