Great news!

This is exactly the kind of thing the CBD needs.

[[Shuz]]

Great news! Really pleased about this outcome.

Isn't the original cinema space taken up by Globalize and now the Red Cross?.

The concept sounds promising, though I am a little worried that a four-screen cinema will survive in the city considering the already strong competition in the suburbs. Even the Palace Nova is more than double the size.

There is no doubt there is demand for a mainstream cinema in the city, though it needs to have a good variety of movies.

The Ginos Group has proposed splitting two existing cinemas, which currently resemble bare shells, into four state-of-the-art gold-class theatres with a new candy bar.
Each intimate theatre will seat between 40 and 50 patrons and screen the latest Hollywood blockbusters.
Patrons will gain access to the theatre from a repaved and upgraded Arcade Lane, which will feature a new balcony, canopy, landscaping, plus lifts and stairs to take patrons to the first-floor cinemas.

I find it amusing that so many people on AdelaideNow are complaining about the cost of parking. Saying why would anyone pay to park to watch a movie.
I am sure anyone going to Gold Class would not care too much about the cost of parking.

I think this move for a select Gold Class cinema is the way to go. I travel from Modbury, I live next to TTP, to go to Marion for Gold Class.
The city will make it much easier.

The Adelaide Now comments do not surprise me. I read in the recent 5000+ report that Adelaide has the highest number of carparks of any capital city (that is actual not per capita basis). I think the figure was something like 41,000 carpark spaces, the next largest was 29,000ish. Anyway, poor planning has led to Adelaidian's having a small town, drive everywhere mentality, but in a large city. This is clearly not sustainable.

Lots of interior work happening at Fletcher Jones this week - heard rumours about retail/cafe at ground level and office space above.

I can't even remember where Fletcher Jones is/was. Is that on Hindley Street?

[SRW]

It's on the corner of Hindley and Peel streets. IIRC, the Ginos Group, which led the renewal of Leigh Street, has bought up most of Peel Street and is embarking on a similar revival.

Excellent news for an ideal location!
