[HiTouch]

Although disappointing, I wonder how many of our developments would have followed through if Corona hit us 2 years ago.

[[Shuz]]

Bumping a defunct development thread because there's been no news about it for over a year so it's pointless to ask if anything is going on with this one. HiTouch, get my point?

Looks like this project has had a slight redesign. Looks better in my opinion.

Possibly still alive?

29 Twin Street Tower - PBSA

29 Twin Street Tower is poised to become one of the tallest purpose-built student accommodation structures globally. This 39-level tower, a project by Hines Property and designed by the renowned global design firm Woods Bagot, will house 570 dedicated student beds.

Strategically located on Twin Street, the tower sits adjacent to the Ibis Adelaide Hotel and is surrounded by the State Heritage-listed Adelaide & Gays Arcade, right in the heart of Adelaide. Its prime location offers immediate access to Rundle Mall, just 80 meters away, and convenient connections to North Terrace and the verdant Hindmarsh Square, only 100 meters away. The tower’s orientation ensures breathtaking views of Adelaide's cityscape, coastline, and the picturesque Adelaide Hills.

The architectural design of the tower emphasises a sleek and vertical silhouette, creating a striking presence in the skyline. This streamlined expression accentuates the building's height and slender profile, contributing to its iconic stature.

A standout feature of this development is the multi-level student hub atop the tower. This hub will offer a variety of amenities, including a state-of-the-art gymnasium, social laundry facilities, study spaces, media room, and dining areas. The hub is distinctly marked by a change in the building's façade fabric, serving as a crown for the tower and offering unparalleled views of Adelaide.

Thanks for sharing Will, I had a feeling this would be back on deck soon.

I like the redesign too, plus it appears that it's had a level added? Might even nudge the 130m mark?

In terms of skyline composition, I'm looking forward to this one coming up. It'll give a much needed "bridging" effect when viewing the skyline, making the taller (and growing) northern skyline feel more connected with the central cluster.

it looks like another Switch

[SRW]

They got rid of the weird pod things that were supposed to be 'open' communal space, so I wonder how they've reimagined that.

Agree with the comment about bridging the skyline. It should help make those Frome Street tallies look less out of place.

And for Twin Street, as much as I miss the Jade Monkey, anything is better than a carpark. I'd love to see the old Cox Foy building (Kmart) redeveloped too.

[Prodical]

Maybe with the pressure on universities to provide more student accommodation capacity, something will happen...

Not holding my breath - there are no new high-rises proposed for the next SCAP so anything significant from now on is a while away.

It looks as though they have consolidated the common spaces to the upper three levels, effectively creating a visual crown.

if this remains a mainly glass centric facade as per the materials in the first instance, it could be quite a striking development.

Good, much better that the rest of the student housing proposals.

I'm weary of this render though, it doesn't sho much and it could either look great or as someone said above, become another Switch. The crown is a nice touch but hoping this isn't a huge cement eyesore.

[Ursus Maritimus]

I really don't mind this render, but the light colour indicates it will be clad in a manner like Switch. I guess student accommodation is all about being cheap and nasty.
