BUILDING BRIDGES - $7m Light Square project takes shape
by Adam Todd
BUILDING HOPE: An artist's impression of Common Ground, Light Square.
CONSTRUCTION of the Common Ground affordable housing complex at Light Square will start in the next fortnight.
Contracts were due to be signed yesterday, April 29, and Adelaide-based Candetti Constructions are expected to start works early next month.
The $7 million project will feature 52 apartments for low income earners and homeless people, who must go through an assessment process to secure tenancy.
The four-storey complex will be built on the site of the old Sands and McDougall building, in the square’s south-west corner.
The project was scheduled to start earlier this year, but executive director Sue Crafter said the slowing economy had made it harder to find corporate donors.
“Businesses and corporates in general are not making such large donations, so it did take us a little longer than we expected to get those donations in,” she said.
Among the corporate donors are Candetti, Bianco, Normetals, Ikea and Harvey Norman, contributing a combined $2 million to the project.
The State Government has contributed the remaining $5 million.
Ms Crafter said construction would take about 40 weeks, meaning the first residents would move in around March next year.
The waiting list for Common Ground accommodation stands at about 270.
The Light Square project is the second Common Ground development. The first, above the Franklin St bus station, opened last year and has 37 apartments.
“It’s going very well, tenants say they’re very happy there, they say they’re very appreciative to live in such a high quality environment,” she said.
“It makes a huge difference to have access to stable, high quality housing.
“One person has even moved into home ownership, so it’s going very well.”
Was that sarcasm? There was a coffee retailer there for about a year. They operated out of the back of a converted VW combi. Quite cool, quite hip, quite urban, quite went out of business due to lack of interest. He still operates, just in other locales.AtD wrote:...That courtyard would have been a great place for a coffee cart.
no no no no no, please no. Oh my god, is it a high school, or a hospital, no its a brand new hotel on our Rundle Street, that will without doubt be approved simply caus its only 4 levels but looks totally shit boring. Whats with the silly balcony trying to replicate the current heritage building. Has Maras forced a work experience kid to draw this up has he?Ben wrote:The following is a render of the proposal for Rundle St which is to replace the building and land which currently house the "everfresh" mural. It is to be 4 levels with ground floor retail, and accomodation on the 3 levels above. The council planning staff have recommend the DAP support the proposal which is to be assessed by the DAC later in the year.
I heard of it but never saw it for myself. I thought the ACC shooed him away.monotonehell wrote:Was that sarcasm? There was a coffee retailer there for about a year.
