this hotel and apartments could well be a bit of a game changer for Currie street

And I'm hoping for that end of Hindley as well as Light Square to get a little bit "activated" by it too Means a lot of people in that end of town after hours that wouldn't have been there otherwise

Assembling of jump forms has started.

From today

There will be two shafts then
This one will be a game changer

How? There's been plenty of towers developed recently with two cores. Unless you're referring to the height and location, in that case, I agree with you.

somebody with actual technical knowledge let me know whether that makes sense, but the plans show two relevant areas, one will contain lifts throughout the whole building (hotel + separate resident lifts) and a set of stairs, while the second one contains a lift between ground floor and basement and then stairs all the way to the top. Do lifts / stairs usually imply cores ?

Surely owners of these high end apartments would have a separate lift to hotel guests? Just sayin'.

yes, but they have a couple of overlapping floors (parking, gym, pool) and so are directly next to each other

Received an email yesterday 01Mar2019 on the progress, it looks like it will sellout before completion, they are claiming only 3 apartments left. Also photo of the core.

So you've bought one of these apartments?

That's interesting, which floor/aspect/why that building? If the gym/pool etc are part of the hotel do you get automatic access? or do you have to pay? To get access does that mean you have to use 2 lifts? can you access your apartment lifts via the lobby of the hotel? or forced to use a "residence's" entrance, which if I recall from DA was off; was it Rosina Street?

Correct.

27 / west

Apartments have no separate amenities or common spaces beyond lifts & lobby, everything (gym, pool, etc) is through the hotel. Access is by pay, the 'sales pitch' was that it reduces strata fee (as no maintenance costs) and only user pay.

Ground floor access to resident lifts is via a separate entry on Rosina (afaik, not sure about lobby access). Resident's lifts have access to car parking floors. I am not fully sure on which floors we can cross-over into the hotel (i.e. I assume that we can access the pool/gym floor directly from the residents lifts, but I don't have that on paper)

Why that building? Its timeline worked with my timing, I was fairly certain it will get build (given the hotel component); general (state) concessions and grants are more than tax, fees and moving costs, so I will actually get money for buying it, reducing financial risk; developer is also builder and then landlord of hotel , so I expect that construction quality will be ok; location and view were what I was looking for; the price tag was relatively speaking very low in comparison to similar projects ( Echelon had the same apartment with equivalent floor, orientation, floor plan & size for 100k more and crossing the FHG threshold)
