CBD Development: Low/Mid-Rise

Tower crane going up on 8 level development on Ifould st

Went back to page 40 I think it was to get this render of the building.
Looks like just a block but always good to get another tower crane on the skyline.

Silly Pistol, you could have just searched my site.

Argh, I keep forgetting your map...

Sorry Adam.

It appears that the student apartment development at 242-248 Franklin Street, which was denied planning approval at an earlier ACC DAP meeting in August of this year was approved on october 7, following some amendments to the proposal, the most significant of these was an increment in the size of the apartments.

I think that this time a rejection by the ACC has had a positive end outcome.

From realestate.com:

This brand new student apartment has just been approved by Adelaide City Council. The building has 24 student apartments and a 139sqm retail area. So close to Universities and Central Market. Construction will start from mid 2010 and finish by the end of 2011. When considering the booming student market, this is really a "Hard Working" cash cow for you.

Well here's something interesting. Spotted this on the website of the architect who designed the rejected 7 level building in Kent Town . I've got absolutely no idea on the 'status' of this one - according to the website its a concept for a site Pulteney Street - but purely based on the render I sure hope it goes ahead! Looks like its on the corner of Ifould st

Maybe this is not just a pipe dream. As I was walking to Rundle Street tonight, I noticed that the current building on site has been fenced off and it appears that it will be demolished.

Adelarch had said it looked like that render showed the corner of Ifould St. Is that right? Is it related to this thread, or are there two different things happening on that one (pretty small) street?

[AtD]

I'm also a bit confused. I originally thought the Ifould St crane was for this project:



But I realise now that this is supposed to be a lot further east, at 22-26 Ifould Street which is closer to Hutt St.

So what is being built?

[Will]

Indeed, both the above projects are on ifould Street.

The first one:



this project is the one that is currently being built. This one is on the Hutt Street end of Ifould Street



The second one, is a completely separate project altogether:



This project is at the Pulteney end of Ifould Street. This project is still a vision as no plans have been submitted to the council. However, the current building on site is being demolished.

[Raider]

Unfortunately, the existing building on the corner of Ifould & Pulteney is not being demolished. This past week they have started rendering it.

Nice looking building, prob would be best suited to KWS or the like. Would be good to visit the actual site to get a true appreciation for the concerns raised.

Council rejects 'amazing' building
AN "AMAZING" building planned for Hutt St has been refused development approval because it would replace one of three Victorian cottages.

The five-storey dining, office and apartment building proposed for 13-16 Hutt St was last night rejected by Adelaide City Council's Development Assessment Panel, despite panel members praising its design and the life it would bring to the east end of the city.

Deputy Lord Mayor Michael Henningsen said it was "a great design that would sit so nicely in any other place but here", David Grieve described the proposed building as "pretty amazing" and along with fellow independent panel member Professor Mads Gaardboe said he hoped to see it built elsewhere in the city one day.

The proposal was blocked because it required the demolition of the central building in a row of three "high Victorian" style cottages.

The cottage and those either side of it are not heritage listed but the council's development plan guidelines for the East End requires "the conservation and re-use of heritage places and distinctive buildings of historical and commercial character".

In a report to the panel, council planning staff said the building would "bring commercial activity, outdoor dining, residential use and interest to a portion of Hutt Street that is currently lacking in vibrancy and pedestrian activity".

But the panel voted to refuse development approval, citing the damage that would be caused to the area's distinctive historical streetscape.

I'm with the DAP on this.

[bm7500]

Yes, a nice design but wrong location. The DAP got it right for once.

[Professor]

Agree with that. There is precious little left of Victorian building along Hutt St.

Also in that precinct, it looks like there are some new apartments to be built on west side of Daly St, between Ifould and Flinders St. I think they are called Aria and demolition has started.

Anyone know this development?

[Shuz]

I too echo the chorus of the council's decision. This is a rare of a good planning decision that they have made, but I caution the council not to discourage the developer, but rather encourage them to look at an alternative site to grant planning consent for this development.
