lol, do you know why??

Have no idea but I urge everyone out there in sensational-adelaide land to take a ride in these lifts. Good for a larf.

Each floor is also named after a planet. Like Saturn, Pluto, Earth etc. And when you take the lift it says the planet name!! Really weird.

The Gold Coast has more high-rise buildings than all of Soth Australia put together, so comparing it to Glenelg is very innacurate and sensationalist. We have to keep in mind that Glenelg only has 8-10 buildings which could be called high-rise. The Gold Coast has like 400 or so. What you say here i...

Yeah, who would want a booming tourist economy? What is with the phobia of Queensland? Maybe its the development at any cost ideal of Queensland that we are afraid of. Those people on the beaches of the Gold Coast must be glad that the sun sets on the beach at 2PM! I think that there is smart devel...

I couldn't think of anything better than 50 - 60,000 people spewing out of a stadium on North Tce on a Friday night all looking for something to do. The publicans in the area would be drooling hoping for this to happen. Get rid of AAMI stadium and build something close to the city for all to enjoy. ...

Because of the history of those places But they weren't going to change the actual name of the suburbs only the area where the development is. To attract more investors into the area that are going to pay large sums for the privilege they should change the names of the area that these developments ...

Name: Peter

Suburb: Adelaide

Best thing about Adelaide: Our beautiful parklands. This is all of Adelaide's backyard so lets keep it that way.

The prison bars were added at a later date because of suicides.

Yeah appararently there were land speed records for people to escape from Glenside and jump.

you really wanna know Pistol78 what was inplace before HJ & those carparks. Go to the forum page 'Picture Posts' and the topic 'Adelaide's Greatest Losses' I have heard that the original HJ carpark was designed without the prison bars and actually had vines falling down the outside of the build...

Is this actually going to be a large TV screen or a large fluoro advertisement? I don't think HJ's will be giving up its domination of that area any time soon. Hopefully when the council decides to finish the Pulteney St. upgrade to North Terrace this might clean up this area. It would have to be on...

Westpac has naming rights to the building and are going to occupy some of the floors left vacant by Santos. The rest...

Saw an ad in today's Advertiser Real Estate section for a 5 storey luxury apartment building at 65 South Terrace. Looked pretty nice from the renders in the ad and said for more info go to brockharcourts.com. Apparently the apartments are ranging from $850-2m. I think we will see a lot of low rise q...

Walked passed construction site today and the old Advertiser building is all but gone... down to the ground floor at the moment. Are they going to build CC2 on the existing footing? Being a building of similar size I would say they would.

I read that heading and was expecting 50 storey buildings down there! Ha. Yeah I am baffled as to how this compares with with The GC. There are so many parts of South Australia that are apparently the new Gold Coast - Glenelg, Victor and now Hindmarsh Island. I sometimes get confused which state I l...

CONSTRUCTION work on the $41 million Bakewell underpass will begin on Sunday, October 15, the State Government has announced. Transport Minister Patrick Conlon said the new underpass would provide two lanes of traffic in each direction and a wide shared footpath. Henley Beach Rd – west of the...
