I can’t believe that in a master plan of three towers, they are just going to sandwich them al...

I think a big issue is the Australian mindset of a big house. So many people saying they can’t afford a house and are having to look out to the outer suburbs when there are units and apartments closer to the city that are much more affordable. We as young people, do we really need a four bedroom hou...

I feel like a second city would be a good idea to release pressure off of Adelaide but is Murray Bridge the right location, I don’t think so. I feel like they should develop the Copper Triangle, joining Karina, Wallaroo and Monta into a second city. This area has access to the sea and the land betwe...

Now on to the more important stuff: we just got back from taking the architects and the directors on a study tour of London and Edinburgh. We visited: Hotels: 1) The Savoy Hotel 2) The W London (Marriott) 3) The Westin London (Marriott) 4) The Londoner 5) The Edition Hotel 6) The Adelphi and stuck ...

Yep it's a common request/concept but when you look into the economics/business case then what you really want to do with an observation deck is get people up, wow them with something different, keep them long enough to feel like the juice was worth the squeeze, have them purchase a memento and get...

The economic response is that our cost per m2 is significantly higher so it doesn't make sense to compete with providers in the area who have a lower cost base. Music to my ears! I have had awful experiences in observation deck restaurants and it's almost certainly because all the money went into p...

I think this is just a new entrance for the car park.

Yes this will be the entrance for the carpark. I assume they are building it first so the carpark can stay open while they build the rest of the tower on top.

I think it will be extremely disappointing if this doesn't go ahead. The price tag of 500-600 million seems appropriate. If we look at other museums/ galleries around the world the costs align pretty well and if we want this to be an "Adelaide Icon" or a reason for people to come visit Ade...

The trouble is that the APPA and the like see everything as development - paths, lighting, changing rooms, kiosks, grounds maintenance sheds etc (i.e. the very things that give people a reason to visit the parklands). Even drainage infrastructure and railway lines which have existed for 150 years a...

I'd make Rundle Street a one way 25kph single lane road with a few 10 min loading zones for businesses that need vehicle access for deliveries and the like, with that lane closed off in evenings and for occasions. Probably just between Frome St and East Terrace at least to start. Same for Hindley S...

That said, I don't understand why there is not more consideration of building over the top of the rail lines, like they did for the Convention Centre, or using the triangle shaped island of land between the rail lines at the junction. That triangle is a large area of prime land in the middle of the...

They should close part of street off to cars in evenings especially in summer. Completely agree. They should shut off the entire length of rundle street as a continuation of the mall. This pedestrian boulevard could extend all the way through the parklands to Dequetteville Terrace and this area cou...

Carla Zampatti now open on Rundle Street. Assembly Label and Viktoria Woode to still open. Other high street brands which would be great to add would be Venroy, Bassike, Bec and Bridge, Husk, Camilla and Marc Rundle St soon will be like our own James Street in Fortitude (Bris) or Oxford Street in P...

When you check out their website it’s writing in a way that seems like this is $1 billion is just for upgrades, on top of the $433 million to make public transport free.

I heard that uniclo was taking pretty much the entire “lush” side of the myer centre including that sides main entrance into the center plus the rebel upstairs
