[COM] Re: [PRO] 236-238 The Parade Norwood, Bath Hotel $11.5m

No, I am going to disagree because the term is not applicable to my opinion on the matter. I live within the CBD grid, however I grew up in the Norwood area. Unlike some of you on here, I'm not going to sit here and agree with every development because it's increasing the average height and density...

As someone who lives in Norwood, God damn will this stand out like dog's balls...

I mean, I'm all for progress, but something that high will look out of place with what else is around in comparison.

[U/C] Re: ONH: Tea Tree Plaza Upgrade | $190m

It seems as though this will be an unincorporated, stand-alone building, rather than one that attaches to the centre proper, meaning that in order to enter Aldi, you need to walk outside. I've never been a massive fan of this style. Marion shopping centre has it with Dan Murphy's and to a lesser ex...

[COM] Re: 50 Flinders St | 63m | 15lvls | Office

Saw this one last night. The work has been completed and the Savings and Loans bank has moved into the ground floor, with the bank itself open for business. The other ground floor tenancy still is empty, but construction-wise this one is complete. I'm actually really happy with how it turned out!

[CAN] Re: Enigma 8 & Lester Hotel | 18 & 16 lvl | Office/Retail/Ho

That looks a ton better than it did before the upgrade. Still though, I can't help but feel it needs to be taller to cope with the demands of the Hospital, University and the two proposed buildings nearby.

I've known about this for a while with a little insider knowledge. I'll try and dig up what information I am able to give out. I know that the floorplans have already been drawn as have renders.

Plus a bonus shot from the rear phrasing.jpg Oh wow that was not intended! Have you been on any of those rear tracks before? You get that strong vibe you shouldn't be there and some authority will soon come and yell at you. But you can take some real nice shots from back there then swiftly exit, le...

That's rather disappointing. I've kinda given up on this one, seeing as how long it has taken to get that last bit seemingly done. The amount of work done to the Vue on KW or 50 Flinders in the same chosen timeframe is immense in comparison. Does anyone know why it feels so sluggish? Would it possib...

The lane interruptions have been lifted, so pedestrian footpath access is allowed again. The ground floor frontage has signs up stating that the bank on the ground floor will be opening in November. This one is pretty much completed now. :D

While I'm at it, the Asian restaurant over the other side of the road also stands out. It's funny that quarter-of-a-billion dollars of investments have gone into the surrounding buildings over the last decade, but that is still a single story building, on a corner, no less. :P Completely agree rega...

Went past this one last night. Looks more or less done from the perspective of someone who knows nothing of construction. Looks really sleek and clean. Definitely one of my favourites. :D

Looking at Pikey's picture makes me wish that the podium were extended to the height of the roof. I assume that the Brecknock is heritage listed and unlikely to ever go, but without significant height next to the Vue building, I feel as though the tower proper of the building will kinda stick out li...
