[APP] Re: 22 Colley Terrace, Glenelg | 38m | 11 Levels | Apartments

Yep, agree with the sentiment here. Such a waste of a prime site. I've said it before i'm surprised there aren't more apartments built at Glenelg as they always sell like hot cakes. I imagine the issue is sites don't become available that often.

Re: The Housing Crisis

I really do find this continual price rise over the past 20+ years as perplexing. I mean, I do understand the factors at play........ but I would always think that house prices would plateau at the point where the general population can no longer afford to pay more, but this simply hasn't been the c...

Let's hope this one does get going again on Monday. It was moving along at a cracking fast pace before the Christmas break.

Re: The Housing Crisis

To me, the biggest mistake ever made was the introduction of negative gearing tax laws during the 80's. To turn a necessity like housing into an investment strategy was dire. I do believe Paul Keating tried to reverse it soon after it was introduced but then back-tracked on that almost immediately. ...

Have to say the new RAA sign on the former Santos/Westpac building looks excellent, especially good at night time when flying into Adelaide 8)

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

From a couple random articles i've read over recent years, modern aircraft are much less disruptive to residents living close to airports..... as in, they are able to ascend and descend at steeper angles compared to older planes. I'm sure the engines are probably quieter also. So what i'm trying to ...

I think this looks amazing, but share the same skepticism as most on here. Would love to be proven wrong of course.

That tower 3 looks excellent, be nice if we could have something like that as an office building in the core CBD.

For fucks sake, there’s a 12 storey building next to it. This sort of density is perfect for Glenelg, what on earth is the chief government architect on about. I dare say, this was a case of 'where does the higher density in Glenelg stop'... Build this, and within ten years that entire stretch of b...
