News & Discussion: Low/Mid-Rise CBD Development

[Jaymz]

Proposal for the vacant block at 76 South Tce: "Construct ten level mixed use building comprising of nine apartments and office at ground level." South Tce is really getting a nice level of density now, will be good to see East Tce follow suit.

Still not really there though. I had considered buying a place on South Tce last year but decided against it because of how far it was away from everything. I can't imagine having to walk from that spot all the way to Rundle Mall for the nearest full supermarket and general retail. Suppose things should be better when Market Square is done unless they end up putting a small hipster supermarket in there instead of a replacement to the Coles we lost.

Well you don't have to walk, just catch the tram straight to Rundle Mall.

It was closer to West Tce so it was a decent walk to the tram as well. That south west corner is a real dead zone of the CBD.

There really should be a supermarket every 500 metres in Adelaide city (ie the square mile). Unfortunately at the present time this can not be justified because the population density is too low.....and people will not move into the city if local services aren't convenient. Chicken and the egg argument....

Having said that Hurtle Square is surely leading the way with its increased density and that should attract the attention of the supermarkets.

Enough of the townhouse/2 storey apartments...they should be out in the suburbs. The city should feel like a city!

why should it feel like a city? the population is very small here

its not too much trouble to drive to a nearby suburban supermarket, there are many in the area

Expecting people living in the CBD, to drive to the suburbs to shop, is absurd.

Although not a mandatory requirement, but one of the reasonable expectations of living in the CBD is that you don't have a car and engage in an active lifestyle utilising public transport, walking or cycling to get to and from places in nearby proximity. Car ownership and living in the CBD should not be mutually exclusive and ideally, discouraged.

Proposal for the current open air car-park on Gray Street:

Construct 9 level mixed use building consisting of shops at ground level, car parking on levels 1 to 4 and offices on levels 5 to 8

Is this behind Marcelina's? Sad that half the levels are car parking.

Sorry - should've made that clearer, it's the carpark closer to North Tce on the corner with Rose St.

There are two IGA's on Hutt Street, at least one of them is within 10 Min walk from Hurtle square...

Longer term it's going to be seen whether Pulteney Street will divert some demand from Hutt Street and become more noticeable and known.

Unfortunately the CBD IGAs (Gilbert, Hutt x2, Frankin) are more like boutique convenience stores than affordable and well-stocked supermarkets.

Would love to see an Aldi in the southern CBD. For now, a trip to Colesworth in the Mall is sufficing.

I'd like to see one of the Woolworths Metro style stores that they have in the eastern states operating in the southern part of the CBD.

I'm pretty sure the size of those are comparable to the IGA that just opened.
