The only hotel operators that should be shitting themselves are those with a 20+ year old product that they never bothered to refresh.

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
Harris Scarfe has gone broke about 5 time in my life. The shocking thing is that someone always comes and rescues this loser company.

People are just setting the bar low and hoping to be surprised in the opposite direction for a change, rather than next door's glossy render that turned out being the hottest thing out of 1960s Bucharestgnrc_louis wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 9:57 pmTrying to stay optimistic.

[U/C] Re: Penny Place | 78m | 24 levels | Apartments
I wonder, with only 50% sold, if saying they're 'breaking ground' is just a psychological trick to lock in more buyers or if they've got enough capital to launch speculatively? This is funded out of Kerry Stokes' pocket. No bank is involved to stipulate a minimum number of presales. You're right th...

Just quietly, thank fkn chrst the State Bank/State Debt/Santos/Westpac/isosceles bloody triangle isn't the tallest anymore. It's like the bloody 30 year old who never moved out and playing master of puppets every day to remind you he's still there

Why do people make such strange (negative) assumptions? Simply put, the buyer of an apartment which is significant % of our total build cost asks for something, yeah you try to do it!

If this goes ahead, it’ll be the third recent student accomodation to be built over 100m (along with Twin St and the other North Tce one). Wonder when the market reaches saturation point. I wonder how easy it is to reconfigure "student accommodation" to anything else when the market moves to requir...

In the same way Berlin would have that venetian look, if the concrete were "sand stone" colour, instead of "pigeon shit grey"

[U/C] Re: 11 Frome Street | 135m | 37 Levels | Crowne Plaza / Adelaidean | New tallest
Does anyone know what floor level the building is currently at? The concrete core appears to have topped out. I know there is discussion about this on earlier pages suggesting the core would be reconfigured and continue upwards, but this doesn't appear to be happening on site. Surely the highest po...

My own photograph from today: https://i.imgur.com/9l4ZrrP.jpg In the future do we get the Twin St tower sneaking in that shot? That and the commie block on North Terrace (next to realm) will have that corner vying for the mantle of "centre" of the CBD. Wow. Who would have seen that 15 years ago

The "sandstone" ends up being poured in 172 different shades of grey at Adelaide "give a fuck" Brightons and looks like a lego model of Vienna's Haus des Meeres.

In a way it reminds me of Velasca Tower in Milan
Yes, because they are both fugly
You really need to be standing on a rooftop somewhere to fully appreciate its ugliness, whereas this one you can take in from the street. Now that's service!

Re: News & Discussion: Low/Mid-Rise CBD Development
I think this building was originally designed to be about 9 stories but was cut back simply to get planning approval. A couple of other buildings in this area have added extra floors since being built. The Adelaide Riviera was am abandoned office building before having 2 floors added and being conv...
