I find the curved building of more interest then the taller one.

I also found these images. Likewise there is no information about the project but, they could be in Adelaide:

This is the northern side of Dock One, and is the type of building proposed for the area. The bridge would be a handy link, if built.

It was only a matter of time! The curved building looks very interesting. The glass "twin tower" looks impressive due to its sheer height.

looking forward to some more information...

How can we get these great new buildings up when the stupid council wont even approve 19 storey buildings for the cbd, what ajoke we have, a city where there is height restrictions, where are we supposed to build tall buildings flinders ranges :wallbash: The sooner we take all height restrictions off in cbd the better adelaide will become rather than a hick town every other mainland city jokes about!!!!!!

Take decisions on major buildings out of the ACC's hands as has already been done?

^^ Council doesn't approve 19 story buildings, the state does. Try again.

This reminds me of what was proposed for 300-ish King William Street, on the western side.

I count the tallest tower at 46 levels, and it appears it is on a podium too. So, say a 2 level podium at 4m each, followed by 46 levels at worst case 3.3m, we've got a 160m tower, not including the feature on top. So, around the 165m mark, which wouldn't be outrageously tall for Adelaide.

We'd have a new tallest by nearly 20m!!

Wowsers, go Urbans, good luck getting that through!!

This would look fantastic in the skyline, here's hoping we see a proposal soon.

surely that grand old building that has disappeared in the render at Vic Sq is heritage listed. Other than that very positive news

in the render there is a beige colour something. What sits there now is a grand old 6-7 level building. I will find a photo

the one on the right if it works, s-a always cuts off a lot of the right side of the photo
