It's here at the end of Gilles Arcade (see the building marked with the red asterisk) I presume the twin towers will roughly be where i've placed the pink asterisks.skyliner wrote:Fantastic news On a more basic level (excuse ignorance), where in Waymounth St is Queen's theatre. North/south side? Between what two parallel N-S sts or nrear what other st?

Omicron, go to the first posts of this thread I started and you'll see I gave a rough height of the two towers. As for the glass, balustrades are usually not green, but the client/architect can choose whatever suits them, so we can only speculate for the time being.Omicron wrote:Gasp! That sounds very promising - twin 22-storey towers! The fact that they are primarily residential means no more slabs of underwhelming green glass, either. What would be a reasonable estimate of height? I too can't wait to see some renders for this.
I had no idea how old the Queen's Theatre was, either - constructed in late 1840 and opened in 1841.
Cheers

That's correct Wayno, on each side of the Queens Theatre.Wayno wrote:I presume the twin towers will roughly be where i've placed the pink asterisks.

Beach DC P/L. I was advised the Developer has been chosen but will remain confidential (for reasons unknown to me).AtD wrote:Great sleuthing! Who is the architect, Wayno?
I actually registered my interest in purchasing an apartment (yes, for real). My feeling is this will be a fantastic development...
[edit] much of the original sleuthing credit needs to be directed to Ho Really. I simply did some leg work to confirm things (due to my personal interest in the development)[/edit]

Thanks wayno and pistol for the location info. Most appreciated. Will go on my map in our staffroom for all to see Adelaide can no longer be considered a backwater.

Wow, exciting times ahead. Apparently I didn't even have this mentioned on my database, so I have updated it so and will upload it later.
As for height, I took a look at the first page, and everything appears consistent with the latest news, so I think it would be wise to change the thread title to what has been confirmed at 69.3m.
