A picture of the site for stage 5 (next to stage 1, the dark grey building behind the site) on the north west side of Carrington St & Huttle Sq showing demolition complete on Sunday 13/12/2020

This development isn’t part of hurtle and co. I believe stage 5 is on pulteney (former tyre shop).

Pretty sure this is the building going to be built on that narrow block. Not stage 5 of Hurtle and Co.

For a while there was a banner advertising this at One Hurtle Square (I think), with the developer Unley Property Group. However, the contact details on the banner were removed for ages and there is nothing on the UPG site about it, so not sure who the developer is?

Yes, should have clarified sorry - it is the beaurepaires on Pulteney St that has been flattened.

Geez that's a very narrow block. The girl walking home doesn't look very interested either. Is work proceeding on the block further South and also the project opposite the hospital on Pulteney St.?

"Traditional" eight-storey hotel replaces Whitmore Square eco concept
NEWS
A development originally proposed to be Adelaide’s first eco-hotel has been scrapped for a “boutique hotel,” with two local heritage-listed properties set to be demolished to make way for the new building.

The new proposal replaces plans for a development pitched as Adelaide’s first eco-hotel, called Hotel Ivaritji.

Located adjacent to Whitmore Square, at 174-180 Wright Street, two 1895 heritage-listed villas will be demolished to make way for the yet-to-be-named hotel when construction gets underway later this year.

Earlier this month, Adelaide City Council received the “staged building rules consent” for the “demolition of existing structure, earthworks and construction of a two-storey mixed-use building”.

A council spokesperson said it was waiting on the State Commission Assessment Panel to ensure “any outstanding conditions” had been satisfied before granting final development approval.

The new development is set to comprise an eight-storey hotel and a mixed-use two-storey section.

Shelf company Whitmore Holdings is behind the new build. The company has also worked on 91 Commercial Road in Port Adelaide and is involved in a development in the Tonsley Innovation District.

Whitmore Holdings project manager Nicholas Murphy said the development next to Sparkke at the Whitmore had been due to begin early in 2020 but had to be pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He said construction was now set for mid-year.

South Australian-based architecture firm Troppo designed the original $11-million eco-concept hotel with external cladding to resemble the fur skin cloak of Kaurna ancestor Ivaritji.

The firm was granted building approval for the development from the state’s development commission in 2014 – despite opposition from Adelaide City Council over the demolition of the two heritage villas.

But Troppo did not proceed with the plans for the initial eight-storey project, telling InDaily the concept was not viable.

I received a letter from the council regarding this project, just asking for any responses from the surrounding community.
