Feels like a win for housing at least and it's close to the city

Not sure of the impact to that intersection though.

In true South Australia style, that'll be an after thought addressed in a few years after the development is completed.

at least we've found somewhere to stick the Rundle Street lantern when the Pulteney Street Carpark is demolished

New render

I wonder what that rust brown will look like in real life …

Depends on what the material is. If it's painted concrete or aluminium panelling, not great, but if it's tinted concrete or some other stone than probably pretty nice.

Given our track record im hoping for the later but expecting the former

Citify seem to do a bit more than some developers in regard to the aesthetics of their developments. The apartments they built on Melbourne St have murals on the blank precast walls.

Demolition underway 25/03. The back of the site has also been cleaned up. Good!

Again, this shows to me the Citify are on the ball and at least have some level of community focus.

How many other developers would have let the derelict, burnt out remains of the building sit there for another x months/years/decades?

Site is now clear and neat. The remnants of the heritage pub are looking bruised and battered but are still standing.

And it wouldn't be a multistory development in a wealthy Adelaide suburb without the customary stroppy local.

Site works underway.

drive past this site regularly, whilst I am happy to see it developed. I think I'll stop driving past it as the traffic is going to be woeful.

Do you mean during construction, or do you believe the residents and their service providers are going to make an appreciable increase in traffic once it’s finished? How many extra vehicle movements do you expect compared to how many there are on those roads now?
