[Ho Really]

Maybe another Accor brand? Also brands from IHG, Starwood, Marriott, Wyndham, etc. Plenty to pick from.

Cheers

Well we don't have a Hyatt anymore...

4 star hotel or serviced apartments maybe.

Ask yourself ... would you locate a 5 star hotel on the corner of Currie and Rosina?

In my opinion, the location is ok, but not prestigious enough for a 5 star hotel.

This one apparently will have frontage on all sides according to today's paper.

Which is good for a hotel. No bare walls and 360 degree views.

From the City Messenger:

104-108 Currie St

Palumbo Building has ambitious plans for a 32-storey mixed-use tower on Currie St that would be second only in height to Westpac House.

The proposal from Palumbo Building has more than 250 hotel rooms and 80 apartments in a complex towering above the Adelaide TAFE campus.

Company director Daniel Palumbo declined to put a total value on the project, which would cost close to $40 million to build. The application is one of four major CBD building proposals recommended for approval today

The 110m tower at the Rosina St corner would have 80 apartments over the top eight levels, above 14 floors housing 252 hotel suites.

Bars and shops and a mezzanine gallery space would occupy the ground level, while a seventh-floor "resort level" would have a terrace, pool, spa, and breakfast area.

Inbetween would be several floors of "mini" hotel rooms.

Apartments would range from one to three bedrooms and from 52sq m to 134 sq m, excluding balconies.

Of 140 carparks, 90 would be for residents and 50 for the hotel. More than 94 bicycle parks would be spread through the building.

The tower would be on one of Adelaide's few "island" sites with frontages to Solomon and Burnett streets as well as Currie and Rosina streets.

Two small buildings of no heritage value would have to be demolished.

The project, which would also have function and conference space, is recommended for approval despite not having an affordable housing component.

Construction would cost $39.5 million but Palumbo Building declined to put a total value on the development.

why does everything have to have affordable housing in it?

It doesn't.
This doesn't.

But affordable housing is something they want to encourage.

I was making reference to the comment that the specifically pointed out that it didn't.

I just thought that was weird for two reasons, 1) perhaps the apartments are affordable for the target audience 2) I can't see how it is a positive for the development for the advertiser to talk about it in such away - like if it isn't affordable its unaffordable

anyway, looking forward to see if this goes up, sorry for the derailment I might be thinking too much

Bit of a rash of big building proposals - I wonder what is going on?

ADELAIDE - TOWARDS A GREATER CITY SKYLINE

I was having a read of the development application, and the developers are aiming to create Adelaide's finest hotel. Thus, this would assume they are going for 5 star (or more)

It is also interesting to note that the building will have 2 retail tenancies facing onto Solomon and Rosina Streets.

Tell em their dreamin' ....

The riverbank precinct or North Tce are the locations to create Adelaide's finest hotel ...

It's not that I have done a stock take and estimate on the building, but if I was to have a punt 40 million seems just a little shy of what a building like that would cost to build. I can appreciate the works required for the footbridge but it seems odd that it would have the same price tag as structure like this.

None the less looks awesome but will only take it serious being another 100m+ when They start piling

[stevedude95]

So the 'Eco' Hotel and Vue on King William were approved, how/when will we find out if this was also approved?
