19/2/2019. This project is now as tall as its neighbour. Picture from near Wakefield St on far side of the square.
Click on picture for bigger image. The short building on the left hand side (formerly known as the MLC building) was built in 1959 and was one of the first buildings from the Modern Movement.
Not bad for a 60 year old building.

It'd be great to see the design for a 110 metre tower adjoining the MLC building be brought to fruition by its proponents (haven't heard a peep since proposed in 2017). That'd make a nice little cluster overlooking the square.

1957. It was also previously known as the Beacon Building, due to the weather beacon that used to be on the top of it, and I believe it has the distinction of being Australia's first fully air-conditioned "skyscraper" (it was as tall as buildings were allowed to be in Adelaide in 1955, when building commenced).

It's now a horrible eyesore, which should be torn down, and a beautiful glass skyscraper should go up in its place (and in the car park behind it). Heritage my butt.

I do like this design... http://www.sensational-adelaide.com/for ... f=7&t=6130

Your opinion is wrong.

Your opinion of my opinion is wrong.

This opinion is what is wrong with some people on this thread.

There is a reason for its heritage which has been explained countless times on this forum.

Wasn’t there a proposal that incorporates the old whilst adding a new office tower? It’s over 100m too if I recall corrrectly?
