A nice looking building, but it is another missed opportunity for an iconic tower on a large alotment in a prime location. :( Probably more disappointing than the Planet site in Pirie Street. My :2cents: Cheers Medium to large organisations prefer large floorplates, so there will always be a tenden...

This will bring thousands of workers back to the central cbd area. This will be great for the mall and surrounds. Will be glad to see those $2 shops fronting king William disappear. Stretching my memory a lot here, but about 25 years ago those shops were great for the dirt cheap, illegal, boot leg ...

I know the final design of a building often differs from the fancy computer renders we see, but this takes the cake!

Any ideas what the shed is really for?

Looks like they're offsetting the construction costs with some hydro grow, but i could be wrong

Loving it that you guys went to the effort to get pics from multiple vantage points.

On the bright side, these muppets won't ever actually build anything on the site, so...

The reality doesn't appear to reflect the renders.
The renders actually look really good.

yeah there's no scaffolding in the render and everything

That feeds into my concern that it will appear overbearing on our prime boulevard. This should have stepped back as it rises. I think the effect will be softened by the curvature of the columns, will be a wait an see. For you at least, i dunno when i'll ever be able to get back to Australia now wit...

Man. Form Projects (nope, not using the edgy mispelling) builds complete and utter garbage.

Considering it takes 2+ years I am surprised by this. It wasn’t due to open until 2023!

"due" ?

This thread has been going for 11 years. Honestly, just close it until piling has started...

I suppose i'd take the first one but looks like a bit of a Meriton job that you'll find a thousand of in sydney. Maybe the developer got lost?

The facade looks incredibly busy in that last shot (maybe the effect of the angle and reflections against the windows?). But I quite like this.

I make it 16 stories if you allow 2 stories behind street level scaffolding. note this picture is from 3 weeks ago. I guess they could have a 'mezzanine' floor, are those counted as a separate level?
