I think that's the Forme Projects building in the lower right corner?

The tower crane at Surflen St came down on Saturday 29 Oct 2016. Picture Sunday 30 Oct 2016. This crane could move to Forme apartments project on East side of Hurtle Square?

Another new small aparment project on south Tce. 7 stories at 252 South Tce almost in line with Glen Osmond Rd, sign is in place in front of some nondescript 2 story building.

The basement at St Andrews hospital site is now down to 3 basement levels. the service core is located in the southwest corner. the wires sticking out of the walls form wall anchors. A small core is drilled almost horizontally (at a slight downwards angle)into the soil and filled with concrete and several wire strands. once the concrete has set (after a week or 2 ) the strands are pulled tight using a hydraulic jack and locked in tension permanently. ie Post tensioned. This has the effect of pulling the wall towards the soil behind.

The Frome Street Grant Thornton building looks almost complete.

[Ben]

The biggest disappointment with this building is there doesn't appear to be any street activation at all.

Maybe the council could underground those power lines now. :/

FWIU the entire ground floor is to be open plan reception and client meeting area for Grant Thornton.

From the City Messenger:

174-180 Wright St, Adelaide

Hotel Ivaritji would be the Adelaide CBD's first eco-hotel, overlooking Whitmore Square.

First revealed by The Advertiser in November, the $11 million development would be clad to resemble the fur skin cloak of the revered Kaurna ancestor Ivaritji.

Troppo Architects director Phil Harris would form a co-operative with friends to build, own and run the nine-storey hotel.

Adelaide City Council has opposed the project because it requires the demolition of two local heritage-listed, 1895 villas, now used as offices.

The hotel would be split into two towers. A cafe at the base would double as a check-in desk for the 23 suites.

There would be no airconditioning apart from an evaporative system in the cafe to save power.

An array of solar panels, green walls and an "edible" rooftop garden would be among the other environmental features.

A rooftop function space would be planted with citrus and olives while art shows would be held in the cellar.

The fitout of the suites would feature recycled materials and possibly an Aboriginal art theme.

The development would also include a three-storey building facing the square for a business with a "shop top" apartment, and townhouses behind the hotel.

Some precast concrete wall panels have been erected on the Forme project on the corner of Hurtle Squ East and Halifax St. No sign of any tower crane(?)

This is next to the current 7 level job under construction. This site is the tiny double story block next door. Disappointing it could not have been incorporated.
