Quick shot from Franklin St earlier today.

The architecture is very basic but nothing unusual for another 17/18 storey 'Adelaide special' apartment building, especially one not in a 'premier' location. However the proximity for a residential building is ridiculous. Many years ago I worked in the Conservatory on Hindmarsh and it was not unusu...

Congrats to indaily for doing their best impression of AdelaideNow trying to stir up the crazies. Including a photo of the 1914 (but not heritage listed and unused) bar and calling it 'the site' isn't designed to be provocative at all. Classic, look at us replacing this cute little pub with a monstr...

Early evening pics from 17 Sep 2023.

Nice shot. Imagine that view if the dome had been finished atop Parliament House!

Access is direct from North Terrace and also direct from the Myer Centre car park. Used to be state govt (and some small fed govt) back in the day, including at one point the Premier's office (in the Olsen era). Following them, Adelaide Uni took over most of the building (with potentially I think s...

Speaking of the Myer Centre clock tower, ever since that building has been built I have wondered what was in that office space that's next to the clock tower and how to access it. Access is direct from North Terrace and also direct from the Myer Centre car park. Used to be state govt (and some smal...

Update from 17 June 2023

Tough call. It looks terrible, but given how narrow it is the concrete walls on east and west are a given. Ultimately I would expect it wouldn't stand out so much but that's likely many, many decades away. Obviously development has to start somewhere but there's already plenty of similar height buil...

Plans for a 17-storey hotel development in the CBD have been shelved, with the developer looking to offload the site after a series of delays. The Hotel on Wright Street project, near the north-eastern corner of Whitmore Square, secured planning approval in 2020, and was to include a $10.9m tower w...

Broadly speaking in most cases it looks like some decent improvements. The extra off-ramps after Gallipoli Underpass should relief some pressure there traffic wise and also build in some redundancy in case of accidents or blockages of any sort. Also makes sense given the future plans for more access...

Finally got to post about this, after a very challenging 5-year journey! Screenshot 2022-10-06 103149.jpg Thanks for all your info and corrections over those 5-years. I just looked back through the first few pages on this development and you took some pretty heavy blows from cynical and/or disbelie...
