Yep this is an absolute disaster.

To put it even further into perspective there was an article on realestate.com.au today showing Sydney property prices over various periods since 1980. It calculates what the current price would be if they only grew by inflation. It makes for very ugly reading....

Really pleasing to see the Metro crane count this high, by far the most i've seen in my entire time on this forum. Good stuff

A snippet from the attached article above..... hilarious

As 5pm rolls in, guests are just a short walk away from dining on Rundle Street and its surrounds, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Convention Centre, and Adelaide Oval.

Throw into the mix the proposed 5% deposit scheme and falling interest rates, this is only going to get worse before it gets better

Qantas were smart not to take on SIA to Singapore, they would've ended up with a black eye and a fat lip in no time at all. They might even get the same result with this Auckland route.

Thanks for the photos Bobski

The tower proper is really starting to become obvious now

This announcement is so underwhelming by Qantas that they try to talk it up as a 1 stop connection to New York. Pathetic.

The CommSec State of the States report for March '25 quarter was released a few weeks ago. S.A has slipped from equal 2nd to 4th, ranking 2nd on three of the indicators (unemployment, construction work and dwelling starts).

It was this project that got me into buildings. I'd love them to revisit it but it won't happen.

I remember this proposal too in the late 90''s, at the time Adelaide and S.A was still stuck in the economic ...

Had to do a lap past today because I thought you all had the wrong address for a crane

Can't say i've ever seen a development get to this stage before installing a fixed crane, has there ever been another example of this?

Also didn't Air Asia fly to Adelaide pre covid?

It's good news though, Jetstar currently have the monopoly with flights to Bali. Hopefully Virgin will recommence flights soon.

Would be great if Thai Airlines was the next airline to come here.


Yes they did and I think it was a KL flight, which ...

LOL I personally love this.

I also really hope the big 4 consultancies share the space with government departments. Also with a big 4 bank.
Patrick this is clearly not corruption though, it's "policy streamlining" .


Haha yeah, then the Big 4 could do regular audits and miraculously find ...

For anyone interested, the exact width of this property is 8.9 metres.

Final height of building 41.8 metres.

I definitely prefer the new design. The podium seems like a bit of a downgrade but the up-close renders reveal the diamonds are not just a pattern on flat walls but instead textured, even on the edges. A nice touch indeed

Here's the article from today's online version of The Advertiser......
