I'm sure fawlty towers even had better views from their rooms

What about the rooms with the beautiful view of the Rundle St. carpark?? Yikes!

In a city it is hard to ensure every room has a nice view.

Will the windows on those rooms be facing in that direction or will the be posisitioned on a different side? Surely they couldn't/wouldn't design a building like that

When I visited the sales office for the apartments I saw that there were minimal windows on the north side of the apartment complex, which overlaps with the side of the hotel complex.

Not sure though what is on that end of the south side of the hotel building.

Thanks JK - starting to look like a real city corner now - like Edge/Wave. Has anyone noticed that because of the E-W and N-S direction of the streets - with no hills or turns, it looks like opening up into open space down any of them - Other cities tend to have the hills and turns and there is an enclosed/ 'city' to it - like it will not end. This corner of HSQ has that appearance, and to a lesser extent, the rest of HSQ.Quite impressed. I guess in time that open ended feel will decrease.

ADELAIDE - TOWARDS A GREATER CITY SKYLINE

few pics on a brisk Saturday morning. I'm pleased the southern elevation of the hotel building isn't just a blank concrete wall as it makes quite a large impact on the square

I've still very little idea of how this will look for a northern or eastern perspective. Hopefully not just a blank wall, either.

Oh my, such changes.

crane for the Crowne Plaza building now raised to its full height.

Final level (roof) of the Apartment tower being poured today.

Quick pic taken today:

It makes quite an impression!

Sure does. A far cry from 2 years ago around the square.
