What was the arrow marking?

The image is from a real-estate website, so the arrow is marking the aaprtment for sale.

This ain't so bad. As I've said earlier, multiples of this would be too hilarious, but this is an example of Adelaide at least experimenting. Looking better than I'd hoped. My dad hates it so that's something.

I noticed this building now has two of those red aircraft warning lights on it's roof.

I like this even more after seeing that photo - thanks Will.

Thanks for the photos.

SURELY they could do better than a colour-bond fence!!!!

I think you'll find that's temporary hoarding.

In another surprising twist, the top of Altitude has a line of LED lights that change colour every few seconds. From Blue to red, yellow, green to purple. Really stands out (I noticed it from Anzac highway as I drove in to the gym this morning at 5:30)

A poor attempt to capture the rooftop colours but I guess you can get the idea...

I saw this too last night, and I must admit that it looks great.

It is amazing how such a small and in the scheme of things inexpensive thing can make such a massive difference to the look of the building.

I hope that this feature is actually left on permanently and not switched off like the one on the Aurora Building on Pirie Street.

The one on Aurora failed somewhat a few weeks ago. Something has happened either in logic or connections that made it display colours incorrectly. I hope it's switched off to repair it, and not just to ignore it.

The light on the top of altitude is not working at the moment, maybe they were just testing it a couple
of weeks ago. I went into the city to check it out and it wasn't working

[Will]

Like most Urban Construct developments, the Altitude building, once complete will become a member of the Oaks group of apartment hotels.

However, to avoid confusion (in my opinion, it will cause confusion), instead of naming it the Oaks Altitude, it will be known as the Oaks Precicnt.

The Loft is now on public notificiation until 17 June 2010

I'd post renders but i'm pretty sure we all know what the Gallery looks like.... *sigh*...

Is this going immediately south of Altitude?
