An excellent read. Thanks Vee.

Spoke with a worker this morning. Apparently no permanent crane will be used. He's unsure of the crane type to be used, but he said they are mobile and will recurringly arrive onsite when required.

Heritage or not those sorts of small dwellings don't belong in or around a CBD. They are limited to what can be done with them. It's not like you can incorporate the 'facades' into another building, it would look utterly ridiculous. There's always talk of street level interaction and activation. Ho...

I think we just have a situation where the city population is slowly growing. When certain areas without a corner shop hit critical mass then more convenient store/IGAs will appear.

Supply and demand.

I'm pro-development, and want more people living in the city, but feel unsure about using this site for residential. A hotel maybe, but not residents...

Tower looks ok. Podium is meh. The degree of street level activation will make or break it. Hope the DAC truly appreciates that aspect...

Successful bidder announcement later this month. Shhh, it's a secret.

Dang and gosh, and other 4 letter words?

An isolated occurrence? Or start of a trend? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-14/babcock-moves-headquarters-to-adelaide/7628120 Babcock to move Australian headquarters to Adelaide, lured by defence growth and SA grant Engineering support services company Babcock International Group will move its A...

And there should be reserved water-front land, closer to the Port Adelaide town centre, for a hi-rise hotel/resort. I realise it won't happen short-term, but plan for it, and start lobbying the big chains, now. You might get surprised. No risk of downside...

4 apartments per level? I looked back through the thread. Didn't see that detail.
