A FIVE-STOREY apartment block on South Terrace has been approved by the Development Assessment Panel.
The $9 million development includes 27 apartments, retail and commercial areas and 29 parking spaces within five car stackers.
The Sun Construction Australia development, on the corner of South Tce and Winifred St, also has a roof deck taking the total height of the building to six levels.
Project manager Sam Nicholls said construction could start within two months.
“We’d be hoping to start in mid to late April and it could take about 12 to 14 months (to finish building),” he said.
Deputy Lord Mayor Houssam Abiad, who sits on the panel, said the development ticked all the right boxes.
“It’s a really interesting multi-use development that has retail and commercial on (the lower levels) and 27 apartments,” he said.
“Importantly the development is sympathetic to neighbouring (buildings) and the Parklands.”
Mr Abiad said he believed there was a demand for more high-density residential developments in the CBD.
“There’s no doubt the demand (for residential developments) has increased in Adelaide since the city has started to become more vibrant,” he said.
“These type of developments play an important role in increasing the number of people who live in the CBD.”
The panel — which considers developments under $10 million in value — approved the apartment at its meeting on Monday, despite two maisonettes, built around 1900, needing to be demolished to make way for the apartment block
