[COM] Re: 20 Toms Court | 49m | 14 Levels | Hotel

If you want to triangulate you have
- Bohem behind Credit Union
- Central City behind 262 South Terrace
- West Franklin North behind Penny Place

Put those lines on a map and they intersect right around where the picture is supposed to be taken....

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

Apparently Singapore is flying an A380 once per week "A Singapore Airlines Airbus A380-900 aircraft will provide a once-weekly service to Adelaide." Except that Singapore Airlines doesn't list an A380-900 in its fleet, only an A380-800 and an A350-900..... https://www.singaporeair.com/en_...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

Just for ref, here's the existing trail: map-parklands-trail.jpg Turns out the ochre colour is not applied to its full length, but it does traverse the northern parklands. The proposed new one appears to be different through the Botanic Garden, south parklands, West Terrace Cemetery and near Adelai...

I am not sure about the colour of the car park walls. They're a bit .......... er brown? Please click on picture for bigger. Well, it seems to have a reddish tint (at least that's what my screen seems to produce), so it's kind of complementary to the Court building green... Sent from my LG-H870DS u...

I make it 16 stories if you allow 2 stories behind street level scaffolding. note this picture is from 3 weeks ago.
I guess they could have a 'mezzanine' floor, are those counted as a separate level?

what height would the core be sitting at right now? I'm thinking around 50? in meters? It should be about floor 28/29, so that means it's closer to about a 100m ok, I based my figure on the bus being around 2.5m. to be 100m would require around 40 buses stacked on top of each other. I have no idea ...

If you feel that why, why are you on this forum? I'm here because I live in Adelaide, am interested in city development, construction and architecture, and I'm in this particular thread because I have a vested interest in the building.... to bring the discussion back to a little bit more relevance,...

We haven't been told otherwise. I believe the signage removal from the Corebox happened because the size of the box changed when they reached the apartment floors and they probably decided that it's not worth the cost to put up new signage up for the remainder of the time.

It's why I can't understand why we keep getting proposals for cheap student apartments instead of higher-end apartments along North Terrace. It's literally the best orientation in the city and can't be built out -- you could charge a premium for the view! you might be suprised by the prices these s...
