What's happening here?

The iconic Enigma Bar site on Hindley Street looks set to be transformed into high-rise accommodation after being listed for sale with price hopes of more than $10m.

An international hotel chain, government and private developers are among the “genuine inquiries’’ for the Manera Building at 165-177 Hindley Street, said Adelaide Commercial Specialists founding director Michael Conley.

Mr Conley, who has fielded more than 50 inquiries about the property since it hit the market last week, said the site was able to be developed 53m, or about 13 storeys, high.

However, should the buyer put forward a housing proposal that contained 15 per cent affordable housing and ground floor retail space, there was scope under planning regulations to develop even higher, he said.

I'm somewhat surprised that the building isn't heritage given the stone facade. Street level has obviously been butchered a fair bit, but the upper floor is quite nice to look at.

Obviously, the argument that just because it's old, doesn't make it heritage holds true.

Will be interesting to see what's proposed for this site.

Bigger issue here is Jive next door. It should be safe due to the rules the government announced around the Cranker campaign, where a neighbouring residential development is responsible for sound proofing and can't have an existing live music venue shut down for the noise. However that list still hasn't been formalised.

"Sound proof" does not exist.
Renders looks like an office building.
Have I missed something?
