They're idiots. The quest to 'modernise' it has turned the Myer Centre facade into generic piece of crap. However, I remain grateful that Rundle Mall as a whole is so much better-looking and lively than it was years ago. Completely disagree. There’s nothing lovely about the current Rundle Mall. The...

16/12/2023 update on progress at private hospital at 203-204 Greenhill Rd Eastwood. work is progressing on ground floor. this building was going to have 3 basement levels of car parking not will now have 3 rear levels of car park similar to cancer council building next door at 201-202 Greenhill Rd....

There’s a lot more under the surface of these announcements. Super Bueno is owed by Penny Hospitality who are doing just fine; they own General Havelock, Paper Tiger (formerly Two Pot Screamer), Joe’s Henley Beach and West Oak; whilst running the bars at Hindley street Music Hall and Lion Arts. I im...

Why the blank wall for the building’s core, surely at this height they could follow suit with what’s done elsewhere and glaze the building all around.

I visited Melbourne last week, the first time since February. Having previously lived there almost a decade ago for five years, I was shocked at how overcrowded, dirty and soulless it has become. Any appeal I once had for living there has certainly gone. Of course, Melbourne has always been a bit gr...

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…

According to Principal’s Project Requirements tower 2 is planned to be a 35-storey building

It better be taller then its stunted growth counterpart next door. Festival tower 1 is a disappointment in height.

I’m so glad that you’re not a town planner…

Calibre opened on Rundle Street today moving from Adelaide Central Plaza. Strange timing coming into Christmas and the massive traffic next door Louis Vuitton is getting. The decision to move back to Rundle Street must be getting questioned you'd think, unless they were kicked out as part of the po...

Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport doesn't yet have a rail connection and it's one of the largest airports in the country... There has been talk of moving the airport up north for years, be that Edinburgh RAAF base or the land parcel in Wingfield above the Port River Expressway, Ultimately Adelaide is...

Wheres the rest of it? :lol: Right? :lol: Imagine that, having had your branding on (formerly) one of Adelaide's tallest buildings for close to 20 years (if not longer) only then to relocate to a new premises and have a tiny logo on a less prominent building that you're sharing the naming rights wi...

Whilst I like it, a project of this scale in Adelaide without government backing will likely flop during the sales/early-construction phase, or succumb to a dumbing down of the project scale and design. This reminds me of the same ambition behind the initial City Central development which still hasn...

Some landscaping had been completed on the railway station side of the building. Not sure if this is completely finished yet

Surely they're taking the piss with this landscaping?

For fucks sake, there’s a 12 storey building next to it. This sort of density is perfect for Glenelg, what on earth is the chief government architect on about. I dare say, this was a case of 'where does the higher density in Glenelg stop'... Build this, and within ten years that entire stretch of b...

Ah yes, those horrible gum tree (the worst variety, I might add) that were only planted in the early-80s despite what some locals tried to appeal masses at the time of that election that they were integral to preserving the history of the Parade. Would be great to see them go, regardless.
