not a bad spot. It seems Gouger Street and surronding areas are going to get a fair bit more attention which is a nice addition to the "financial" CBD near waymouth.

Well here’s something a bit unexpected, a funky new mixed use building for 36-48 Wright St. Further details at http://dac.sa.gov.au/

I like it

[metro]

i like because it covers up that blank concrete wall of the mill st carpark, and it looks like a decent design, just needs to be double the height

Facts and figures:
- Site bound by Mill, Wright and Coglin Streets
- 7725 sqm of office space over 9 levels. All levels boast terraces or balconies with landscaping.
- Two retail tenancies on ground, 317sqm and 276sqm.
- Wright Street ground level with good street interaction from retail with the lobby in the middle.
- Coglin St ground level face is retail, plant and service access. Mills Street ground level face is retail, car park ramp and plant room. Not ideal but a good effort given the site.
- External service doors, plant doors, etc, to be decorated
- A small car park in basement for 32 vehicles with a two lane ramp from Mill Street. You would think it'd be cheaper to buy spaces from the Mill Street car park next door rather than dig out a basement.
- 48 bike parks and two showers. Tiny change room.
- Solar hot water supply.

Looks like a high quality design and a good addition to Wright Street.

The empty block next door, behind the courts, that reaches to King William Street. That's crown land, isn't it?

I was having a read of the planning documents, and I am confused, and it appears that the developers too are confused, as they have put in an application to build a 10 level office building, yet the planning report and architectural drawings are for a 9 level office building, and to make things a bit more complicated the wind, traffic and acoustic report are for a 10 level mixed-use office and residential building.

Regardless, it is a very attractive design.

Does this in effect back up to the Coglin st bldg built a couple of years ago - having trouble getting exact location. Looks quite impressive - hope it is 10 rather than 9 floors.

Nice design. I like how each floor steps back as it rises, with the trees. Kind of like a cliff face?

Hello, that's very pleasing indeed. Ten points!

The empty block next door, behind the courts, that reaches to King William Street. That's crown land, isn't it?

I've always assumed so. I'm sure it has been mentioned on here somewhere before.

Yeah that confused me too. Perhaps the basement carparking is counted as a level?

That was my understanding as well. I vaguely recollect a rumour that the site was flagged for a future tallie which would be part of the adjacent 'legal precinct' in some way - which would explain why the block is always kept in such a shitty state (nothing of value for the nimby's to get upset about in the future)

that little peice of land is a park i'm sure I've read something about the lawyers complaing how crap it is.

or perhaps it's privately owened and the lawyers complaining how crap it is.
