Anyone know if they used recycled red bricks of the era (ie early-mid 1900s) to look more authentic? Or if they salvaged & re-used the actual red bricks from the building there previously (Balfours etc). I highly doubt they would be recycled bricks. Purchasing recycled bricks are quite pricey $...

Looks to be about 1 floor a week at the moment. Smashing ahead!

That was built in the last 5 years.

I would say the left part of the tower has topped out and the right side will continue up.

No.

Built are the construction company. Hassell are the Architects for the GPO building. Woods Bagot are the Architects for U City.

It must be ready to go anytime now! They wouldn't be advertising 'under construction' as a joke. Here is hoping work begins next Monday!

So any idea on what the outcome of the column issue was Ben or someone? It seems to have just moved on...

Let's just wait and see, no point speculating at this stage and regardless, there is nothing we can do to prevent these changes.

Move on.

If they are continuing building works and workers are on site, there is no way it could be THAT bad.

They were hoping to be by level 6 or something by mid year weren't they?

I guess they could just build the core up to level 6 and say we made it!

Pretty sure there is also a core there.

Part of me thinks this will actually turn out rather nice. The contrast between the black window frames and white walls looks good!

Does anyone have the latest DA submission for this project? Would like to look at the design in more detail.

My thoughts too.

Did you ask what the basement is for? Doesn't look like carparking?
