Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

Anyone know what's going on the with the Telstra Exchnage building on Waymouth Street? Gantries have gone up around the building and half the carpark adjacent to it has been closed off. I asked about a year or more ago, that's how long they've been up for no discernible purpose. No one knew anythin...

[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

Surely the car park could have been either buried or partially buried on its current porposed site or under the hospital itself? An eight storey block takes away from any design merits they are hoping to achieve with the facade of this new hospital… I think I mentioned earlier, but the nRAH contain...

[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

Early works package of $300 Million approved with construction of the massive eight (8!) storey, 1300 space car park and 'energy' building due to start in new year. The structure appears to be sheathed with perforated steel screens in contrast with previous designs showing plantings. But, for laughs...

[PRO] Re: New Police Barracks

The Courts continue to raise the alarm about detoriating facilities, particularly around space and accessibility. The government should be upfront about whether this land is still available for courts expansion and, if so, what they plan to do with the staging post when that time comes. https://inda...

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

I'd argue that the fact they're able to build on essentially gifted land and flood the market with commercial space is a contributing factor for proposals in the CBD not advancing. My problem is not that something is built here (good!) but that it be to best public benefit whether that's usage, desi...

Thanks to Rebekha Sharkie for screwing over a generation of uni students to get a Handorf upgrade that now won't even happen.

Yeah, they've moved it. I definitely saw them install on the southern side. Must've been a bugger up.

I wish it all the best, but note that the tower (hotel) that's expected to be first cab off the rank is the least inspired. Hopefully the ambition for the remaining towers persists.

[PRO] Re: New Police Barracks

I've never understood why it's been fenced off this whole time. Was it contaminated or something? Could've at least been a nice little public garden while waiting for development.

I guess this means they're really not planning on building new court facilities any time soon.

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

This site, or group of sites fronting Currie, Gilbert and Peel Streets has just come on the market. Haven't seen a site this large in the centre of Adelaide since 60 King William Street (the former Southern Cross Arcade) changed hands. https://www.realcommercial.com.au/for-sale/property-20-22-curri...

Re: Thebarton Brewery Site Redevelopment

I appreciate that it demonstrates the importance of revitalising the river, which I believe should be a key outcome for this project. Hopefully it influences Renewal SA when it comes to master planning.
