So this one has been submitted to the airport meaning it must breach at least one of the height limits. For this area it must be at least 25 stories I would think.

[Wayno]

Could it be fewer storeys and referred for a temporary crane OLS breach?

[Ben]

Cranes are a separate application to the building so it wouldn't be that

[Dvious]

I wonder if it will be Apartments or an Office building - can't really see the demand for an Office building at the present time of that size.

However, i am glad we are finally having one of these exposed car parks covered up - fingers crossed!

What if it's a car park to cover up a car park?

Being Adelaide, it's not entirely impossible... and not only that, but it may well be a 25+ level car park.

It's pretty noticeable in Adelaide that not only do we have lots of major car parking stations but they are really quite tall compared to many of their surrounding buildings.

Case in point being the Mill Street car park where the ACC approved them adding 2 or 3 levels to what was already an 8 level car park... at around the same time they were denying the proposal to build a 10 or 11 storey office tower almost right next door to it on the grounds it wouldn't fit with the surrounds... the mind boggles...

Any chance they combine this with the neighbour site, which has planing approval for 27 level apartment building ?

[Ben]

Sorry to get everyone excited. Looks like its 14 levels and 65m. Awaiting renders.

Im all for mixed class buildings, more the better I say.

But has the developer realised that "stage one" of this is, located North bound 10m is a rather large, unfortunate eyesore of a multi story car park?

[Waewick]

finally!

great to cover up the carpark.

mind you, not sure about living across from the fire station (I lived near an ambulance office once, very loud)

[Will]

Hopefully they've redesigned this one. The previous design was one of the worst proposals I've ever seen. It looked like a shipping container.

[Blimp]

Trying to get in before the walkers/GPO/323KWS offices perhaps? Will be great too see another carpark covered up!

Location: 102-104 Wakefield Street ADELAIDE SA 5000
Description: Vary previous authorisation demolition of existing buildings and construction of a 10 storey building consisting of a multi level car park, offices and
ground floor retail - VARIATION - increase the height by two additional storeys and reduce depth of the building, amend facade design, relocate
plant level, internal layout modifications and reduce depth of Roper Street canopy.

Seems that this one is being lifted in height again. It must be around 16/17 storeys now (unless i just posted the application from earlier on this year, I'm still getting used to the layout of these council development registers.)

[Ben]

Thats old as you can see the date is February...
