News & Discussion: CBD Real Estate & Market Conditions

Thanks Will, things are definitely looking good.

From a development point of view, it's interesting to note that CC3 will offer only a bit less office space than CC1. From memory, it'll be on a smaller block, so it should be a decent size.

[Howie]

That's impressive, good level of pre-commitment and absorption rates on all the pre-2007 developments.

Westpac signage has started going up on the old Santos House. Just a "W" at this stage I think I will be dissapointed with the end result as 99% of their logo is black and therefore will not light up. Better than nothing though. Should look good during the day.

How do you figure that, Most of the Nova 919 logo is black but it still lights up at night.

[Ben]

Black does not light up? Are you sure it does not have a white outline or something. I can't imagine black lighting up? Maybe I'm wrong but it sounds uncomprehendable.

Yeah it has white outline, so I would say thats what there going to do with the Westpac signage. It would be pretty pointless not having lit up signage on the states tallest building.

Will find out soon enough I guess. Would love it to be working tonight but doubt it would be that fast but hopefully early next week.

Good observation Pants!

The old CCT3 proposal was for a 12 level/ 45.5m high building with 16 ooo sqm2 of office space. If it is now 30 000sqm2, that would mean that the new redesigned tower will probably be double in height; 90m ??

[Will]

Okay. Thats just plain stupid. Someone could just as easily build a bomb in the Bentham Street apartments and use it to blow up City Central.
This whole terrorism debacle has gone way in over some peoples heads.

City Central does not house the state government.

In addition this is not some crazy conspiracy theory of mine. It was actually mentioned when the re-development of the Reserve Bank Building was approved. It was stated that office accomodation was the best possible outcome for the building due to a lot of factors amongst which 'security' was mentioned.

[Shuz]

Black signage on a brown building?
ughh.....

[Shuz]

CC3 site is about 2/3, mabye 3/4 the size of CC1 footprint. To put 30,000sqm of office space on that will definetley push it beyond 100m, mabye 110.

and what of eureka and q1? non existent?

[crawf]

Mants, they are apartment buildings

[Pikey]

From this morning. I'm hoping the signage won't be all white.



Gotta love big zoom!

[Mants]

ok then...

what about Rialto then?

the tallest building doesnt necessarily need "lit up signage"
