Report :

Eight storey green office plan
Louise Russell
04Sep07

PLANS for a $20 million green office block on the corner of Gouger St and West Tce have been lodged with the City Council.

The eight-storey building would have a glass facade for Parklands' views and a series of ``artistically random'' shades to keep the building cool and to maximise natural light.

``Nothing like this has been done in Adelaide before,'' architect Paul Pruszinski said. Underneath would be a First Choice bottleshop alongside other retail, replacing the existing Liquorland outlet. Upper floors would be a mix of office space and parking.

``West Tce hasn't seen a lot of development in the last few years,'' Mr Pruszinski said. ``Hopefully (this) will bring West Tce up to a new level.''

Lord Mayor Michael Harbison, intent on selling the city during an election, described the the area as the ``undiscovered terrace''.

``West Tce is a great opportunity it has fantastic Parklands' views,'' he said.

It looks great IMO, and will look a lot better than the current site. Now we need to get rid of the remaining car yards along West Terrace and replace them with buildings like that.

[Will]

It looks as though this building has already found a tenant; the Police credit union.

[crawf]

wow that was quick

good too see some decent developments in that part town, especially on the western end of Gouger Street.

yeh lol or there wil be trouble. You're German norm...that would be like committing treason

[Norman]

The BMW showroom is a Car Showroom, not a Car Yard like CMI

[bmw boy]

haha well said.

But I dont think is actually going to rid west tce of CMI used is it? Because next to Liquorland are 2 small vacant blocks and a small area of CMI used.. then there is a road... then across from it is the majority of the car yard (which you can still see the toyota sign in the render) unfortunately.

[Cruise]

Perfect height for the site.

And i want to see ALL car yards/showrooms/dealerships or whatever the hell you want to call them out of the city.

[crawf]

I would like to see car showrooms, with excellent design stay in the city

But I want car yards out and other showrooms (such as Dreamland on Grote Street) out of the city!

Wasn't there some proposal for the Truscotts site some time ago? I can't remember what the proposal was though, some one refresh my memory unless I am imagining things.

I agree there 100%

[Pistol]

I really like this building. West Tce has been neglected for so long.

Isn't Truscotts that building with the carpark above? Yeah that thing is a piece of shit.

Yes it is, i drove past it last night and thought the exact same thing.

Anyone know what's happening at the Just Kidding site? Potential redevelopment area!
