Glad to see that kerb inlets for rain seem to be becoming standard. Also pleased to see a variety of tree species — too many councils having been planting a monoculture of Callery pears.

Update for Grenfell St as at 6/1/2024 showing recent work on new upper levels . Judging from the picture in this link (which is paywalled so I can't read it), the RAA will be moving into this building: https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=AAWEB_WRE170_MG_a&dest=https%3A%2...

Kinda wish Skycity had some strip lighting along its curves at night.

Gazman is following RM Williams to Rundle Place (Grenfell St frontage).

The supports closest Tower 1 will be redundant now as Tower 2 is supposedly confined east of the parliament balcony to 'preserve views'.

Honestly, things are so bad out there that if someone's proposing to build decent housing I'm inclined to let them. That said, 20-storeys seems something of an ambit claim given the area does not have the amenity or transport options of the CBD. Not only that, but the Minister does not have the god ...

A rooftop bar won't do much to activate the plaza, the stated purpose of this proposal.

Why are there gate keepers at both North Tce entrances when there is nothing happening on site.

There always seems to be at least 10 traffic monitors across the site. I hate to think how much money's being wasted.

If you read the planning report, the proponent rejected several concerns and recommendations expressed during the pre-lodgement process about the building mass and form including the suggestion that a single tower being considered.

What is the function of the big grey shed on the far east side by the botanic gardens ? (see pictures 1 and 3 of LLessor above).

Decontaimination tent. It's pressure sealed and surrounded by water misters to prevent toxic dust.

https://i.imgur.com/bC4zA8y.jpeg Not sure what the little buildings are. The larger one seems to have too much glass to be a toilet. This strange little park is now open. The glass building is a meeting/conference room presumably for Lot Fourteen tenants and the other just utility. There are no pub...

The latest update on Belles Hot Chicken is that they'll finally open their Adelaide store in April. Considering little is known of where they're opening, I'm not too convinced of this, but happy to be proven wrong. Proven wrong you are! :D Belles Hot Chicken will be located in the Netter Building o...
