Crane Counter: CBD 9 | Metro 5| Total 14

[Pikey]

the DA is approved at 15 levels, 13 are office, and 2 retail. 64m was the height of the 15 level DA, according to an email I got back from the ACC.

Also, it looks like another 15 level building is being planned for the Dakota site, all residential though.

[Al]

Wasn't the residential project of the Dakota project called "Dokota on Wyatt" which was put on hold? Or is this new proposal a completely new building?

[Pikey]

Dakota got scrapped, and what I heard there are discussions for further use of the site, one option being a 15 lvl resi.

Interesting fact: World oil prices going through the roof have actually given a big lifeline to the apartment market. People are wanting to live in the city to avoid using their cars to commute to and from the city.

thanks for clearing that up for me. In that case the information on emporis is in-correct.

The 15 level apartment tower proposal sounds promising, hopefully it will become a reality.

[Algernon]

Anybody who lived in Adelaide during the 90's should be happy with that.

With one exception.

The IAG building.

Now, I haven't made my feelings about this building known, but suffice to say, I don't agree with that building. Just to elaborate, that building is that much of a #$%^ing disgrace that i'm browsing the virgin blue website right now.

The Australian Building Greenhouse Rating has got to be the biggest joke going around since Port Adelaide V Sydney Qualifying Final.

Someone have a seat right here and give me an explanation how a building with 8 levels of CAR PARK CAN HAVE A 5 STAR GREEN RATING.

That is all.

[Adelarch]

well even if only half of these get built you'd have to say it truly is boomtime in Adelaide

few others worth mentioning?:
- Globe apts in Synagogue place – 16 levels (possibly canned?)
- Makris proposal for a 10 level office tower above City Cross Arcade (most probably canned)
- Proposal for apartments tacked onto the back of the freemasons building in nth tce (only info from a 1 yr old advertiser story)
- several 5-7 storey apartments on Sth Tce
- 5 level Palais site on Nth Tce
- eco-design competition apartments for Whitmore Sq (up to 5 storeys from memory)
- Fuj apartments (9 levels?)
- and last and least (according to some ) the 16 level student accommodation proposal for Hindley St

Globe Apartments had severe trouble because it was proposed in a 9 level height limit zone. I haven't read up on it lately, but I wouldn't be surprised (or sad) if it's gone tits up.

Makris group pulled out of the 10 storey commercial building on city cross. And ACC is pissed, because it's a prime location left severely underdeveloped.

[Howie]

Hey pants,

I reckon this would be excellent if we turn this into an official development list thread. Care to maintain it?

[Pants]

Happy to mate.

I'll change the name and post links the next time I'm bored at work.

So, first thing tomorrow morning it is then.

[Howie]

Great stuff

I'll get started on a map also.

Wow look at that list, it's grown significantly over the last year or so.

[AtD]

Hold that thought Howie - I had one made up for SSC, however, I seem to have lost it. Hopfully it's on a CD somewhere at my Parent's place.

Gives me an excuse to make another one and further procrastinate from study.

[Pikey]

Nice one Pantaloons.

One thing though champ, the Balfours site has three towers, not five. The total devo including Bus Station and Balfours has five.

Also, paving's complete, and now moving on to laying turf - riveting stuff!

[Pants]

At the risk of turning this thread ghey, I though I'd mention that I'm also laying turf this weekend.

Good times.
