Looks like that website that Ben posted is dead now.

Isn't this the pub that shut down recently because the group that owns it and a few others went bankrupt?

Yes. They also blamed the Obahn tunnel construction work for its closure.

The pub has since reopened and now known as the Royal Terrace Hotel.

You're thinking of the previous owners. It did reopen back in February as you say, but the new owner (who also owns The Glenelg Pier Hotel, Propoganda Club in the city, the Links Lady Bay Hotel and the Brougham Adelaide at North Adelaide) went bust a week and a half ago.

The pub has nothing to do with the redevelopment as it’s leased out to operators. Penny Place was brought forward so this one will likely start once that reaches enough pre sales I would say.

Some new renders. Hopefully this will go to market soon.

Lovely.

Fingers crossed it goes ahead. Any idea who the Architects are?

Just did some digging. Woods Bagot are the architects.

More of this standard not only in the metro areas but in the CBD. Ta

Doesn't look too bad. Is the current hotel building staying and being incorporated into the design?

This one seems to be alive again. Website and social media are both live again.

From the developers website:

Located on the site of the ‘Royal Hotel’ carpark, Kent Town, this unique residential development will deliver 192 new apartments and the restoration of the heritage listed hotel.

High quality shared amenity and green space will be a key feature of the new development which will also include car sharing, electric vehicle charging, bike storage facilities and ground floor retail.

The new apartments will offer studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom residences within two buildings and achieve a minimum 7.5-star energy rating and deliver 100% renewable energy to residents along with easy access public transport, parklands and the Adelaide CBD.

There's a partial render at the above link but it doesn't really show much.

Looks massively dumbed down from the previous proposal.

Turns out this is a Renewal SA project:

ROYAL TREATMENT FOR PROMINENT KENT TOWN CORNER
https://renewalsa.sa.gov.au/news/royal- ... wn-corner/

Renewal SA has partnered with national property developer Flagship Group to deliver close to 200 apartments next door to the State Heritage-listed Royal Hotel in Kent Town.

The $105 million development will involve the restoration of the Royal Hotel, which opened in 1878 and is located on the historic corner of North Terrace and Dequetteville Terrace, as well as the construction of two mid-rise apartment buildings.

One of these buildings will comprise 102 Build to Rent apartments and the other will comprise 90 Build to Sell apartments, with 21% of the apartments to be offered as affordable housing.

In a South Australian first, the Build to Rent apartments will be a departure from Australia’s traditional development model by offering investment-class, long-term rental options to the open market and featuring a high level of internal amenity and services for working professionals—such as car sharing, electric vehicle charging and bike storage facilities.

The development of this highly desirable city-fringe location, which will transform The Royal Hotel’s existing car park and adjoining land, will not only unlock much need housing and rental opportunities for South Australians but also generate approximately 577 new jobs during the two-year construction period.

Renewal SA’s Chief Executive Chris Menz said that The Royal at Kent Town project was made possible through a successful collaboration between the state government and the private sector and that it would support more South Australians into homeownership while contributing to the State Government’s $550 million 10-year housing strategy.

“The Royal at Kent Town will encourage more young, working professionals to live near the CBD where they can further leverage the great connections and infrastructure available to them,” he said.

“The project will also see the landmark Royal Hotel refurbished—bringing it back to its former glory and adding to the vibrancy of the new Kent Town precinct that will be created as part of this development.”

Flagship Group CEO and Director Mark Jarman said that he and his team were incredibly excited to be planning the rejuvenation of what was a landmark corner in Adelaide and what would soon become a new gateway to Kent Town.

“Our focus on design that enables and encourages the occupants to form their own micro-community is a fundamental and will remain a priority in delivering this new precinct,” Mr Jarman said.

“In addition to high quality green space and shared amenity, the new apartments will also achieve a minimum 7.5-star energy rating and deliver 100% renewable energy to tenants.”

Renewal SA support for the project will enable construction of the two apartment buildings to be undertaken concurrently, with works due to commence no later than mid-2022.

Flagship Group will later determine the future use of the Royal Hotel, with its restoration focusing on a new commercial co-working space and a light food and beverage offering.

A REAL shame this was dumbed down.

This is going to SCAP next week, with a recommendation to grant Planning Consent.
