Sorry to drag up a post from a month ago, but it struck me as ironic. - Wasn't that demolished site a 3 story car park?frank1 wrote:Ah..... that makes sense.

It's not uncommon for developers to clear the site before approval is granted if the structure has little economic value. Sometimes they'll sit on the site for ages, and may even use it as a car park in the interim to generate a bit of cash flow.frank1 wrote:Just curious, has this development actually been approved? If not, why are they already clearing the site?
no it was a petrol station and small shops.monotonehell wrote:Sorry to drag up a post from a month ago, but it struck me as ironic. - Wasn't that demolished site a 3 story car park?
Rats I was getting my hopes up - the ugliest car park in Adelaide is directly behind that site isn't it?Ben wrote:no it was a petrol station and small shops.monotonehell wrote:Sorry to drag up a post from a month ago, but it struck me as ironic. - Wasn't that demolished site a 3 story car park?

Some carparks are okay. That one is especially ugly. This building will hide it, which is a good thing.Cruise wrote:Lol, there are good looking carparks around?monotonehell wrote:Rats I was getting my hopes up - the ugliest car park in Adelaide is directly behind that site isn't it?
Glad to see the proposed changes to 400 King William were also supported plus the Wyatt Street proposal.New Hills Industries City headquarters approved
Released: 07 Apr 2008 [12.00am]
Adelaide’s skyline is set to grow further, with the Adelaide City Council’s Development Assessment Panel tonight giving the go-ahead to two new 15-level commercial buildings in the City, including the new $90 million home for iconic Australian company Hills Industries.
The proposed Hills development features ground-level retail tenancies, office accommodation covering levels 1 to 14, four basement car parking levels with spaces for more than 180 cars, and a landscaped open deck common area on the top level.
The building will also incorporate a number of environmentally sustainable features including low energy use, minimised stormwater discharge, a waste management plan, the provision of motorcycle and bicycle parking spaces for staff, and sun-shading devices on the building’s external façade.
Lord Mayor Michael Harbison says Hills’ decision to relocate its headquarters from Edwardstown to King William Street is a significant vote of confidence in the City.
“Hills is such a well known Australian company, being the maker of the famous Hills Hoist, so its decision to establish a new commercial base in the City is very welcome,†he says.
“It will bring hundreds of new workers into the City generally and the southern precinct in particular, and is another sign that the development and construction boom in Adelaide remains strong.â€
“The southern precinct along King William Street is becoming a particular focus for commercial development, with the State Government’s tram extension delivering increased transport options for companies and developers looking to build new premises.â€
“Along with the new Hills building, two other substantial buildings are due to commence construction soon, including an office tower at 416 King William Street, and an office and residential building in Gilles Street.â€
The Development Assessment Panel has tonight also given development consent for a fresh application for an 11-level office building at 374-400 King William Street.
The original development application was approved in September 2006, however the developers lodged a new application increasing the height of the building and incorporating other changes including extra lifts and a remodelled entrance to King William Street.
The other new proposal approved by the Panel tonight is for a 15-level mixed-use building at 57-59 Wyatt Street, comprising ground floor retail, two levels of car parking providing 34 spaces, four levels of offices, and residential apartments on the 8th to 15th levels.
Existing buildings on the site would be demolished, while a gymnasium is proposed to be established on the building’s 7th floor.
