News & Discussion: Low/Mid-Rise CBD Development

[Dog]

wouldn't the council prefer their generous funds to be used for something a little more of value?

I mean if you have to spend substantial amounts of money to make something look like it should be heritage, it perhaps shouldn't be...

Spot on, if council has excesses of heritage money this group of buildings on Whitmore Square are much more worthy of restoration!

S10/20/2013
PROPOSED BUILDING 4 9-19 Mellor Street ADELAIDE SA 5000
Construct 7 level residential building - 52 apartments.
13/08/2013
$10,000,000 Category 1

Plans are now on ACC website:

http://ncapps.adelaidecitycouncil.com/a ... hments.pdf

Site work well underway now and notices have been posted in the precinct buildings.

Looking over the plans, a bit cheeky including the proposal superimposed on the precinct master plan with balfours facade plaza providing "central markets access". You could get to the markets that way, but probably not without a lung full of asbestos, a cut from the debris left behind by the precinct developers and a stern talking to from sapol

While driving through the city today I noticed that 333 King William Street is getting what appears to be an additional level or two. The new steel structure is very visible.

This building was refurbished a few years ago and has the lift shaft extending higher than the building. I guess that means that the building probably was originally designed to have more levels.

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me, but the building is this one:

333 King William

That makes sense now! Always wondered what the hell was sticking out the top of that building.

At its meeting on January 20, the ACC approved a proposal to comprehensively renovate the heritage listed Darling Building on Franklin Street into boutique A-grade office space and retail. This building has been vacant since 1999, and was previously part of Aspen's City Central project.

The project is being financed by local investors, and has already secured William Burton Architects as a tenant.

I actually really like that building, so no complaints here.

I guess it is a shame that the site won't be fully developed in the near future, but at least that building gets a refurbish.

From the City Messenger:

174-180 Wright St, Adelaide

Hotel Ivaritji would be the Adelaide CBD's first eco-hotel, overlooking Whitmore Square.

First revealed by The Advertiser in November, the $11 million development would be clad to resemble the fur skin cloak of the revered Kaurna ancestor Ivaritji.

Troppo Architects director Phil Harris would form a co-operative with friends to build, own and run the nine-storey hotel.

Adelaide City Council has opposed the project because it requires the demolition of two local heritage-listed, 1895 villas, now used as offices.

The hotel would be split into two towers. A cafe at the base would double as a check-in desk for the 23 suites.

There would be no airconditioning apart from an evaporative system in the cafe to save power.

An array of solar panels, green walls and an "edible" rooftop garden would be among the other environmental features.

A rooftop function space would be planted with citrus and olives while art shows would be held in the cellar.

The fitout of the suites would feature recycled materials and possibly an Aboriginal art theme.

The development would also include a three-storey building facing the square for a business with a "shop top" apartment, and townhouses behind the hotel.

The new hotel will be 29m tall according to DAC documents.

This has been approved. I am not sure how they are going to attract guests at this time of the year with no airconditioning!

It will be naturally cooled. How well that works during a heat wave like this, I'll guess we'll see.

Fantastic infill if they go ahead... another old single level warehouse and an empty block erased from our city.

Price Guide for the Storeys

Latest price guide for The Storeys. Looks like there's been a price increase from the last price list in Sept 2013. Was told by the agent they have sold more than 70% of the units and will be starting construction in July.

I would assume new club rooms commenced in the parklands off Frome Road (red dot)

The extension at Adelaide High School is making slow progress.
