[COM] Re: SWP: 413 KWS Vue on King William | 89m | 28Lvl | Residen

epic! This will surely cement S-KWS as a skyline in its own right, all be it a small one. Hopefully more to come in this area. When is expected completion? I hate to be the grammar police, but isn't it 'albeit' not 'all be it'? :P Anyway, I gather expected completion would be sometime in 2016, real...

Re: Glenside redevelopment

The removal of "23 significant trees" will be a battleground. I would like to see more trees planted in and around the newly extended supermarket carpark. What trees are being removed? I have no problems if they are Gum trees, they are a pest of a tree and nothing annoys me more than thos...

Agreed, terrible. If they are going to spend the time and money to redevelop a facade, do it properly.

[COM] Re: U/R: Colonial Mutual Building > Mayfair Hotel

I've always wondered what stood where the "jewel box" is currently and thought it would have probably been a nice historic building. That picture above confirms this. Why oh why did we destroy our heritage? :| It's just as bad as what's going on in the suburbs with the most austere, out-of...

[COM] Re: U/C: Rundle Mall Redevelopment | $30m

Eucalyptus trees would not have worked in the tight confines of the mall for numerous reasons, including adherence to a main chunk of the design ethos envisioned by the architect.... as to the idea that they do not belong else where in the city and the suburbs...?!?! They would've worked an absolut...

I'm not having trouble believing that. It's a neat looking building and inner city living is booming here.

I'm just glad the council didn't go on with their stupid native crusade and plant Eucalyptus Trees. IMO, those trees are not fit for the city nor the suburbs.

I can't be the only one who dislikes this building. It looks like a claustrophobic box and not in the slim 'New York skyscraper' way. :sly:

Does anyone remember when Victoria Square was full of Silver Birch trees in the 80s? I much preferred them, why they ever replaced them is beyond me.
