St Clair station landscaping:

This actually makes the station look a lot more appealing than the photos earlier in the thread. Doesn't look too bad at all. Not a lot of protection from bad weather though.

Fairly large and imposing apartment building is nearing completion next to the shopping center. And another one that from last I was up that way looked about 5-6 levels is going up across the street from it.
Construction in the race course part of the overall development has well and truly gotten under way.

That recently completed building in St Clair looks fantastic, really high quality materials and very smart looking design, better than the crap which got built in Mawson Lakes.

Another apartment building for St Clair.

Soul Apartments:

Decent bulk for the area (should be more that size in St Clair), but lacking—dare I say it—a bit of soul.

Nice. Where about?
I assume it will be near the existing apartment buildings near the shopping center and close to the train station.

Housing construction firm Rivergum Homes has applied to build 35 more homes in St Clair.

The $4 million project — dubbed Upper St Clair — will be built along Stallion Drive and a new street, to be named Filly St, in the north western part of the suburb

The plans include 17 two-storey townhouses and a two-storey block containing 18 flats.

Thirteen of the terrace homes would have two bedrooms, starting at $384,000, while the remaining four would be three-bedroomed.

The majority of the planned flats, starting at $259,000, are designed as two-bedroom.

Rivergum expects the homes to go on sale next month, with construction starting mid-year.

Another two stages of development are set to be completed within the next two years, with an expected total turnover of $24 million.

Project director Tony Scott predicts high interest in the development.

“Following proven market demand in areas such as Royal Park, Lightsview and the wider St Clair project … smarter, more affordable homes are highly desirable,” he said.

I know this is a really old post but this picture with the staggered balconies and the cutoff corner interested me. I think, for what it is, the appearance is really interesting from this angle, and pleasing to the eye despite the bland materials. It might just be me, but to me it goes to show that an architect with a bit of an eye can make something unique out of any project.

Are those flamingoes?

Agree with this. Also there is not nearly enough curved corners in Adelaide. Art deco never really took off in Adelaide last century, and doesn't appear to be in this one either, which is a shame.

I recently bought a drone - did some test flying at St Clair the other day (with my friend who recommended the area), but the video recording turned out so well that I decided to edit and upload it. Enjoy the aerial views!

Plasmatron nice video of St. Clair. Well done.

Cheers

That looks really professional! I had no idea St. Clair was getting that built up.

Building heights lifted under plan to rezone, redevelop St Clair Village to include housing
Tall apartment blocks would be built and a tired shopping centre redeveloped with housing, cafes and new retail near a train station under a plan.

Housing, new retail, childcare and cafes are part of a massive proposed redevelopment to a suburban shopping centre that would see building heights increase.

The Melbourne owners of St Clair Village shopping centre, ISPT, want to rezone the centre, its carpark and nearby vacant land to allow higher buildings, homes, and retail to create a new ‘gateway’.

Investigations have now started into what heights would be appropriate for the western suburbs site.

ISPT says it hadn’t yet decided on proposed maximum heights but “any proposal will be suitable for the context and site”.

Tom Water, for ISPT, said the development size was still being considered amid a “range of options”.

“We are completing our reports to substantiate any increase in heights,” Mr Water said.

He said rezoning would change the affected area from residential to ‘Suburban Activity Centre Zone’, allowing for retail, mixed-use, commercial, childcare, and accommodation.

Planning Minister Nick Champion said the rezoning push would investigate the potential to add more housing and shops to the “strategic location” next to St Clair railway station and along a major urban corridor.



He’s previously said he would back high-rise developments at public transport hubs.

“Developments along key transport routes are an opportunity to achieve an increase in density so there can be more housing choice and options for the community,” Mr Champion said.

“The proposal to increase maximum building heights has merit given the site’s location however further investigations are required to determine the extent to which height limits could be increased without having detrimental impacts on the neighbourhood.”

Nearby medium-density residential buildings are up to four storeys, with some five-level apartment blocks in the vicinity.

Documents show Charles Sturt Council is “overall supportive” of rezoning and high-level concepts, while nearby Stewards Lane could be partially closed.

The site adjoins the train station and includes the one-to-two-level St Clair Village Shopping Centre, as well as a supermarket, pharmacy, medical centre, dentist, food retailers and takeaway shops.

The rezoning takes in the shopping centre car park and vacant land to the north, meaning it could become housing or retail or be redeveloped.

ISPT will now undertake community consultation and master planning before Mr Champion makes a decision.

Mr Water said ISPT was “pleased to have received Planning SA and the Minister’s endorsement in supporting the commencement of the code amendment at St Clair Village”.

“We are working through the code amendment submission with a view to commencing the formal consultation process during the next few months.”

St Clair Village was last redeveloped in 2013. The consultation period has not yet opened.

A 10 year old skipping centre is already "tired"?

But it's a good move, a 5-8 storey development would be welcome here. It's next to a train station and, obviously, above a shopping centre, so it has the basics covered.
