[SWP] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 160m | 38 Levels | Office



Goodness when I look at the levels of corruption around the place, this is really small beans. And we can talk for however long, but the deal was done 10 years ago under different Governments in order to breath life into the dead and moribund area.

And out of this "corruption" will be an ...

It's solely to stop the birds.

This goes completely against Apple's very strict design guidelines. They will move out and look for an internal store front elsewhere.
What a braindead statement this is.
Pretty sure it was a tongue in cheek comment

Cathay Pacific back in mid November.

Seasonal until March. 3 times a week on A350-900.
Was it a seasonal service pre-Covid?

Will be interesting to see what's planned for the James Place upgrade. Hopefully ithe investment encourages more food venues and small bars to activate after hours.
Hope so. There are still heaps of vacant shops behind the new 60 KWS building

We just had a federal election.

Australia will get what it deserves.
Keep being apathetic and only worrying if (insert football code) is on tv and the pub/bottlo are open.
Yep. There's going to be a lot of pain to come for young Australians who ever wish to own a home.

Will this have a North Terrace address?
Looks like it, given the 210 shown at the front of the building in one of the renders.

I've heard today that the Portrush/Greenhill Rd corner mural is temporary. The corner is meant to have Louis Vuitton branding but timing did not align, so the wave/reflection imagery is a placeholder. Apparently LV are still intending to move into the new section of the centre, but it will be ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains


The politics argument doesn't really make sense though - that area is a safe Labor seat, always has been and always will be. So why spend money on something you weren't at risk of losing? Unless there had to be a bigger picture...

I'd say the ongoing attempts to rejuvenate the Port would have ...

Sounding pretty likely that the Premier's office and other Govt agencies housed in the State Administration Centre in Vic Square will move to the new tower.

What was earmarked as a “ luxury apartment project ” is now social/affordable housing. It’s an ok filler except the massive northern blank concrete wall.


Wrong corner of the square for any kind of "luxury" project, so close to the sobering up unit, homeless drop-in centres etc. Makes me ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

New lines out north to serve the growing suburbs are needed, but can they be accommodated when the Adelaide Railway Station is already at capacity?

Do we need to create an underground link before expanding the system?

Mali posted a short video of the updated design in the comments section of this Facebook post. Looks quite stunning in my opinion.
