Here is a high resolution aerial view from the website Spookfish that shows the space this development could take up and proximity to Dwell and Adelaidean.

Isn't the whole thing being replaced? Why internal demolition, shouldn't they just bulldoze the whole lot?

And asbestos.

They are getting ready for full demolition. Two lanes on Frome blocked off leaving just one for turning and going straight. This will be an area to avoid when driving.

Bring it on!!

[Mpol03]

Cannot wait to see this go up.
2019 will be a real game changer for the skyline.

I hope this turns out as expected. Prove to developers that student accom doesn’t have to be cheap and tacky

Scaffolding is now around the exterior.

A large mobile (belonging to McMahons) was working on site today (Sunday) as part of the demolition. Adelaidean is up to level 9.

Also not sure why the character of North Adelaide is concerned. (Nice journalism Advertiser).

Adelaidean tower developer Theo Samaras launches Supreme Court appeal over neighbouring GSA Australia student tower

Renato Castello, Urban Development Editor, The Advertiser

The developer of what will be Adelaide’s tallest building is pushing ahead with efforts to delay construction of a neighbouring student tower.

Theo Samaras, who is building the 135m-tall Adelaidean tower on Frome Street, has lodged a Supreme Court appeal against the approval of Global Student Accommodation Australia’s 118m-tall property on North Tce.

The appeal, listed for a hearing on Wednesday, comes after Mr Samaras lost a challenge against the project in the Environment Court and Development Court in August.

Mr Samaras had launched that action claiming the public should have had a say on the design of the rival tower which the state’s planning authority approved in April.

ERD Court Judge Susanne Cole rejected the challenge saying the GSA Australia project had been properly classified as a Category 1 development and did not require public notification.

The $60 million student building would partially obscure northern views from the Adelaidean, once built.

The Advertiser attempted to contact Mr Samaras for comment about his appeal.

GSA Australia has started demolition of the existing 1950s First Church of Christ Scientist Building, which will make way for the 680-bed student building.

The student building had been criticised by the associate government architect who raised concerns that the building did not fit the character of North Adelaide.

[how good is he]

i think they meant North Tce Adelaide.
