Forget about Echelon. Every red flag in the business. Developer says "look at my track record" - red flag. When you fall for it and actually look at their track record... and find they're making the jump from some townhouses to 2 30+ storey skyscrapers - red flag. Developer says he will &...

Its interesting that the Govt lent the developer $5m on a low interest loan so the project could commence construction [in May]...its a good initiative and could help other developments start if offered to other developers. it was offered as it came through one of the public fund schemes set up by ...

Can't say I've seen a render of the third tower, has anyone seen one?

This may be dead in it's previous iteration, but the showroom is now covered in new signage now. "Sky Adelaide" I believe is the name of the new development. I drove past it yesterday afternoon.
