The council has imposed a height restriction of 40m for that section of the city, therefore you could only make a building 40cm taller than this one. Nevertheless the council could approve something taller, although this would only occur for a proposal that had a high degree of merit on many accoun...

...Simple and elegant. The glass box seems to float over the lower stories... I agree. It looks great. I love all the glass and what looks like polished granite on the podium. One question though, is this building too bulky? Wouldn't two (taller) towers look better, or would they be too prominent i...

Hope this development and the one opposite at 379 King William, spurs property owners and other developers to improve this part of Adelaide. It has true potential.

Australia has lost a true icon. RIP Steve Irwin.

Our sincerest condolences to the family.

...the vibe I got from the market was that they were going more for the gourmet boutique feel. IMO that's the way it should be kept. Rundle Street East is an up-market area. Good for tourism.

Also, doesn't this come under some AAL imposed restriction? I thought the maximum height is 102m or something around that range. I know it's stupid given that it's only a small extension but a rule is a rule. Give or take a metre, I think they should be allowed a maximum height of 106 - 107 metres ...
