[U/C] Re: Victoria Tower - 36 Grote Street | 123m | 35 levels | apartments

What is the function of the big grey shed on the far east side by the botanic gardens ? (see pictures 1 and 3 of LLessor above).
Decontaimination tent. It's pressure sealed and surrounded by water misters to prevent toxic dust.

https://i.imgur.com/bC4zA8y.jpeg Not sure what the little buildings are. The larger one seems to have too much glass to be a toilet. This strange little park is now open. The glass building is a meeting/conference room presumably for Lot Fourteen tenants and the other just utility. There are no pub...

Re: News & Discussion : New Restaurants, Bars & Night Clubs

The latest update on Belles Hot Chicken is that they'll finally open their Adelaide store in April. Considering little is known of where they're opening, I'm not too convinced of this, but happy to be proven wrong. Proven wrong you are! :D Belles Hot Chicken will be located in the Netter Building o...

I know I've said it many times, but I'd rather Council address Grenfell/Grote before the other main streets.

Re the comment "Ghost Tower".. If there is no demand for office space, then why would Walker Corp be planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a development like this. Adelaide does have the highest office vacancy rate in the country, though so much of it are old and run down o...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Isn't the rail lease holder supposed to maintain the line in working condition? If so, it shouldn't be an issue to run a special service. That was how the deal was presented at the time, to reduce backlash from giving up the line, but it's well known that there has been no enforcement of that condi...

Re: News & Discussion: Laneway & Streetscape Projects

The upgrade looks great and is well overdue. I don't think the people in the tenders represent the actual crowd though ... Where's Stumbling Sam, Drunk Dave and a random person throwing up in one of the new planter boxes? Hopefully the urban elements are all designed to take plenty of damage, inclu...

What do we, the public, as owners of the land, get out of this deal?

We've chipped in $220 million to pretty the plaza and prime rents for Walker in now two overheight towers on public land. Do we get reimbursed? Will Walker contribute to a concert hall or upgrade to Festival Centre? What's our ROI?
