[ghs]

Going before the DAC this thursday - a 6 level building on the parade.

Have always felt that the building currently there would make a great JB Hi-Fi...

How did this one go?

Information from a recent Messenger Press article:

A FIVE-storey apartment block will be built on The Parade, Norwood, despite objections from St Ignatius’ College and a nearby business owner.

The Development Assessment Commission has approved the $12 million project at the corner of Portrush Rd, pending more detail on the design of the facade facing The Parade.
The owners — Kevin Chapley, Jo Chapley and Zack Kalamboyas — refused to comment on the approval, when work would start or how much the 36 apartments will sell for.

The building will be the second tallest in Norwood, with only the water tower behind it higher.
The tower is owned by the Manresa Society, an organisation associated with St Ignatius’ College, whose junior school is about 300m away on Queen St.

Representing the Manresa Society, planning consultant Grazio Maiorano said the apartments would overlook the water tower if the school went ahead with plans for a mixed-use residential and commercial development on the site or turned part of it into a sporting oval.

He also said the 44 parking spaces as part of the complex created a “significant parking shortfall issue” because Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Council’s development plan required 65 spots for such a building.

...

Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Mayor Robert Bria said the apartment block was the type of development the council had envisaged when it changed zoning on The Parade in 2013 to allow buildings up to seven storeys on the shopping strip.

“I hope this development activates the Portrush Rd end of the Parade, which is starting to get some activity,” Mr Bria said.

Good location for some higher density in the vicinity of the Parade, with accessibility to shops and amenities, a "Go Zone" public transport corridor and proximity to the city. A future tram link would add to its attraction.

I still lament the lack of a medium density residential component in the Coles redevelopment - overlooking Norwood's Coke Park. Another lost opportunity for increasing residential use adjacent the Parade was the newly built Chemist Warehouse and associated car park.

This one is well underway. Mobile crane onsite with precast concrete panels being installed. Couldnt get a picture

I finally got to see this site today when I saw the crane in the distance. I only got a picture from the side street (Queen St) as there was nowhere to stop on the parade at 5.30 pm. Work has just started on level 6 from the parade end.

Wrong site - Nuova is only one lot west of the Portrush Rd intersection......

Yes, these are photos of the Bath Hotel apartments.

Which is also six levels, on the Parade, so they're pretty easy to mix-up.

The Nuovo project is only at level 1.(The Bath Hotel project can be seen in the back ground in the first picture on the left hand side). Picture 3 shows the front view from Norwood Parade.
