Demolition has commenced this morning and they're not mucking about. Planet will be unrecognisable by the end of the weekend.

Fantastic series of shots, Andy!

Nightingale Housing has announced Bowden as their first project outside of Victoria. They've won a slew of awards for their sustainable and community-focused housing in Melbourne. Not sure which site they'll be taking on, but the ballot for involvement (as an 'ethical' social/environmental builder, ...

That article is incorrect on one detail: the Publishers Hotel on Franklin St will be demolished and replaced with the new hotel façade. However, the brick warehouse façades down the side streets will be admirably retained. Plans here: https://www.saplanningcommission.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file...

Thanks for the shots EBG.

IMO, the nicest of these city fringe devs has been the one at the top of George St, Parkside.

The InDaily article is a little more coherent: https://indaily.com.au/news/2020/10/19/leaked-documents-reveal-south-rd-tunnel-north-south-project-delay-labor/ If it's to be believed, we're on on track to get the reverse of what most expected: a tunnel from Tonsley to Anzac, and lowered/at-grade hybr...

I think if they're rebuilding in the city, it should be a competition-grade facility (50 m pool, diving etc). I like the idea of an aquatic sports centre, though I'd situate it west of Morphett St bridge next to the river so rowing can be integrated. To tie in with BioMed City precinct, it could hav...

Despite being promised for release nearly a year ago, and despite council purchasing the site 3 years ago to 'end the delays', plans will now not be shown to the public until next year. Article at InDaily:
'After 30 years, a longer wait to see plans for vacant Le Cornu site'

The Endota Spa is already open on level 1 of ACP. It's been there since they closed on Rundle Street (which has remained vacant but for a current popup box office for the Adelaide Film Festival). That hoarding is just the vacancy where L'Occitane closed.

Creating a new thread for Kent Town, Norwood etc as there's an increasing number of low-rise residential coming through that don't really warrant their own threads but otherwise go missing. Mods, feel free to rename or consolidate elsewhere if you have other ideas. One such development caught me by ...

With the townhouses nearing completion, they've started doing a marketing push on the apartments for this project.

The minister refused today to intervene in the provisional listing of the Sands & McDougall building, meaning it will most likely accede to state heritage and be protected from demolition. Article from InDaily here: 'Minister tells developer: hands off threatened art deco building' I'd like to think...

What surprises me is that they talk that [macro] beer sales have been declining 20% over the last decade, but it was only 5 years ago they opened the expansion to the brewery with an increase in production. Something doesn't add up there. Not sure who could possibly take over the site — the only br...

Last drinks at West End with the brewery closing down: 'End of the West End: brewery to be closed as Lion quits SA', as reported by InDaily The brand will be retained but brewed interstate, which is an absolutely stupid decision as the only reason to drink the red tins is because it's local. But for...

InDaily has picked up on Ben's demolition news. Article here: 'The music is over as John Reynolds makes way for residential towers' The only new information is that this will apparently be a staged development. Here's the most relevant bits: Luk Investments was behind the $70 million Central Adelai...
