My guess is that it's actually for the Tower Apartments building on King William Street. That building was built in the 70s if I remember correctly?

Now... I assume, that glass is randomly breaking off, much like the glass did from Grenfell Centre (also a 70s building). As I recall Grenfell Centre had a similar canopy enveloped around it for a while when that particular problem was occuring.

Due to open in March 2014? It didn't even look half finished last time I walked by. Hopefully I am proven wrong and it will look spectacular.

Looking forward to this refurbishment, will look great at the end of a refurbished Rundle Mall, and with hopes of the Jamie Oliver restaurant down the road in the old bank building, plus everything else thats happening. True revitalisation of the CBD.

I think the extension looks cheap, tacked on and nasty but I quite like the signage! those types of signs have a grand feel about them.

Any reason they plan to reject? Differences look minimal to what has been approved.

It's been a while since they've had an application to assess. Just following their procedures.

For me I don't mind the extension, it just looks like a totally separate building. Certainly much better than what was there - the larger size I think again gives the building it's own identity.

What I really can't understand is the veranda. I assume that is just what is there now. It just looks so tacked on and tries to link the two buildings together but does it so badly.
