Its in a shit location for a 5star hotel (backpacker hostels nearby), looks like a quick sketchup job, looks like a office tower, I'm pretty sure the building behind the church is heritage listed and this is coming from a untrustworthy guy (Las Vegas - SSC Member) who was friends with the guy who made up about the famous 140m tower in the city south.

Maybe im going way over the top, but IMO I think itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a bit suss.

Yeah i was one of the people that were looking everywhere for that 140m tower 'king william apartments' hahaha, how could i fall for that.

Im not forgetting about this yet, but i'm preparing my self this time so im not getting to excited

Done, what do you have to prove this is legit? You might live up to your name if you can't prove it.

You've got until monday morning to get some credibility, or this thread goes into the bin.

I thought it was wierd how he was saying he had imput in the design but i guess when your designing it on a computer program of course you do.

I was thinking at the moment I wish they would instead of building offices at the planet site make it a hotel because it's right in the centre of the cbd and with some cocktail bars on the ground floor would revitalise that area at night. At the moment Pirie St is a ghost town at night except for the odd two or three people who go to the office after 8pm.

I'll believe it when i see some real prove such as the DA number and some proper renders or something that is creditably

A firm let a 14 year old design a building? Wow!

Next you'll be telling us how you helped to construct City Central Tower 1!

The other guys have given me doubts, but I haven't given up on you yet. Done, do you know what the Greenstar rating is going to be for this building? Just curious since there's a lot of glass. Also any costings as yet or what the building is worth?

Cheers

Done, the reason for my scepticism is that there's no record of a DA having been lodged with council.

If you're not winding us up and either you or the council's made a mistake about that, then no problem.

It looks like there's been too much effort put into it to be fake, so if it's not, sorry we doubted you.

As for input on design, I'd just repeat what everyone else has said. It looks like an unremarkable 80's office tower, mostly because of the half-octagon shape of the three sections of the Grote Street facade. The facade lines should be cleaner IMO. Also, the glass is great but needs to be broken up a bit. Basically, it just doesn't look like a hotel, which should be inviting.

If the building is still in the design stage why would they have even lodged a d/a yet?
