Like the BHP building next to it, very ordinary design saved by really nice glazing.
I saw it in person last week, thought it was pretty decent and OK.

Fantastic skyline impact in that shot!

I really think a loop which goes down Grote/Wakefield is the most logical solution. Firstly, it’s wide enough. Secondly, it provides connection to key destinations in the CBD - Central Market, Chinatown and Gouger St. It’s also useful for connecting to secondary locations such as Calvary Hospital an...

Once OBahn reaches its end of life it should be converted to heavy rail. Hard disagree. Would reduce convenience, increase travel times, destroy a nice green corridor, and also almost certainly cost much more than even completely rebuilding the whole O-Bahn track and building more buses locally for...

Adelaide Metro is designed to transport people in the morning peak from 8 am to 9 am and the afternoon peak from 5 pm to 6 pm. This means Adelaide Metro hires drivers for two shifts and they have excess capacity in the middle of the day. If we want to introduce free fares, the first place to introd...

As I’ve said previously, if a western tram loop connecting RAH with Victoria Square (only 2-2.5km long) came to fruition, this part of town would go absolutely nuts with apartment and hotel towers.

Great news! This tower and Central Market will transform this part of the city. I think the first of many new towers in this area over the next decade.

If there is ever going to be an underground train station in the Victoria Square precinct, it’ll be located directly under Victoria Square. Why? Because they can then dig a cut and cover hole for the station and platforms, rather than creating a bored tunnel station which are horrendously expensive ...

Application lodged yesterday: 237 GROTE ST ADELAIDE SA 5000 UNDER ASSESSMENT Description Mixed-use staged development comprising five (5) towers to a maximum height of 27 levels and 95.4m, including tourist accommodation and four residential flat buildings, together with shared basement and podium ...

Why can’t they just have a two-track tram with the tram lane also a normal traffic lane on the North Adelaide section of the route? Like what they used to have on King William St South? Like Jetty Rd Glenelg now? That way, no loss of traffic lanes or parking. No one loses anything. I know the tram w...

Wild idea, but what would people think of a compromise where we can have dual tram lanes on O'Connell Street, that yes, would reduce it to one lane in each direction for traffic - but if LeFevre Terrace was duplicated and Main North Road redirected into LeFevre Terrace and then the road realigned t...

No mention of it yet, but I’d be pretty surprised if they didn’t build a new tram stop at the intersection with Gaol Rd. Better still, also build a new train station (relocate Mile End?) between new WCH and the RAH, with an entrance off Port Rd.

Where’s the public transport access? A dinky bus stop on port road? And that car park is terrible… Having just come back from Europe and enjoying the incredible public transport systems there it’s just disappointing that this hospital is designed for cars and pretty much nothing else… No mention of...
