Oh my god! That is ghastly.

From all accounts this is definitely a real project with traction, and a committed operator who are keen on establishing a wider presence in Australia.

Great idea, great location right near the edge of the city, nice use of the old hotel. Watch the Walkerville Council blow this to pieces. I knew SOMEBODY would bugger this up, at least... Just about the only thing they did not have an issue with was the overall height/number of levels! It seems to ...

I can't remember the last time full bricks (not brick slips) were used in a construction of this scale.

I would expect they will be brick slips as it gets further off the ground.

Really looking forward to seeing this one come together.

That is great news indeed. The application is not on next week's SCAP agenda so assuming it will be January.

The design looks terrific - I just hope it gets built.

No.
It requires notification, referrals, and so on.

My guess is no earlier than a March decision.

Surely the car park could have been either buried or partially buried on its current porposed site or under the hospital itself? An eight storey block takes away from any design merits they are hoping to achieve with the facade of this new hospital…

It is.

These will be clad with brick (or brick slips), so will be concealed.

ANZ moving/moved to 83 Pirie

ANZ signage now up on the column at the entry of 83 Pirie.

The poor state of this building is a legacy of Stephan Knoll. I still have hope for it, but I agree with the sentiments that ACC/State Government should be more aggressive with developers who sit on property and do nothing. You and I cannot purchase a suburban allotment and do nothing with it for y...

I suspect they were clad in asbestos insulation, or something else nasty - hence the big plastic tent used during those works. If you looked close up at the tanks after the tent was removed you could see signs of material having been scraped off of the entire surface of all of them. This is correct...

Lots of activity the last couple of days with piles being excavated and poured.
This one is firing along quite rapidly now!

They are still on site on the vacant piece of land next to West Franklin (behind the Cumby) on Elizabeth Street if you want to have a 1:1 look!

From the approved plans that were public as part of the original consent, the built form is completely separated from the western elevation of the Sir Samuel Way building. There is a pedestrian link ("laneway") that provides connection between Gouger and Grote Streets along the western edg...

Narrow sites (paricularly those with their frontage on an east or west boundary) tend to position their cores to the back. It has a lot to do with site orientation, and where the primary frontage is. Having said that, a squarer footprint will almost always position a core somewhat centrally, especia...

I would imagine most retail outlets would be a mix of luxury / local retail (a mix of Frewville foodland with Burnside). Keep in mind, this isn't a huge arcade in terms of floor area compared to the markets themselves. It will work well. just another shopping mall then... an opportunity lost to bui...
