[COM] Re: 52-66 King William Street | 65m | 15 Levels | Southern Cross Arcade

Today I saw that the Sands and McDougall name has been added to the awning in the relevant area: Screenshot_20230626-202611_Video Player.jpg It was also confirmed that we will use hot-desking in the new building, answering the question of how seven offices will fit into one (even if it's the larges...

[U/C] Re: 42-56 Franklin Street | ~98m | 22lvls | Office

Based on my reading of amendments to DA, Ithink this still might be 94m. I've never tracked down diagrams for the final approved design.

[COM] Re: 52-66 King William Street | 65m | 15 Levels | Southern Cross Arcade

I dont think it does at all. I think the contrast allows the original facade to stand out and distance itself from the new. That's what gets my goat really. Looks stuck on. I mean, at least the facade was retained. It had to be. But yeah.... wish there was a better way of incorporating it. The rest...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

Call me a cynic, but why bother? The design is so-so, however at the end of the day this doesn't provide an outstanding centre... Better facilities than what's there, sure, but for starters it's nowhere near O'Connell Street which should have been the primary objective. IF not on the reasoning that...

[COM] Re: 52-66 King William Street | 65m | 15 Levels | Southern Cross Arcade

Surely businesses like banks and telcos have embraced working from home and automation a lot more than government. CBA just capped HO at 50%. Takes balls for a company to do that but it's necessary. The balance went far in the wrong direction and it has made managing teams a nightmare where the emp...

SA isn't the only tenant of the building, right? People making it out like the developers didn't build big enough. Maybe up to the tenant to rent what they need...?

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

Why not build nothing? It costs nothing besides the annual costs of a weed whacker. Adelaide needs a new dirt car park since the le cornu site got developed. Makes sense to move South Australia's heritage closer to the heart of the city. Presumably the cheapest option by far would be to turn over t...

And if you really want to attract more foreign tourists, spend the money on attracting more international students.... you get not only the spending by the student itself (which is substantially higher than what 99% of tourists spend), you also get friends and family coming for tourist visits...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

Quite an expensive half-arsed at $18 million! For reference, the first (and to date only) stage of the Vic Square upgrade was $24 million. I actually think the North side is pretty nicely done. The problem is the majority of the street is occupied by a behemoth car park and vacant arcade as well as...

Claybro, if you're going to engage in ridiculous conspiracy theories, I suggest you take your comments elsewhere and peddle them on other web forums. But they are not welcome here. 15 minute cities are not a conspiracy theory. Just Google it. It is being spoken about and rolled out by town planners...

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

How is $600m a lot to spend? If anything $200m was nowhere near enough even as a projected price tag. No one would be saying the same if this were a contemporary gallery, which would cost the same (if not more)… In a state such as South Australia with a fairly small budget, how is $600m not a lot t...

[U/C] Re: Central Market Arcade Redevelopment | 130m | 39 levels

Presume it’s just the office component? Considering almost all the apartments have been sold. CBRE is exclusively commercial real estate. Can say with confidence that they'd be waiting for a precommitment to the office component which is natural. What is it, 9 levels? wouldn't take much to find som...
