Market Square? I can't think of a bigger development in the city since the Myer Centre (excluding nRAH)? Truly transformative.

The state government built the Hilton back in 1982 hence the austere commie block appearance. No other developer was going to build an international hotel in Adelaide back then, however in its early years it was the place to be with no peer until the ASER project was completed.

We’re not confusing this for Market Square again, are we?

The predominant architectural style in the early 80’s was heavily based on a concrete look. What style of architecture do you suggest a private developer would have selected in the early 80’s?

there were numerous styles of hotels in that era... Singapore exemplified many of them.

Drove past today but could not stop for a photo :( The first external glass cladding has started to be installed on the SW corner - looks pretty nice as a finish.

Why can’t the glass quality be the same all the way up. The super reflective glass is gorg but the glass above it is giving Frome st vibes.

I could be wrong, based on the photos below it looks to me like levels 3-8 are commercial floors facing Grote Street, with carparking behind it. Hence the "commercial" looking nature of the glass. Levels 9 to to 35 are the residential floors and so I suspect the glass treatment will look different again.

Edit: Google search shows up a few different renders. I think this is the current one which seems to line up with the construction progress so far.
