Reminds me a bit of the Da Costa bldg. Good frontage - more interactive in the proposal.Will wrote:Australis House (77 Grenfell St) is about to receive a makeover of its 'plinth':

City building sites in limbo
by Emily Charrison
Land worth millions of dollars is languishing in the CBD as the ongoing economic downturn forces developers to put their building plans on hold.
Dozens of empty blocks have been boarded up and left dormant on city streets in recent months because developers are struggling to find enough pre-sale tenants for banks to hand out loans.
Some of the vacant sites include The Merc on Gouger development, Aspen Group’s Tower 8 building and the Atrium on Franklin St, the old Criterion Hotel and the Hills Industries headquarters, both on King William St.
Property Council of Australia SA executive director Nathan Paine said developers were either scrapping or delaying their projects because they could not meet the tough lending conditions.
“In the current climate when banks are asking for 70 per cent pre-commitment it makes it difficult to get buildings off the ground,” he said.
“At the end of the day if you don’t have tenants it’s unlikely the development will be built.”
Urban Development Institute of Australia SA executive director Terry Walsh blamed changes in lending conditions, along with larger equity levels, to the number of stalled city projects.
“It’s certainly slowed the progress of large-scale developments from 18 months ago and that’s largely due to the credit crisis,” he said.
“But with the general confidence in business market indicators growing, we hope banks will start to recognise that they’re in the business of helping community developments.”
Adelaide City Cr David Plumridge, also a DAP member, said most of the empty blocks had already received approval but could not be built on because of a lack of tennants in the economic climate.
Although, with news this week the Federal Government is looking to lease 30,000sqm of office space by 2014, the outlook was a little more positive.
“There’s nothing worse than a big empty hole so the sooner we get them going the better,” he said.

It appears so. I'd been confused as well, so I took a slight detour down Clubhouse Lane the other day to have a look and some of the newly-affixed claddings gave it away. Their protective plastic coverings were half peeled back to reveal...more of the same.monotonehell wrote:I have been trying to work out what was new and what was old -- this explains it.

Oh sure, they say "Transformer" on the application, but it'll probably end up being one of the Mighty Machine Men. The question is, will that be because of cheapskate developers or a stick-in-the-mud DAP?Ben wrote:This is a major coup for Adelaide. I'm hoping it's optimus prime personally.
