Thanks for the news re demolition.

I am kinda pleased as it shows some level of commitment - as long as the buildings are demolished and the site stays empty for years.

It is such a prime site so room for optimism

Photo from Sunday - will be quite a shopping centre / destination when finished.

The core is still creeping up.

I really hope this goes through.

That area of the CBD is so underdeveloped, and the neglect of the heritage Newmarket hotel is really disappointing. That whole quadrant is really in need of development to bring people and life into that part of the city. Here's hoping.

There has been a small rise of the western core yesterday - probably close to full height. A couple of shots from yesterday, including a close up of the north face with window framing.

A lot busier than a fortnight ago

A photo from yesterday

I really hope this goes ahead - a new tallest with a decent design - reminds me a bit of the Rialto Tower in the olden days, when it really stood out on the Melbourne skyline.

There is a climbing collar on the crane now - maybe a crane rise over the weekend?

From yesterday at Lefevere Tce - as a Fiji Airline plane was landing

Some photos from yesterday including the first windows going in.
