[T]o buy a median-priced home in SA ... you need to earn $154,500.

According to Payscale.com the average SA salary now is $74,000.

Geez that's bleak

Progress pics for Tucker St Housing Trust Apartments 07/06

Luxury Apartments planned for 82 Rundle St Kent Town with the rather dystopian advertising slogan of "worth every million". Just to make it clear that non-multi-millionaires need not apply.

I just noticed they fixed the boo boo with the misplaced window. Hurrah.

I wonder if this is a mistake.

Good eye Pikey, there's definitely an eye-catching gold glint there now. Not quite the golden crown from the early renders though is it; more like a tiara :lol:

Quarters

Spanning across levels 16-20, Quarters embodies minimalist, low-impact living while emphasising the proximity to the best of Adelaide ...

Yep the tower is pretty much 50/50 residences v hotel rooms according to these numbers.

Thanks for posting!

Not crazy about the render but this project sounds promising, will save an iconic building from falling into ruin, and inject a diversity ...

Yep, completely out of control. If Clare O'Neil thinks this is "sustainable" she is not fit to be in her role. We're already pretty much at the stage where the only people who can afford to buy a home are people who already have a home, or have parents willing/able to gift them money. And it's not ...

Oh look. "Rises of up to 10% by early 2026". This must be that "sustainable growth" the Housing Minister said she wants to see :?
