No appetite for high rise apartment living amongst South Australian retirees.

Well I'll be. Didn't see that one coming.

I saw a segment on the news saying there were lots of retirees lining up to get a place, along with other apartments in the CBD.
It could have been marketing spin though.

Images are from their Martin Place, Sydney store — which the article says the Rundle Mall store will be based on.

Any floor plans? I'm not sure how it will work in that space.

Now Toys R Us are on their last legs - closing completely in the UK and all but closing int the US Toys R Us went bust because it was taken private using debt. Simplistically, the investors spent bought Toys R Us for $9.6 billion, but only put in $1.7 billion of their own cash. The rest was debt. A...

I don't recall TTP ever having 2 Coles. The Bi-Lo at TTP never rebranded prior to it becoming Harris Scarfe. Oh yes that is true. It did remain as one of the only bilo's but all stock was Coles branded. My nearest major shopping centre is Hyperdome. It has a Coles, a Woolworths, an Aldi, and until ...

I have heard many people over the years complain about lack of decent business accomodation north of the city.
This will only increase with the new business park.

I love the number of times I have heard people say "Oh I don't know why they would be doing this work over Christmas." when it's a longer than 12-month project, so regardless of when they start, it would always impact on a Christmas period. Also, they are not adding parking. There may be a...

Agriculture Minister Leon Bignell said the Northern Adelaide Plains region was ripe for growth. It is ripe for growth if you stop building on the little arable land we have. Vertical Farming with Aquaponics will be the future so that won't be an issue. For the types of things grown out at Virginia....

Hoyts at TTP is horrible. Glad they are redoing that section and cinemas. Horrible is putting it nicely - it is a disgrace, especially the original 6 cinemas, where the challenge is finding a seat that isn't in a state of disrepair. It's amazing how quickly the cinema gets trashed. I remember going...

I am usually one not to be negative, but considering how this project has gone over the years, I will believe it when they break ground.

Being 1st April, I thought it was a prank at first until I found this thread.

I note on the second to last page of that report, it shows an underground "tunnel services building" http://www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au/__d ... pdate_.pdf
