Re: #U/C: Darwin Waterfront Redevelopment

Ahh yes, heard them all. There is a Dick Ward Drive running through Fannie Bay and many years ago I frequented two nightclubs, one called Fannies and the other called Dix!

[U/C] Re: #Proposed: 88 O'Connell St (Le Cornu Site) - 6 lvls

Re: Article: Rann's Hospital vs MHS Entertainment Precinct

Is that $1.7 billion at todays money? I believe the original completion date is somewhere around 2016, which would suggest that there would be an incredible blowout by then. Perhaps a final cost of $4.0 billion.

Re: Sheffiled city loft's tower.101m.

It's very slender. Not sure about the appeal for prospective tenants because of the floorplates, unless it's going to be a highrise bowling alley with one lane per floor!
