Site works are about to start on this one.

Sorry to bump... assuming this didn’t happen?

Crane on the way down.

Yes it was a typo. Was in as 83 Pirie last Tuesday.

Mentioned in the Tiser today. On hold due to doubt over return of international students due to covid. “Hope to announce a start date later this year.”

Surely it’s meant to be the old planet site?

Is this still going to be a Sofitel hotel? I notice the signage has been removed for a few months now.

According to their website, yes.

DPTI are also in 50 Flinders St, next to Santos. I'm sure they have about 3 or 4 levels in there.
It's another site not many know about.

Why does DPTI need to move from its current location ?

Read the article.

The tower section of the second crane is complete and a concrete pump has been erected. There has been a significant amount of concrete poured too.

Ahh yep.

Sofitel signage taken off the core today.

Bit strange?

Story online now on the Tiser...

Been a “breakthrough” in negotiations. No second tower.
Amended tower design submitted and to be delivered “as a priority”.

2 more cranes up in April to assist construction of carpark and plaza.

Article in the Tiser today suggests latest contract has just been awarded to Built and this is for the plaza and car park only.

Project “delayed” according to InDaily and ACC.
