Any word on who has the naming rights for this building? The brackets are there but nothing has gone up yet.

Yeah Nah this isn’t it. Never have we ever had two serious propisals of this nature before. Despite being a global recession and coming out of a pandemic, we still have two 120+m developments and the FM. Adelaide was never going to be resistant to a global recession. Yes it was. We were told throug...

Progress on the former Internode building.

The new glazing on the eastern side of the building looks promising!

Quite a few changes to Rundle Mall/Street of late... As mentioned above, Charlesworth have rather quietly closed their store at No. 1 Rundle Mall, which seems strange when you consider the public outcry when Darrell Lee upped and left and the relief of Charlesworth moved in. Priceline have moved fro...

All ANZ signage has been removed from the facade.

Another bank downsizing its SA operations?

And yet, the user account that had been feeding this thread with inside information was defensive at anyone questioning the legitimacy of this proposal and whether it could or would be going ahead.

Had a thought whist at my boy's swimming lessons today — what if they kept the roof? The current aquatic centre is unique in that because of the way it was built, the roof is actually completely seperate from the rest of the facility. They could remove all the pools, the ancillary buildings, stands...

JB HiFi has moved to the old Best & Less location. Their old store has been gutted and is being expanded into the carpark. A major international brand will be opening in the space in early-mid 2024. It'll be their second Adelaide store. Could be Zara? I'd say it's Uniqlo... Considering how long...

Both major parties have committed to building a Prospect High School to cater for the on-going demand that's putting pressure on the Adelaide Botanic HS and Adelaide High School, this is the ideal location for it, both in size, road and public transport access. It seems strange that both parties hav...

Bit of a crazy thought, but what if the site set aside for the innovation centre were to become a Contemporary Art Gallery instead, therefore satisfying all parties involved re: Tarrkarri moving ahead. At this stage, the surrounding area is not benefitting from the severe lack of activity and the i...

And this is what irritates me. In 2023, good public transport policy and infrastructure should be above politics, and not left to the mercy of elections. Will incessant urban sprawl become an electoral issue? This. As far as I'm aware, in no other state do either party come to the election table wi...

Nice shot. Imagine that view if the dome had been finished atop Parliament House! I’d love to see the dome addition still, something to be considered if and when Parliament House eventually undergoes any sort of exterior restoration works. We’ve seen upgrades to ARS as part of a history preservatio...

I was digging through my photos, and this was taken on March 4, 2023 from the Stamford Hotel on North Terrace, showing the RAA building in its relatively brief time without signage. I was struck by the fact that this is one of the only angles from which you can see almost the whole height of the bu...

The hotel is going to be a ‘Treehouse’: https://indaily.com.au/news/2023/08/28/treehouse-hotel-to-put-down-roots-at-central-market/ Underwhelming brand for what should be a landmark location. Why they would go with a "chain" that only has 2 other hotels (in the UK) is really strange. http...
