Interesting looking design. Pitty it doesn't address the street very well - ground floor car park? Bleh! Would Holdfast Bay allow the developer to have retail tennancies?
I know, and from what I've seen, it ruins the whole area. Here it'll be worse becuase it's such a high-traffic area.Cruise wrote:..... and the same mistakes are being repeated at Port Adelaide.
In all fairness, College Street is a minor back road. I doubt a business would be successful on such a quiet street.AtD wrote:Cheers for the scoop. Stupid me didn't bother migrating Latitude from the old building list to the new one. I'll add it tonight.

I think Crawf was talking about how the Glenelg of today is a vastly different place today than what it was a decade ago. Without a doubt the Holdfast Shores precinct has been the catalyst for the regeneration of Glenelg. I am with Crawf on this one. Glenelg is definitely a better place now.Mants wrote:well, no it hasnt really.crawf wrote:The Holdfast shore development has improved Glenelg dramatically and has become a very popular place to live and play.
all the sand movement and dredging, caused by holdfast shores marina, has made glenelg beach a continuous work site. quite an "improvement" ey?
College St battle rises

CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a 12-storey apartment block in place of a historic Glenelg house are back on stream.
Developer Urban Construct, which failed in a previous attempt to build a high-rise on College St, has acquired a key property and has lodged new $85 million plans with Holdfast Bay Council.
The council rejected Urban Construct's previous 12-storey development for the site in 2004 a decision upheld on appeals in the Environment Resources and Development Court and the Supreme Court.
On that occasion the developer wanted to demolish half a historic 1870s house, split between 3 and 5 College St, because it could not acquire number 5.
The company has since done a deal to buy 5 College St from Dr Pamela Ryan later this year, and wants to demolish the entire house.
Dr Ryan had previously resisted lucrative offers to sell her property because she opposed the development.
She could not be contacted for comment last week.
Urban Construct chief executive Todd Brown said the new proposal complied with the council's development plan and he expected it to be approved.
``We are hopeful the Holdfast Bay Council will support our development application,'' he said in an emailed statement.
``(It's) a truly environmentally sustainable residential tower that will set new benchmarks for residential developments across the State.''
He said if approved the high-rise would create 160 residential apartments and be ``South Australia's first truly green residential development''.
Solar and wind power would be used to service all public areas, and plans to build rainwater tanks and use stormwater on community areas were also in place.
Opposition to the proposal is already fierce. Holdfast Bay Mayor Ken Rollond said he would ``fight to block it'' and would begin gathering a petition of objectors.
Manson Towers Residents' Association president Kathleen Job also vowed to oppose the development.
She said Manson Towers residents would have their car park relocated if the development went ahead.
The car park, located between the College St properties and the retirement village, was sold to Urban Construct in 2004.
Mayor Rollond was elected, in part, on the basis of his promise to cease high-rise development, so he is under some degree of obligation to continue that stance.frank1 wrote:I like twins better, but i think latitude is still good. Just hope the NIMBY's don't win over this proposal.
