Is Feliciano remaining with this development?

As far as I know, it's no. I doubt they would be suitable as a ground floor tenant, but anything is possible (should the developer decide so).

Cheers

That's a shame, it was a good little restaurant.

Just to prove it was not premature:

DA/614/2007/2
27/06/2008
Demolition of existing buildings and construction of a 10 storey building consisting of a multi level car park, offices and ground floor retail - STAGE 2 - STRUCTURAL WORKS

To avoid future confusion, is our definition of U/C when the application to build the structure is submitted with the council; when demolition of the buildings on site begins or when the actual structure begins to be constructed?

I am just asking so I do not cause such a fuss next time.

Description: Fix advertising signage to 4 shipping containers for a period of 24 months.

Saw these containers facing Wakefield Street as I drove past. Just wondering whether they are positioned far enough to the east to allow the office building on the corner of Roper Street to be built soon (rather than in 24 months). Also will the carpark be the first stage?

Went past there yesterday and today as a passenger so had a better look at the site. The containers are in a spot that will preclude construction of the office building, that's if they are there for the whole 24 months. I am assuming the carpark to go up first, is that correct?

As far as I know no tenders have been issued for this dev and does it have an official name or will it be known as 102-120 Wakefield Street?

Cheers

I thought we'd already agreed that commencement is the first erection of permanent frame or first pour of concrete.

It's a carpark.

With Adelaide's development boom we are certainly getting lots of fabulous new gravel carparks! Woohoo!

Can't say I am surprised or even care about this one to be honest.

I am not a fan of large open car parks in the city. However there are at least 5 other approved office buildings I would rather see go ahead before this boring, short glass box proceeds.

This application will come before the ACC DAP at its next meeting. Because the application was designated category 3 non-complying before a decision can be taken as to whether it can be approved or not, the panel must decided first whether to proceed with assessment. In the case of this application the panel is expected to NOT PROCEED with assessment, as open lot carparks are in violation of the development code.

Interesting. What would be a better outcome?

With a car park, the developer gets some revenue is less likely to be forced to sell the land, so the tower may be resurrected in the future. Alternatively, the developer may just whack up a quick and nasty lowrise building to generate some revenue. These structures have a nasty habit of sticking around longer than intended.
Without a car park, the site will probably go to market at a heavily discounted rate. The DA plans may go to market with it. Who knows what may happen!

hello all,

I can't seem to view Norman's photos from July 02 '08. Are the facades of the Roper Street buildings still there?
