It's already making a MAJOR impact to the views from Victoria Square as you look south down King William Street.

Surely a crane rise will be due on this one soon!

No Brando.

As Shuz pointed out recently the recent round of pics show that the latest steel beams installed have reached full height. No need for a crane rise as it is already above the total height of the building. There was never going to be a crane rise on this project.

This one is having a big impact from all directions now.

It was quite easy to spot from the air when i flew back into town on Sunday afternoon. Can wait for this one to be finished

Thanks for clearing that up mate.

Been away from all accessable computers for 18 days - good to come back to this - plenty of bulk and presence! Helps make up for the Hill's scenario. Really looking forward to the completion of it.

ADELAIDE - TOWARDS A GREATER CITY SKYLINE

From this morning. Final beams are up on the outside now, giving a good indictation of how big this building will be.

I can't wait until this is done! Its going to have a huge impact for that end of the city!

To get a better picture of proportions, can anyone give an idea of the length of the bldg as against the block length?

ADELAIDE - TOWARDS A GREATER CITY SKYLINE

The block is 130m, and the building is 87.5m, taking up 67% of the block or 2/3rds.

Wow! That pic really shows how big this is going to be. It will make quite an impression in this part of town

Thanks Shuz - I had a suspicion of this - but I took an estimate of about 75% from the photos. 2/3rds of the block at 11 floors -great!!

"Bulk", "presence", "impact" are more interesting for photographs than for the life of a city. Longer rant on the subject here.

Now that I'm getting used to Canberra's standards this thing is bloody huge!

Sadly, I believe I could almost guarantee that this building will look as cheap and nasty as its sister Lot 8. Looks massive though from that last pic and I can only keep my fingers crossed that the glass on this will actually be decent.
