104-108 Currie St

Palumbo Building has ambitious plans for a 32-storey mixed-use tower on Currie St that would be second only in height to Westpac House.

The proposal from Palumbo Building has more than 250 hotel rooms and 80 apartments in a complex towering above the Adelaide TAFE campus.

Company director Daniel Palumbo declined to put a total value on the project, which would cost close to $40 million to build. The application is one of four major CBD building proposals recommended for approval today

The 110m tower at the Rosina St corner would have 80 apartments over the top eight levels, above 14 floors housing 252 hotel suites.

Bars and shops and a mezzanine gallery space would occupy the ground level, while a seventh-floor "resort level" would have a terrace, pool, spa, and breakfast area.

Inbetween would be several floors of "mini" hotel rooms.

Apartments would range from one to three bedrooms and from 52sq m to 134 sq m, excluding balconies.

Of 140 carparks, 90 would be for residents and 50 for the hotel. More than 94 bicycle parks would be spread through the building.

The tower would be on one of Adelaide's few "island" sites with frontages to Solomon and Burnett streets as well as Currie and Rosina streets.

Two small buildings of no heritage value would have to be demolished.

The project, which would also have function and conference space, is recommended for approval despite not having an affordable housing component.

Construction would cost $39.5 million but Palumbo Building declined to put a total value on the development.

It doesn't.
This doesn't.

But affordable housing is something they want to encourage.

Ask yourself ... would you locate a 5 star hotel on the corner of Currie and Rosina?

In my opinion, the location is ok, but not prestigious enough for a 5 star hotel.

I was having a read of the development application, and the developers are aiming to create Adelaide's finest hotel. Thus, this would assume they are going for 5 star (or more)
