[U/C] Victoria Tower - 36 Grote Street | 122.5m | 37 levels | apartments

[Algernon]

I find it funny, we're going to have Victoria Tower, and then Victoria Square tower all on the same block.

Fk me, we really need height there. Hope it tops out asap

If you're talking about this one and the Central Market development, then they're actually on different blocks.

I think he means the proposed CLT hotel on Victoria square.

Not sure if this is what OP is referencing, but the GPO tower is actually named Victoria Tower. Has been since the foundation was laid 150+ years ago.

Correct, and town hall is Albert Tower.

Really excited for this. Along with central market plaza Grote st will truly be transformed along with our skyline

This shit still better be 123 metres...

[Mpol02]

Why wouldn’t it be ?

I agree. This shit grinds my gears.

Developers in Adelaide have a tendency to lower their heights during the planning stages in contrast to their original heights. e.g. 270 pultney street, 230m OG, now 180m after planning

I know that mate I’ve been on this forum a lot longer than you, I don’t need the mansplaining. I’ve also seen developers increase height as well.

Typically they’re be some type of statement with such a change, a new lodgement of sorts

You did ask though, so I answered

I presume they are referring to this, which doesn't make clear how much any height reduction will be:

Variation to DA 020/A155/20, 21023213 and 21034612 - additional building level, overall reduction in building height, reduction in car parking spaces and a reduction in number of dwellings by one, and modifications to dwelling typologies and configurations

I don't think two examples shows a "tendency" to reduce heights, but then I also don't care if heights are ultimately reduced because I'd rather see something built than not. Also the quality of the building is a much more important metric imo because I don't have a height fetish.

Looking online, apparently the tower is 36 levels and 122m. So 1 metre less and 1 level more than what the name of this topic indicates.

From across the road at the Market

This (and the market buildings) will be transformational to the area around Victoria Square

Really crappy photo from today

Synergy now demolishing the front facades of the existing buildings, so have moved the site perimeter out to include the footpath.

Across the road at the market site - absolutely zip going on.
