well based on that render I actually dont mind it all that much compared to a bagful of other buildings in the city. But obviously its a bit hard to make an accurate assessement from an old, low-res render which is why I'm defaulting to 'something's getting built' enthusiasm for the projectPants wrote:So you actually like this thing, or is your point still that not every new development has to be a work of art?
My intrigue began when I was looking through the capital city committee website and the state government major projects website, which had both withdrawn this project from their lists. I was intrigued so I sent an e-mail to the relevant person at council, and the response received indicates that the project has been cancelled. Another interesting fact to note was that the building should have been opened early next year.AtD wrote:Will: Is that based just on the lack of action by the developer or is there something else? I wonder what could have caused the development to stop, since all the apartments had already been sold.
That doesnt mean its definatelly cancelled though if you didnt get a concrete answer, may have just been put back a bit for reasons unknown. Bit of a pity though I think cause we need a few more low-moderate income apartments to come onto the market as all the new ones that are on the market are pretty expensive and not too many people can afford 1 bedroom apartments for 400 grand plus.I was intrigued so I sent an e-mail to the relevant person at council, and the response received indicates that the project has been cancelled.

It never made sense that this development be scrapped - student housing is an extremely strong sector at the moment.ROBERTKERRISON wrote:Hey Guys
I work in the EDS building on North Terrace, next to Victoria Street. Just had work from building management that the South end of Victoria Street, Hindley Street will be blocked off next month and re opened in 2009. This is to make way for demolition of old Empire Building on Hindley Street. Will be interesting to see this go finally as it is an eyesore in this part of the city.. I thought the Octagon Apartments had been scrapped? The Adelaide City Council has just sent us an official notice.
I work in the EDS Building as well and have seen the same notice.ROBERTKERRISON wrote:Hey Guys
