The building on the corner of Franklin and Bentham Streets is heritage listed. The buildings that will be demolished are closer to KWS. The buildings are a a collection of 1960's style low-rise buildings.

It will be built on this carpark and surrounding buildings, yes?

No, it will be built to the left of that photo.

The site featured in your phhoto is reserved for the proposed hotel.

I thought the hotel was going behind the GPO and next to the Electra House..

And that's a photo of the back of the GPO complex.

Demolition for CC3 has begun! Excavators and bins on site today, bye bye to those crappy old retail outlets!

Starting to get excited by this one now, only demolition though I suppose at this stage. First pic is from Saturday 16/12 and the others are from today. So glad to see some of the worst buildings in Adelaide being domolished. Some nice views have been created as a result too, particularly of CC1. Big antenna structure being taken down by that temp crane too. It's all happening at City Central

Adelaide feels like a different city to live in at the moment, really alive, development everywhere. Makes a nice change after so long and with the tramline extension next year and all the development that buzz around the city should continue.

Sat 16/12

The snack bar on the corner had the best hot chips in Adelaide.

Thanks for all the photographic updates UrbanSG!

Good to see that those ugly shops are no more. However I should advise everyone that this demolition does not represent work actually starting on CCT3. According to the developers CCT3 will be ready in 2009-10, so the most likely explanation is that the site will be used as a car-park for a couple of years.

thanks urban sg

Franklin Street is going to be pumping in a few years time

though i wish they would replace those stobie poles

I think I may have stumbled accross a new render of CC3 and not sure if i like it. It's same theme as CC1 & CC2 however is a bit more random and includes orangy/brown features.

When they said all buildings on this block were going to be green I didn't think they meant literally. I guess it will be a bit unique to have a whole city block decked out in the same colours / patterns.

I don't think that's CC3, I'm 90% sure that's the GPO development.

The renders I've seen for CC3 (like a month ago) looked nothing like that.

It could be but it's one of the two because it's on the corner by the looks of it. I wouldn't have thought the post office though and I hope not because that sitting on top of it would look ridiculous and would not mix with the heritage building at all.

Spoke to someone today behind this development who will be sending me more renders and info but said it is due for completion in 2008 and take just over 12 months so should commence soon. She also said the private investment of CC3 has been finalised and no more capital needs to be raised...
