Apparently this is called “Spence on light” now but I can’t find any new renders or info.

Yeah
"Spence" a shitload less money on the design

Since when is there a 200m observation tower vision? If it's that decades old one, what's the point of including it and not other never built talls? Hi rev, thank you for the list of 'never built talls' you sent me. Much appreciated. I'm not sure where you got this additional tall, but since you in...

Everyone has their own personal rules for interpreting online reviews and scores. Some ignore 0 and 5 stars and go for the median, for instance. Personally? I don't trust positive reviews due to astroturfing. I don't trust all negative reviews because I have had experience in customer service in the...

SBD: from memory (albeit a long one for me), the hard surface area can accommodate 4 courts side by side.

When I was doing Henley Beach runs on the Adelaide Metro, I probably picked up one person per year at that first stop on Currie St. With that building up the drivers will now get swamped!

I’m so bored of this lot screeching “...but LIGHT’S VISION!” every time anything north of North Terrace is proposed as if he was Jesus walking and every stroke of his 1836 quill is sacrosanct. When I took my mrs to Adelaide for a visit I took her to Light's Vision. Apparently in the time I have bee...

EVERYTHING on the northern side of North Terrace is in the Park Lands.

Even Tokyo?

From the info I posted above, make of it what you will. The loan from SAFA of up to $42m will be provided at a standard market rate on a 30-year principal and interest arrangement. As the landlord, the State Government has provided the necessary works approval following consideration by Cabinet. 30...
