I just did a quick scan through the thread and didn't catch any information about the northern façade. Does anyone have any information about it, or more specifically, can anyone tell me that it's not simply a blank wall?

There are two single bed apartments on each level on the northern end of the building. The north-western apartment has a balcony which faces Hindmarsh Sq
and a couple of windows on the northern wall wheras the north-eastern apartment has a balcony which eminates from the northern wall - i.e. faces the hotel complex

you have a ground floor then the first floor above that. It really aint that hard.

is it true in some countries buildings dont have a 13th floor? (goes from 12 to 14) or is that just a load of baloney?

The Crowne Plaza in Darwin has no 13th Floor!

Recieved on Friday. 2 more cranes soon!

Quite a bit of action on site in the last two weeks:
- Permanent fencing being placed on York St.
- BH site offices now on site
- mobile crane on site today
Looks like this is ready to take off (finally).

[Professor]

Yay

Lots of workers on site today

Go Bauldy!

Hey Pistol did you sell your apartment in Bent street yet ? I know you were keen to before
this development started construction.

[Pistol]

SOLD! And by the looks of it just in time...

[Pistol]

Now bring on the cranes

[Pistol]

Plenty of action on site today with piling equipment now being delivered and trench contractors ready to go.

BH are starting to kick into gear.

2010 completion date? I would've expected mid-late 2009 finish - judging by the speed of CoH, I would've expected the same out of this. Well, it looks bloody good anyway.

I'm not trying to be a negative Nelly or put Adelaide out of its league etc, but does anyone else cringe a little when we refer to buildings as towers when they 15 levels etc? Just a thought.

i don't cringe but i agree that it sounds a bit stupid, however what annoys me is when people say town, as in 'meet you in town', its stupid but i always say 'the city' and am always correcting people saying 'its a city not a town' lol

well in America they say "meet you Downtown" even in cities as big as New York

That happens in every city - even Sydney and Melbourne.

I say 'town' majority of the time.

I know its stupid but it annoys me now in the news report it also says that the BUILDINGS not towers have increased a level, can we change the thread title ?
