what's the purpose of the white beams over Bank St? will they remain in that position?
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Just a temporary gantry, I think.

Well, yes. Seeing out of one's window is fairly overrated, I must say.

Good to see - they sure need to do something about those window though. (Bit of a far cry from the aesthetics of the previous bldg.).

BTW - recently read that finances put into apartmernts in Adelaide has almost halved since last year. (from AFR news about the matter). Will be interesting re student accommodation.

I was in the city last week with a couple of friends who don't follow this type of thing at all and even they commented on how "Soviet" the building looked with its tiny windows.

Yes, Soviet indeed Comrade.

Maybe it could be remaned the Gulag - acronym for Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camps and Colonies (in Russian: ??????? ?????????? ?????????????-???????? ??????? ? ???????; Glavnoye Upravlyeniye Ispravityel'no-Trudovih Lagyeryey i koloniy)

The UrbanGulag… could be a mildly effective marketing tool.
