I didn't see anything really objectionable from the kid and actually don't mind his enthusiasm , but it's you guys' call I guess. AtD's right though, the lack of pissing contests make this site great to visit, although I'd hate to see our presence at SSC diminish too much more, because it's always ...

This development was approved by the ACC in February of this year. It is the third tower of the City Central developemnt, and it will be located on the corner of Franklind and Bentham Street. It will rise to 45.5m and have 12 levels of premium office space. The building will also have a 5 star energ...

Some of you will already know me from Skyscrapercity forums, but for those of you who dont I'm Will.

This forum looks great and I look forward to contributing to it!

Hi Will Welcome to S-A

Thanks!

Rather than building overpasses on the tram line, spend money on the heavy rail lines, eg overpass for the Park Tce crossing in Salisbury. How are they going to do the tram stops along King William Street and North Terrace. Assuming they run them down the centre of the road. Are they going to have ...

I reckon the development looks OK. Because when you think about it, it is a public square so there isn't much space for creativity. The council or state governemnt should also think about replacing the Glenelg jetty. It looks tired, ugly and does not adapt to the new Glenelg. The should build someth...

thank god the bus station is getting an upgrade! its so shitarse and 1960's. could anyone do a rough job of what it will look like from a hills spot (eg: windy hill/point) will be great to see the skyline expanding into other areas. im really suprised theres so many residential developments happeni...

I was having a read of the City Messenger (september 15, 05) and on page 9 there is an add from the council announcing that construction will commence by the end of the year on this development. The first stage will cost $15.3 million and include a new Central Bus Station, a pedestrian link between ...

Pants thanks for keeping people like myself who dont have the opportunity to go into the city regularly up to date with this quality development.

Pants, you are correct, they are different designs. Urban Construct made some amendments to their initial design. These amendments included a slightly different facade, but they also managed to increase the buildings height to 33.15m (almost a high-rise!) The ACC gave the green light to the amendmen...

I also concur with everyone's opinions. The quality of Adelaide's recent developments is really high, and hopefully as taller development adopt the glass look, the skyline will finally not be dominated by brown brutalist structures. Glass structures also make a city's skyline appear more modern; som...

Great photos Chris, thanks for sharing. Great to see that the speed of construction has finally reached a normal rate. This building is listed on Emporis as reaching a height of 45m, however when it is compared to the 38m tall Eastwest apartments, I think that it will be taller. There are still a fe...

Can anyone confirm that the Santos Crane went up yesterday? I went to the city to take some photos, on Sunday 18. The base of the tower crane was up, but the crane had not been erected at the time. I can confirm is that there appears to be some kind of work on the foundations of the building. Howev...

Went down to Glenelg today, and this development is aleady up to the fifth or sixth level. Whilst I'm not sure, it does appear that it will be slightly taller than the neighbouring Pier Hotel. The other exciting news down at Glenelg is that the council appears to support the plans to install a 'Lond...

I was invited onto this site a few weeks ago on SSC but I was a little bit reluctant about joining another forum. However now that I have finally discovered this forum I regret not joining earlier. Whilst SSC is good for giving you an international perspective, the positivity of this site is refresh...
