Such a funny paradox of land uses. Land values are obviously high enough to justify a multi level car park here, but literally just across the road you have ttp, which is surrounded by acres of open air parking.

The development at the hospital is of cancer and mental health facilities https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/ ... evelopment. Included in this is also a 300 space multi-storey carpark for staff and some patient access.

The TTP carpark is for the shopping complex and last year parking restrictions were imposed to deter long stay park n ride with the adjacent OBahn. OBahn related carparks have been constructed in recent years.

I know, my point was more that land values and the space premium here are obviously at a point where multi-level parking is justified, hence the construction of the multi level parking at the hospital and also at the park and ride. Yet Westfield owns acres of land in the same location which is massively under-utilised relative to its value - open air parking.

Crane going up at 12 Halifax St today

i just happened to be passing by when they were lifting the luffing beam into place yesterday.

Now fully assembled

The (eastern) crane in Grote St nearest the Hilton has gained height in the last 2 days.

Isn't this site 15-19 Halifax St? Cafe #12 seems to be thriving across the road.

Wasn't the jib lifted into place on Saturday? When I left after 7pm, the weight of the jib was transferred to 2 thick wire stays to the top of the A-frame, which allowed the telescopic crane to detach from the jib and retract.

I assume part of the work on Sunday was to couple the pair of rod stay assemblies on the jib to the luffing pulley sheaves which had been attached on Saturday to the apex of the A-frame. On Sunday at 4pm, the mobile crane had disappeared and Halifax St was opened to westbound traffic.

Yes it is 15-19 Halifax St and yes it was Saturday afternoon (actual time on picture was 2025 0322 18:46 pm). I was going to check up but was too lazy.

the western crane in Gouger St has also gained height recently

Surprising crane at st aloysious. It’s only a 5 level project so I wasn’t expecting it.

We’re very close to our all time record number of cranes. With this, 399 kin William, the unley road project and corner of angas and frome we will probably exceed it in coming months.
