Looked like they had just finished retiling the place when I went past yesterday, wasn't there a council development submission a couple of years back to halve the size of Nova Shoes and build a cafe in back half that faced out onto Twin Street?
You do realise that there are more works to come? There is the whole upgrade of the arcade's facade to take place yet... Not sure what the timing for this is, but I know that Foodland wouldn't have signed up to tenant the place had there not been plans to upgrade the exterior of the building as well...pushbutton wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 12:45 pmJust got my first look at the new Foodland.
Not impressed at all that the building still has signs from the early 90s saying "Citi Centre Arcade", and on the entrance doors the signs are new and read "Rundle Square". It's just lazy.
As for actual supermarket, not too bad and will serve a valuable role for city centre office workers and apartment dwellers, but I don't like the "in via the mall and out via Pulteney Street" bit. Not sure if there was any alterations but I still don't like it!
Overall it's definitely a better use of the space than that very poor excuse for a food court, and lame little arcade. Just wish they'd put more effort into the redevelopment.

You do realise that my point was the facade upgrade should have been programmed to coincide with Foodland opening?Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:43 pmYou do realise that there are more works to come?

You didn't actually specify that at all... Your first comment suggests that they're done with it all, especially with the closing remark: "Just wish they've put more effort into the redevelopment." So thanks for clarifying that you're on the same page, because I agree with you.pushbutton wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 3:32 pmYou do realise that my point was the facade upgrade should have been programmed to coincide with Foodland opening?Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:43 pmYou do realise that there are more works to come?

Let me know if you need me to break it down even further, and explain it even more so that you can see what I mean.
Only that Renewal SA has been seeking expressions of interest for retail operators to overhaul the Railway Station's commercial offering. They're open to short-term and pop-up leases, so I'm imagining it'll be similar to what council (and Renew Adelaide) were doing in Topham Mall.
Back then, it was Cash Converters according to photos from the 1990s.SRW wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 11:10 amOnly that Renewal SA has been seeking expressions of interest for retail operators to overall the Railways Station's commercial offering.

I just found this information in the asic insolvency notices. Lists "Levitz Australia Proprietary Limited" along with various other LeCornu business names. Confirms there was an official relationship of some kind.
