Lockheed Martin opened up its new building late last year.
Raytheon is building a new purpose built building at Mawson Lakes.
Naval Group is retrofitting the Port Adelaide TAFE.
Imagine if those three big players set up in LOT 14 alone. Between the, there would be over 1000 highly paid, well educated employees.
Opportunity lost...

Cant have everyone focused in the CBD. Port Adelaide badly needs a higher skills base of jobs to broaden the demographic of the area. Mawson Lakes likewise so it doesn't become just another suburban wasteland. The most vibrant cities of the world like Berlin etc are multi centered with high and low skilled industries scattered in multiple hubs.

I agree with Claybro.
Rev had a long list of Silicon Valley companies, but they aren't all centred in one small block of low-rise buildings.

I see more value in Adelaide becoming like "Silicon Valley" if the entire urban area is high-tech. Why have 1000 highly paid, well educated employees sharing one or two lunch cafes when there could be 10,000 or 100,000 scattered across the entire metro area, including Tonsley, Mawson Lakes, Osborne, Lot 14, Edinburgh, Thebarton, several university precincts.

Lot 14 is not a spot for headquarters of large companies, it is (or should be) an incubator for entrepreneurs and small start-ups with novel ideas. The goal would be to become large enough you need to move out.

Well of course they aren't centred in a block of buildings but spread out over a sizeable area, Google alone takes up a shit load of room out there.
But we have to start somewhere don't we? Our national space agency is headquartered there, why not have as many space tech firms & startups headquartered there as well?

Yes, Lot 14 seems to be shaping up as the Space precinct, and it is a good spot for high-tech startup, but we need to think about the entire city as being high tech, rather than saying it only happens there. Lot 14 as an incubator, not a destination.

Govt seeks leader to deliver Lot Fourteen's Aboriginal cultural centre

The State Government is advertising for a director to deliver the $150 million Aboriginal art and culture gallery planned for Lot Fourteen – before cabinet ministers sign off on an overdue business case outlining the centre’s viability.


A render of the Marshall Government's proposed "National Aboriginal Art and Culture Gallery" at Lot Fourteen.
Renewal SA – the government agency in charge of transforming the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site into Lot Fourteen – has begun searching for a “project and program director” to lead the construction and planning of the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre ahead of its anticipated opening in 2023.

According to the job description, the director would be tasked with “the delivery of a world-class cultural facility” that would “respect, acknowledge and celebrate Aboriginal stories through truth-telling of the old in new unique ways”.
