I slightly prefer the older design because the new one has a bit too much vertical symmetry for my taste. It's still the pick of the 100m+ developments in Adelaide. Also a relief that the revised materials wasn't for cost cutting.
Do you honestly believe the developer would come out and say they are changing the design to save costs??? Surely it is a lot easier and face saving to blame it on the wind but why now? The redesign to 40 storeys went through in 2016 and they would have needed to assess wind loads etc as part of that process so it sounds like a BS excuse to me and cutting costs will be the main driver here.
If it's cost cutting then I wish it to be the new standard for cost cutting. 223 north terrace around the corner, they just decided at the last second not to attach the bloody facade and just painted the concrete poo brown to match the john martins car park. That's cost cutting.

It might only be recently-announced, but presumably the new design has been around for a while - the "new" render does not have tramlines or the Urbanest building.

They likely just opened up an existing file, edited it to remove those gold pieces, rendered it, and released the image.

100% agree with this. Adding tram lines to the render would be a waste of time as it wouldn't be used for advertising material.

To my untrained eye, all I can see is that somebody removed some of the triangles. I can only see one person who might be slightly offended by this...

I hung around this one like a blowfly at 11:40 today. Lots of noise coming from inside the construction and when I move to in front of the main entrance I saw a bunch of workers taking down the scaffolding. The photo is good enough that you can download it and zoom in and you can see the workers removing it. Also off on the left side are concrete stairs and walkway, this is about 1/2 the height of the heritage facade that it is behind. The long distance shot was taken from a similar place to the last time I took photos so you can see the rear. This was from the level 6 of car.

I was talking to a guy who is operating the concrete pump on the core, he was saying another pour will start later this week.

Wow, so that is the 4th floor?? front half already done?? there was just reinforcement and stuff there last night. I see they are busy at the back portion where the ramp up to that level will be. So pouring the core tomorrow or have they already started that? are you able to see the back section where the pump from, from your building?

I am right that is the 4th?

Thanks whatstheirname! great updates and views
