Development was approved on Monday by ACC DAP but not without wretched ill considered comments by a certain councillor! who tried to kill the project.

Thank god for people with vision and intelligence on the panel.

Close call though Adelaide.

Architect is JPE Design Studio who are also doing CML Hotel of jewel box fame.

Owner operated at this stage.

Renders going to ACC soon.

Yes It's all go at present. Not Rydges now.
Let's hope this time it really happens and gives this grand old building a respected new life.
Work should start in the new year.
Shards are gone.

Thank you for you incredibly positive comments!

We are now into some amazing projects both here and overseas, which build from this one example.

Thank you.

Project on the move again, Bigger and even better.

More soon.

JPE are having their launch of the new JPE on Thursday night with around 350 guests in a marquee atop the Satisfac Carpark, overlooking 3 of their most significant projects: Hills HQ $110m Under construction (Despite the rumors) Due for completion Dec 2009 Wave Apartments and Offices $30m Under cons...

Just wait a few more days, and this one will become very clear!

Believe it or not Wave and Edge are actually being built and are due for completion in October and September respectively next year.
JPE are moving into the Wave and taking around 1 1/2 floors. An high class Italian restaurant is planned for the ground floor.

Word is Kerry Stokes has bought it? So what does this mean?

This 4 star hotel is being created to suit the Rydges CML Brand This project is now well under way with Marshall and Brougham as Managing Contractors. Internal demolition has almost been completed and new works should start in September 2008. This is another design by JPE. Watch out for our new webs...

You crane people should really get out and about a bit. The hammerhead for Wave and Edge is already in place and the special hammerhead for Hills is due in next few weeks.It has to fit below Adelaide Airport height limits! Let's not go into the intricacies of that in Adelaide! It's worth a whole web...

I agree this is a fine building
Let's hope the design integrity can be maintained through the construction phase. All eyes on ACC!

Hopefully this project will get going properly as are the Wave, Edge and Hills nearby. We all need this Southern Precinct to further develop and add to the Southern Adelaide City Environment. Plans for the Tower behind the Brecknock are still 18 months away. But they are very likely to happen.

This really is a mystery site. I hope it happens soon but this is a very strange way to build such a building.
A couple of large committed tenants could make a difference!!
