Looks like crap but at least it'll compliment the iPad Apartments nearby.

Two weeks? That's optimistic given how problematic segments and components made in China can be.
If I was this developer I'd be factoring in delays of months at least. Remember the ferris wheel at Docklands.

If they light up those black slanted metal? beams with blue or green LED's it could look ok at night.

Un-freaking-believable. If it hadn't been done already I wouldn't have believed it was possible to build a skyscraper that quickly ... 57 stories in 19 days!

At one level per week, the Adelaide one will be built comparatively slowly!

They say that they can build the hotel in 2 weeks but surely the time that it takes to construct the modules
in China should be included in the construction time.

You're right ... but offsite prefab can happen concurrently with site clearance and site prep. But yes in total time much more than 2 weeks.

Hopefully they pull it back down just as swiftly.
Atrocious.

Good point, it will be interesting to see how it all goes. Demolition will take a couple of months and then once all the
modules are put in place there's still a multitude of things which need to be done - doors, windows, electricity, gas,
water, furniture, lighting, air conditioning etc.

I imagine they will want to get it all done by March next year to cash in on the festivals. It's a challenging deadline,
they'll have to move quickly.
