I think this block is wider than the hotel at 50 hindley (corner hindley and bank st), so there's something. 16 stories though. Yikes. Will really give Ayres House that Goulburn Supermax feel.

Also 133 Rundle Mall would be an example of how it can be done without looking positively dire.

Are they actually extending the Obahn, or just painting some red lines on the road and giving buses a 5 second jump on everyone at the stop lights?

The building was 93% sold in December, so basically you and GHS are the only people who care.

I think the colour contrast between the podium levels and rest of the building stops the whole building dominating the street level. Nice building.

Does the Ryugyong Hotel actually look that bad at dusk?

Travelodge Asia is a hotel developer+franchiser, it's normal that it would be on the market as such

Question time. Is this going to be the best development this city has ever seen?

Ever - no.

Since the CML building, possibly.

The building isn't worthy to be kept, but worthy of being commemorated with a plaque? :applause: On the plus side, it will have some comedy value. Like the plaque I saw on a wall in this little village on the border with Austria yesterday. It was commemorating the fact that "it is possible" that a f...

Photo on Bigfooty forum from March 2 https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/football-park-discussion.904029/post-59714287 I'm surprised as I thought they were retaining the old members. Getting my wires crossed somewhere I suppose. Sad to see it gone. Spent a chunk of my youth going mental at that p...

You're right that it's where the logo goes, but they have still screwed up according to render.

I can imagine there may be some situations where protrusions may be undesirable. For instance, I don't like the metallic thing that solely sticks out from the Bendigo & Adelaide Bank on Grenfell Street. But I'm not sure the aim of enforcing a 'city wall' effect throughout the whole of the city is i...

Is that a mistake on the far right side where the panels are not zig zag?

Same mistake I was talking about at the begging of December. It's a pretty epic fuck up.

What did the level 1 balconies overlook "before"? Is this actually an improvement? I think it is a big improvement for them, and will continue to be so assuming the new development attracts people and the place actually thrives rather than become a ghost town. Below are 2 images taken from Google M...

At the panel meeting last night, Cr Anne Moran, who had reported the illegal use of the land to staff, said such carparks were “licences to print money”. “That’s why they are so dangerous and so attractive to developers,” she said. “It is something that we, the council, … really discourages because...
