Luxury apartment block set to be built in Glenelg

One of South Australia’s most popular beachside destinations is set to be the site of a new luxury 13-level apartment building, with Monday the last day for submissions on the development.

The 426-square metre residential flat building is set to be built at St Johns Row, just one street behind Glenelg’s Esplanade offering 10 dwellings and a basement.

The development plan has been lodged by H & M Enterprises, which have built on SA’s coast before with the luxury apartment complex Dusk Henley Beach, completed in 2021.

The Glenelg apartment building will consist of three-bedroom apartments and a rooftop communal space with solar panels.

The 43 metre structure will be built on a vacant lot next to a tennis court.

The plan states that “no affordable housing” is proposed at the site due to the facilities and location of the building.

It comes after local residents had a second say on contentious plans to build a $160m luxury apartment complex on the Glenelg foreshore, with revised designs revealed by developers after more than a year of legal wrangling.

Chasecrown lodged a new development application for its proposed development at the former Seawall Apartments site on South Esplanade, about 500m south of Moseley Square, reaching a top height of 10 storeys.

The state planning authority previously rejected a 13-storey proposal from Chasecrown in July 2021, a decision the developer appealed in the Environment Resources and Development Court.

Chasecrown has decided not to pursue its original plan for a 13-storey development and is pushing ahead with the 10-storey alternative, which was previously endorsed by SCAP (State Commission Assessment Panel), in what opponents described at the time as a “secret” deal between the developer and the planning authority to reach a compromise.

Looks like this may be "SWP"

Don't think this proposal for 13 Colley Terrace has been posted here yet: https://www.instagram.com/p/CodgZEUveb5/

This was approved last week.

Noticed demolition on Colley Tce the other day, so this appears to be underway.

It's now a carpark, so I guess not...

Not sure if there is a dedicated thread for this one.

Big change looking down Jetty Rd

I feel Glenelg needs treatment like St Kilda, remove cars between Moseley Street and roughly the library on Colley Terrace. Restrict it to a shared zone for buses, trams and pedestrians.

[SRW]

I believe the Jetty Road masterplan introduces a slow zone and pedestrian priority along the street if not completely shared. However, the coast zone will not commence until 2026. https://www.yourholdfast.com/transformi ... ad-glenelg

Barrio Plans Carbon-Neutral Apartments at Glenelg North



Barrio Developments has submitted plans for a nine-storey residential development at Glenelg North featuring carbon-neutral design and affordable housing components.

The proposed development for 21 Adelphi Terrace, 9km south-west of the Adelaide CBD, comprises 55 apartments.

The ground floor would offer studio apartments of 47sq m, one-bedroom units from 47 to 55sq m, two-bedroom apartments of up to 77sq m and a 40sq m communal wellness space.

Proposed for levels one to three are larger apartments, with two-bedroom units from 100 to 105sq m, and three-bedroom apartments of 160 and 175 square metres.

The upper levels would comprise premium offerings—levels seven and eight include two-bedroom apartments from 99 to 158sq m and a three-bedroom apartment of 105 square metres.

According to the development application, 15 apartments would be designated as affordable housing—13 one-bedroom and two two-bedroom.

The block would also feature 57 parking spaces, including three ground-level visitor spaces, with access via dual car lifts.

Visitor parking would be available in the first basement level through resident-controlled access.

The plans also show 67 bicycle parking spaces, exceeding council requirements by 47 spaces.



The development would target a 7.5-star NatHERS rating average, a 20 per cent improvement over National Construction Code requirements.

According to the documents, “the building will be fully electrified with no use of fossil fuels” and Savant Energy would operate an embedded energy network with options for 100 per cent renewable energy procurement, over time.

The sustainability features include a minimum 30kW rooftop solar installation and a 30 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared with standard NCC2022 buildings.

Rainwater would be stored in 6kl tanks for irrigation, while more than 80 per cent of the site will incorporate landscaping or high Solar Reflective Index roofing to reduce heat island effects.

Offsite prefabrication would reduce onsite time and emissions with an approach to “minimise construction waste through efficient design techniques, including standardisation and offsite prefabrication wherever practicable”.



Other amenities include electric-vehicle-charging infrastructure, space for e-bikes and cargo bikes, and provision for a contracted car-share service.

The project team includes PACT Architects, traffic consultant CIRQA, and sustainability consultant D Squared Consulting.

The Adelphi Terrace strip has a complex planning history.

In 2018, Barrio Developments’ initial proposal for the site at 22-23 Adelphi Terrace was rejected by the state government assessment panel for exceeding the area’s five-storey height limit and failing to meet design standards, landscaping, setbacks and parking requirements.

At the time, Barrio Developments managing director Glen Vollebregt said they would modify the plans and “consider height reduction” despite the proposed height being “only about 7 per cent over the required 18.5 metres”.

Holdfast Bay Mayor Amanda Wilson said, “the point of the development plan is to set the rules for height and if we keep having developments exceed it, what’s the point of the development plan”.



According to online planning portal BCI, construction on the now seven-storey, 59-apartment complex project, dubbed Quayview on Adelphi, is expected to be completed next month.

The neighbouring property at 19-20 Adelphi Terrace was purchased by Scott Salisbury Group in 2019 for more than $6 million. The Adelphi­—a seven-storey development comprising 46 apartments and 10 townhouses—was, at the time, contentious. But new plans with setbacks were filed and the seven-storey building is now completed and operational.

Barrio has also filed plans for developments at 16 Adelphi Terrace and at 2 Canning Street just off the Adelphi strip. Construction is under way on the latter site.

In June this year Stallard Meek Flightpath Architects filed plans for a six-storey, 18 apartment project at 2 and 4 MacFarlane Street, right around the corner from the Adelphi strip.
