Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

Agreed re: the carpark. Keeping the Premier as far away as possible from any planning decisions at Bowden is essential. It feels like Bowden is starting to make progress and move along again, with proposals for all sites except the one at the front next to Jarmers - any idea what is happening with ...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

Latest Bowden proposal, the design feels sort of post-modern? I don't mind it. https://renewalsa.sa.gov.au/news/affordable-housing-takes-centre-stage-as-showstopping-bowden-legacy-piece-revealed Also, has the office development next to Bowden Station started? I drove past and noticed works happenin...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

What happened to that commercial residential proposal from that Melbourne group that Malaka tried to swat with the Adelaide crowd stupidity? Has that gone under because of his stupidity? The gasworks site by MAB? Still undergoing remediation, but they are apparently ahead of schedule, and could pos...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

Will be great for the area, but this still gets to me: I hear ya! it's annoying that they have blinkers on and believe retail is all about food & coffee. I see they have tried to remedy the inability to locate a chemist in the area by offering free delivery from 2 nearby chemists. I guess that ...

Not sure what the little buildings are. The larger one seems to have too much glass to be a toilet.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

Of course Kieran Snape was one of the greenies to vote against it. His position was that a fence was ok, if it was retractable or removable (but also shouldn't be ugly). Not sure where he thought the money to build a retractable fence for a full size soccer pitch was going to come from (never mind ...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

Veronica Maine and Cue have closed now in Adelaide Central Plaza after moving to Rundle Street. ACP would have been an ideal spot for a two level Zara fronting the mall and would fix the issue with the ever vacant second floor. Commonwealth Bank will also close on 1st March. And following on from t...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

Is that the soccer pitch that's fairly close to the rail line, down near Sir Donald Bradman? If so, it's not really the part of the parklands where members of the public are likely to venture. It's locked between rail corridor, a main road and other ovals. There is no residential or commercial near...

[PRO] Re: Westfield Marion (2019/20 Extension)

Uniqlo Marion "opening Autumn" confirmed on their FB. Good result for Adelaide to have two stores now, the city store is always busy anytime I'm there, and I hope do well at Marion. Based on the popularity of their Rundle Mall store, hopefully the Marion footprint is larger. Yeah, the Run...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

I take your point, and hate to make assumptions so apologies if I'm wide of the mark, but I'm guessing when living in an apartment you were young and / or didn't have a young family - and many apartment builds will continue to cater for that market. My point was that if we are to entice families aw...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

Therein lies the problem of apartments in Australia... they are perceived as being sub-par as compared to landed houses. And maybe that is at least partially justified with some of the quality issues seen interstate, which has seen entire buildings deemed unlivable. Agree the offering overseas is s...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million

What's with the big FLINDERS letters that aren't in anything close to their fairly recent rebranding?
