[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

It would be nice to see the old RAH east wing returned to the Botanic Gardens, which was originally proposed for the site.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

The Station Arcade already has a newsagent and a pharmacy (albeit a small one), but I agree that these would be better suited to being inside the main station hall as they'll capture more visitors. On a slightly different topic, the rest of the Station Arcade is terribly daggy and in need of a facel...

I'm a little unclear as to what is going on with this site? Is the tower actually being built, or is this just a stage 1 like a new carpark entrance or something?
New office building is going up. See post #350

Re: 2034 FIFA World Cup, 2026 AFC Womens Cup, 2029 World Club Cup

Germany paid $5.2 billion, in 2010. Brazil paid $19.7 billion in 2014. These are two of the biggest 'soccer' nations on the planet. What's it going to cost Australia & NZ for 2034? We're going to have to come up with some more stadiums. I think the minimum is 40,000 for the regular round, 60,00...

Good riddens, shame the Hilton and it's ugly sister across the road isn't also getting demolished. Great photos btw Slightly off-topic, but it would be great if both the Hilton and Intercontinental underwent some major facelifts. Both are really showing their age these days, especially as modern bu...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade

The 36ers would be mad if they moved their home matches back to Findon. But if they get a very favourable stadium deal, who knows what they might do. The 36ers had record attendances last season at the Entertainment Centre including multiple sell outs. The growth of basketball here and nationwide in...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

It's also worth pointing out just how much growth this area has experienced. When they did the Victor Harbor Road Junction 10ish years ago, the finished works were great and held up capacity! Prior to that, Victor Harbor Road northbound had one lane turning right through a stop sign, into their own...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

I'd say it's more likely that the remaining lines will use hydrogen powered trains in future rather than electrifying the lines.

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

The Hour Glass are hiring for people to start in early 2024. This could be one of their boutiques or a Rolex store as they operate them in Sydney. I’m not sure what’s with the sudden boom in luxury watch stores in Adelaide or whether we have enough demand for 3 new stores (including Tag Heuer). I t...

Re: Commonwealth Games in Adelaide

Athletes don't need a village, they can stay in hotels. Sports competitions don't need spectators, they can watch on TV. Sports events are really cheap to run if all it is is a competition between athletes. Adelaide can host this without spending any money on more infrastructure. It's not going to ...

This future project, and 88 O'Connell, are hopefully the catalyst for a tramline extension to North Adelaide.

Exciting few years ahead for this part of the CBD. Hopefully the planned Travelodge Hotel in nearby Bentham St gets up too.

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line

Demand for housing in the Port Adelaide area is only going to increase as we get closer to construction starting on the new subs. The spur line should further encourage investment nearby.
