PIRIE St's Tivoli Hotel should be transformed into a wine bar and function centre underneath 10-storeys of luxury apartments by this time next year.

Work started this month on project involving the 19th century hotel, closed since 2002.
By June 2008, the site is expected to have Adelaide's first residential car lift.
The 1885 music hall/ballroom, uncovered only a few years ago, will be restored as part of the upmarket wine bar development.
Six, three-storey penthouse apartments, with their own private rooftop garden, are expected to sell for up to $2 million each.
There will also be 10 short-stay hotel apartments.
Pascot Property project manager Andrew Foti said building 10-storeys of apartments over the two-storey Tiv and its antique dance floor was an ``architectural feat''.
Retaining the dance floor was not part of the original plans for a $10 million five-storey mixed use complex.
But Pascot decided to keep and restore the music hall and pub, in part based on advice from the City Council's heritage consultants McDougall & Vines, which believed it should be State-heritage listed.
The conservation work has nearly doubled the cost of the building and restoration works, to $25 million, and has forced the building up to 10-storeys, pushing it to 30m high.
The pub, famed as a live music venue for rock acts such as Cold Chisel, The Angels, The Cruel Sea and more recently The Vines, 28 Days and Powderfinger, will be turned into a wine bar.
Building contractor Built Environs said the job should be finished in 12 months.
``All the ground stuff has been done, now we're just interrupting the traffic,'' director Mick O'Connor said.
``It's part and parcel of a very busy Adelaide.
``It doesn't matter where you go there seems to be building everywhere.'' Meanwhile the Tivoli is expected to boast Adelaide's first residential car lift when its remake into a mixed use bar/apartment complex is completed in June next year.
Residents at the apartments and penthouses, prices for which range up to $2 million, will drive in the drive way, alongside the 1885 music hall (set to become a function centre).
They will then drive into the car lift, go up above the ballroom, and drive out to park their vehicles in the two levels of car parking above.
