Two prominent Adelaide business partners are planning to build a luxury apartment block near one of the city’s most popular foodie strips.

Designs for the 16-storey apartment block at 162 to 168 Gouger St have been lodged with PlanSA.
Adelaide architect Alexander Bibbo has designed the tower with a mix of one, two, three and four bedroom apartments in the building west of Morphett Street.

The project is the vision of business partners, barrister Andrew Moffa, who has owned the site for more than 20 years, and Lelio Bibbo Consulting Engineers founder and managing director Lelio Bibbo.

If the plan is approved, there also would be carparking and three ground-level shops.

“Given the site’s unique context, the building has been designed holistically ‘in the round’,” Alexander Bibbo said about the design for 107 new homes.

“The Gouger St precinct is an exciting and vibrant part of our city.

“Consideration has been taken on behalf of the project team to deliver an exceptional design outcome.”

An application was lodged with PlanSA by Greg Vincent of Masterplan, on behalf of Square Mile Properties.

The site is near the popular Gouger St restaurant and cafe strip that is also home to the famed Adelaide Central Market, where Adelaide City Council is planning a $15m makeover this financial year.

Planning consent for the application is currently under assessment.

The application comes as the state government targets higher density living in its recently released 30-year master plan for Adelaide.

It lists apartment living as a key driver in building more than 315,000 new homes to support a projected population growth of 2.2 million by 2051.

It's nothing special, and the likelihood of it getting off the ground is probably nil, it seems as though the Chinese are the only ones actually getting these sorts of developments off the ground in this area. All that said, if it does happen will hopefully serve as a catalyst for this section of Gouger Street which is looking very country town esque.
