I had a different impression of the area that's now open. Away from the water, I thought it was a bit tacky. The car parks really ruin the area IMO, they could have at least given them a facade.

The water front was nice though.

Well it does have more to offer than Glenelg (once the redevelopment is complete and the new defence precinct is in operation), also its just next door to Semaphore.

Though Glenelg is pretty popular place to be these days, so it will be interesting to see.

Admittedly, I only walked along the water front, and dive along the road betwwen the two tall building and the train station

You might want to post that in the relevant thread and remove it from here. This is a project thread for the apartments.

THREE apartment buildings – one partially over the Port River – will make up the next stage of Newport Quays if approved by the State Government.

The third stage in the Port Adelaide waterfront redevelopment, worth $250 million, would be made up of about 400 new homes and a 100-berth marina and valet boat parking facility.

Plans were lodged on Wednesday with Planning SA's Development Assessment Commission.

Newport Quays Consortium spokesman Todd Brown described the new apartment building designs as "iconic".

"In a striking architectural statement by architects Woodhead and Denton Corker Marshall, one of these stunning apartment buildings will literally float right over the Port Adelaide River creating a truly iconic landmark for the Port Adelaide inner harbour," he said.

The third stage in the $2 billion Newport Quays project, being developed by joint venture partners Urban Construct and Multiplex Living, would take two years to build.

More than 3000 people have registered an interest in the precinct, which would be SA's largest single stage release.

In addition to the three apartment complexes, the proposal incorporates a cluster of three-storey villas, each of which would have a private marina berth.

There will also be home office accommodation available, as well as cafes and restaurants, a waterfront public plaza for community events and three public jetties.

"Stage three is about new frontiers and about creating a truly landmark form for Port Adelaide, encapsulating the spectacular water views along the entire vista of the Port Adelaide River," Mr Brown said.

The release follows the near completion of stage one, known as Edgewater. Stage two, Marina Cove, is under construction
Whoa, this is really going to change the Port...

That looks very interesting, hanging over the river like that. Now we're talking serious density.

Do you mind if I copy-pasta the above to SSC?

WOW! that looks spectacular!

It is a vast improvement over the current industrial, post-apocalyptic wasteland.

I count 10 floors on the over-hang tower, suspended by structural columns about 2/2.5 floors above ground - and a plantroom atop = 13/13.5 levels. I don't know what this equates height-wise, but 40-50m is about right?
