Flinders Uni would be the ideal anchor tenant for this building. It gives them the City/North Tce exposure to compete with Adelaide Uni & Uni SA. With the train station adjacent plus the new Flinders line (incl. Tonsley) it’s far easier for staff & students to commute between campuses or jus...

Hopefully they totally refurbish the place including new reclining chairs in the cinemas etc

I can’t see any trees or shade and not sure why hasn’t there been more money/ effort on landscaping. Could be a concrete heat bowl in summer and cold & desolate in winter.

For what it’s worth, Charter Hall (the developer here) do own the Brickworks shopping centre anchored by Woolies... but they also own the massive new Metcash (IGA, Foodland etc) distribution centre at Gepps Cross.

You can see images/info on the new building here -https://www.charterhall.com.au/property ... iam-street

I am also guessing for another say $200m they could totally re-juvenate and increase the capacity of the existing entertainment centre to achieve the 15,000 capacity of this $700m proposal. You could also question why a bigger convention centre wasn't built or at least allowed for as it already appe...

The proposal is for an underground tunnel to connect the two. Aesthetically building over the railway lines makes sense however I am guessing the engineering costs to cantilever it over and sound proof it from the noise/movement below would add significantly/prohibitively to the cost. I am curious a...

I think the Entertainment centre site was mentioned as a possible shopping centre site. Could they even re-purpose/use the existing shell for say a Costco?! lol. I think there is existing underground parking which could stay. Not sure how feasible it would be though. Thoughts?

The Advertiser - Steven Marshall will pledge to build a city arena for concerts and sports to replace the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. A new arena for concerts, sport and major events will be built in the city to replace the Entertainment Centre, the Premier will announce today. Find out where. Th...

I think the preferred option is the rail under but at a whopping $450m (with property resumptions) it seems v. expensive. Even the $300m road bridge is almost double the original $171m budget. Wonder if being in a tight political seat will influence the outcome? “With a margin of 1.3 percent, Boothb...

If they built the Hilton or Intercontinental new today do you think they would build what is there now? ie from 1970s or 1980s architecture? I am comparing this current (1960s?) design against new hotels being built. Generally it is the developer/owner who appoints/chooses who they want to manage th...

While I understand and even agree with this philosophy my point is more the current design of this austere building looks like/should be an office building rather than a new hotel. I doubt its images would look very exciting in marketing to tourists/travellers (unless they want that 1960 -1970s look...

Wondering why they haven’t gone higher here...at least to the same height as the new BHP building next door. Also another new hotel with no balconies for any of the rooms. Even a nice roof deck may have been a compromise. To me it looks more like an office building than a hotel. Hopefully the finish...

I am wondering if there are higher salt/salinity levels in the soil in that area as a reason? I also know much of the land around Buckland Park was/is still used for olive groves [ie 50,000 trees/300 acres Kangaroo Paw Oil, Buckland Park Estate].

The rumour is the West End Brewery site at Thebarton is the Crows/Olsens secret second location for their training/admin facilities (vs Thebarton Oval).
