News & Discussion: Low/Mid-Rise CBD Development

[Patrick_27]

Unless the bone of contention is that the site should have been incorporated, I think it's an acceptable design that isn't obnoxiously dominating or anything like that.

No problem with the height, simply the decision not to incorporate it as one entire project or at-least coordinate the designs of both.

9 level apartment building at 12 Tapley Place just off Gilbert Street to be known as "Nora" recommended for approval at ACC meeting tomorrow.

I really like the idea of naming after something or someone of significance.
We end up with too many apartment names that are just fancy adjectives...

Piling has Started for new Adelaide High School in Frome Rd.

Good news.

You have to wonder whether it's the power of Chinese whispers or actual fake news, but two people who I've spoken to recently who work in the RAH are both under the impression that the WHOLE RAH site is to become a high school. Not just the Reid Building behind.

Obviously they're incorrect?

I would of thought this site was heritage listed but maybe not.

Almost opposite the new Calvary hospital is some sort of building going up on Angas Street. It's about five or six storeys, is clearly not done, yet there's no advertising signs, cranes or enough construction piles from what you'd expect to see. Anyone know what it is?

That would be the carpark for the new hospital, no?

[timtam20292]

Its actually a car park.

[Ser Noit of Loit]

Got it. Thanks.

I was walking home today and noticed there is construction work happening on an old car park site on Stafford Street. I was told by a friend that there is some town houses being built in this part of the city somewhere but not sure if it's this particular site.
