Does any proposal scream generic 2000s more than that? Anyway, it will be interesting to see what unfolds here. For all the development going on at the fringe of the CBD, I'd like to see a bit more happening in the core area which has remained fairly stagnant from a high rise perspective. Hopefully ...

I was going to wait until piling commences on Realm Adelaide so I could turn it grey before posting an update, but since we've had a few new proposals and there's a little bit of interest, here's my update. I can't really compete with Fabrice's professional, realistic looking model, but my model is ...

I'm fairly sure the building to be demolished is that four level cream-coloured brick building at the back. Not sure what else it could be. Here's a couple of screenshots I took from the original Kodo documentation that shows (very) roughly what they have in mind for this site. kodostagetwo2.png kod...

This is an ongoing problem in Adelaide, when linking heritage buildings to new developments. There seems to be still a desire to fill the whole block with a low box shaped building (granted, the façade outcomes seem to be improving). Taller sleeker buildings, set at different angles with public pla...

I don't agree that this and the GPO proposal look similar. Obviously they're both of a similar height with some retail potential at ground level, but that's about the extent of the similarities. While it's subjective to some extent, for starters I prefer the glass of this building to the windowed mo...

Looks pretty nice on the whole. One thing I'm slightly unsure about is the terrace and retail pavilion they're planning on building on the heritage structure. While I do like the idea of that area becoming accessible to the public, I don't think the structure particularly suits the existing building...

Not too shabby. Looks like two slightly bare/poor man's Ibis Hotels separated by a green wall. The green wall helps to break up the bulk of the building fronting Gray Street, which is a good thing. Will look good when the plants are in bloom, although they'll probably use perennials which don't bloo...

Which one is the spire? I can't think of any building in Adelaide which have spires. Not to take this too far off-topic, but Spire was an approximately 100m proposal in Adelaide last decade that never got up, but was to be located on Bentham Street. There's a video of it on YouTube: https://www.you...

Looks like most of the concrete on the northern face has now been installed.

Appreciate the update and for confirming the location. Good to have someone involved in the industry that is willing to post here. Slightly devastated that the name DOMINATOR 1 will be scrapped since it brought me so much amusement, but in all honesty it's a good decision. Looking forward to hopeful...

I wonder if anyone can locate any pictures of this mysterious cinema? Obviously it existed but it would be interesting to see some photos. A quick search on the Internet suggests it was a venue for the 1978 and 1979 Adelaide International Film Festivals, but that's about all I could find. My interes...

A few more from this morning. Looks like they've installed another level of that louvred ventilation filter since EBG's photo. The northern wall looks pretty disappointing at this stage. They should have found a way to use that grey cladding on the edges. Not a huge fan of those two levels that sort...

From today. Noticed that this has a bit of prominence from North Terrace now, so ducked into Adelaide Uni's Napier Plaza to get a good angle. Not particularly pretty, but hey, it matches its neighbour.

Quite pleased with how this has turned out. Only minor complaint would be the windows on the top floor of the southern wall, they look a bit out of place in my opinion.

I would agree with Ben, and to a slightly lesser extent Patrick's sentiments. We have such a huge, relatively underdeveloped CBD. Access to this area should be kept for the people. Another thing; as can be seen in the video in that article, I just don't understand why they're getting rid of the Elea...
