Demolition will commence in November/December of next year.

So the buildings will be empty for a half a year?

Apparently so. I'm simply relaying what the tenants have been told by the developer.

Hooray!

I'm looking forward to all the construction noise. (I live directly opposite. lol)

[Ben]

The application to start construction/site works was submitted the same day as approval! That never happens!

[Dvious]

So safe to say this one is pretty much ready to start? The valley of death nears with 2 cranes up in the last week!

Who is the builder?

[Ben]

Not sure of the builder. I would say they will be on site in the next month or two to clear the site and start piling.

They have had removable offices on site for several weeks now. But no signage as to who they are.

[how good is he]

It would be the owner (Theo Samaras/Kyren) of the property who is doing the steel fabrication/construction as their company specialises in this, has its own cranes etc. They did the U-park carpark and apartments opp. and have done many similar developments. The biggest was probably the old Repco site, 400 King William St.

Student buildings can go ahead pretty quickly. We've seen good progress over the last few months with both the 228-231 north terrace and 241-243 waymouth street student buildings. The Australian dollar dropping in value over the last couple of years means that these buildings are now viable. The direct flight to China also helps. The developers of these buildings have seen the opportunity and are getting in as fast as they can.

Looks like the end might be nigh for the G&G building...

With just 88 apartments and sales starting back in July the second tower could also start later this year.

Frome Street project to become Adelaide’s tallest tower
Kyren Group sets wheels in motion with appointment of Colliers International

A new 36-level project planned for Frome Street, just off North Terrace, in the Adelaide CBD is set to become the city’s tallest residential tower.

Developer Kyren Group has appointed Colliers International’s Nick Pelvay and Aimee Guo to market the slender mixed use building which is set to occupy a 4163sqm site at 11-27 Frome Street in the Adelaide CBD.

The project will yield 88 apartments, with the residential component of the building occupying levels 22 to 36.

“All 88 Apartments will all have completely unobstructed, outstanding views in all directions, so we’re anticipating strong interest from the local market and Asian markets, particularly in the two and three bedroom dwellings.” Mr Pelvay said.

Levels 11 to 21 will comprise 60 one, two and three bed serviced apartments, while the ground floor to level nine will be home to a 150-room hotel.

“The residential and serviced apartments will have separate car parking, entrance lobbies, and lift access from the residential,” Mr Pelvay said.

The project will also incorporate a separate 21 storey student accommodation tower fronting Synagogue Place, which will incorporate approximately 268 beds with a ground floor cafe.

Mr Pelvay said the project would be integral to the activation of the eastern end of the Adelaide CBD, including the activation and development of a key laneway, Travistock Lane.

“It will also benefit from the $50million expansion of the AdeLINK tram network, which will see trams extended along North Terrace to the East End, and the forthcoming redevelopment of the Old Royal Adelaide Hospital,” he said.

“Kyren Group has developed in excess of $500million worth of local projects to date and has a strong reputation as a developer who moves quickly on projects and delivers on time.

“Adelaide offers a magnificent and convenient lifestyle increasingly facilitated by the convenience of apartment living in inner city locations close to shops, restaurants, cultural and sporting venues and entertainment facilities and we expect strong interest from potential residents as a result.

“These factors are driving the significant growth of the local sector, with South Australian apartment approvals now representing 31% of the residential building market – an increase from 20% in 2012. Adelaide apartment approvals have nearly doubled in the past three years from 1695 in 2012 to 3385 this year."

Last year, Colliers International was responsible for the sale of more than 9,000 apartments and land lots nationally, totalling over $4billion in sales.

The new project at 11-27 Frome Street marks Colliers International’s second major residential appointment in Adelaide’s continually evolving residential apartment market, following the launch of its local Residential team earlier this year.

Mr Pelvay said it was an ideal time to expand the company’s existing, market-leading Residential Project Marketing services into the Adelaide market.

“We identified a strong need for a highly capable and experienced tier one team to support the growth of Adelaide’s apartment and infill markets and are pleased to now be offering that service,” he said.

The project is expected to create in excess of 350 construction jobs.

If I'm reading right, is the hotel actually only the podium section then the tower itself is serviced apartments and apartments?

Rhino Room Migrates to a New Home
Daniela Frangos, BROADSHEET, 17 January 2017
A new era for the Adelaide comedy venue and its sister sites The Howling Owl and Urban Cow Studio.

Adelaide comedy institution Rhino Room has found a new home in the CBD. The comedy and music venue will move into level one at 131 Pirie Street, above The Organik Store and Café and The BlueBee Room.

...

Forming a mini arts precinct in Adelaide’s “midtown”, the new digs sits alongside Raj House on Hyde Street, which houses the newly established, year-round Feast Festival hub.

The Frome Street building that currently houses Rhino Room and its adjoining venues The Howling Owl and Urban Cow Studio is slated for demolition in May, to make way for a 36-storey apartment complex.

...

Krieg is keeping mum on the new location for gin bar The Howling Owl and art gallery and retail space Urban Cow Studio, but Broadsheet can reveal the two venues will move into a two-storey building in the east end, near the Exeter Hotel. The new-era Howling Owl will introduce a food menu consisting of tapas and small plates.

...

Rhino Room, The Howling Owl and Urban Cow Studio will relaunch in May 2017.

Rhino Room confirmed for Hyde Street.

I wonder which building near the Exeter that the Howling Owl will occupy? On Rundle Street there's a few tenancies vacant (former Real Store and Pressed Juices) or soon to be vacant (Silk Route jewelers and the short-lived Albero pizza). Or perhaps it's off Rundle somewhere like one of the tenancies in Cinema Place? Either way, glad to see it'll live on.

If it's two storey, and near the Ex, I'd say where Silk Route is. Unless they're going to really expand, in which case I guess Nova is up for grabs

First time I've heard that part of the CBD referred to as midtown. Are we really trying to emulate New York that much?
