[COM] Re: #Proposed: City Central Tower 8 17 Levels

Yes but give the magnitude of other office developments happening in the city at the moment, ala 400 KWS, those on Gouger/Coglin Street, Hills Building on KWS, and possible the Currie Street Tower and a few others one would have been mistified as to how they could have expected to secure tenants for...

[U/C] Re: Proposal# 88 O'Connell St - Makris dev. 6 lvl

Yes the design plan that was handed in is at 6 levels One for ground floor and then five floors hence 6 floors the only change is that those fronting the surrounding streets (Not O'Connell) have a level of 4 but move to 6 floors a bit back from the street. In effect it is the same plan with reduced ...

Re: Vacant City Blocks

Well, considering that in Sydney theyre tearing down 100m+ buildings to make way for new towers, and we have vacant blocks here right in the CBD, why not make Adelaide CBD one of those Economic Tax-Free Zones like they have over in the Middle East. Now I know a lot of businesses would jump to the o...

[COM] Re: #Proposed: 413-427 King William St - 13 level

one word SENSATIONAL. will definetly complement 400 KWS and possibly the
other office and appartment developments on the southern part of
KWS. I think this is clear evidence that the CBD's centre will eventually shift
from Grenfell Street to Victoria Square.

Re: Adelaide's Air Quality

probably the KI fire smoke, but the wind conditions which caused that often cause
the city to blanketed with smog in summer etc.

anyway it is ample evidence that we are too car dependant as was the case with
the article last week in saying we are Australia's most car dependant capital city.

[COM] Re: Huge announcement at 10:00 a.m

Would be totally out of the blue if it was anyone but HILLS...

For starters BHP has offices in Grenfell St so they would not be moving
into Adelaide... I reckon it is HILLS and we already know they plan
on moving into a new office building to be built next to the Optus Building
on KWS.
