I think a special exception should be made for this case where the appeal can go ahead if they agree to tear down the shoebox they themselves put up next door.

Put the 100m one in Dwell's place.

The term "shoebox" is very generous. Lots of other words come to mind when I see that thing.

Shoebox isn't what I actually wrote, it seems my autocorrect decided to go with a more polite term.

I'm pretty sure Samaras sold Dwell well before it was finished, I think to a super fund etc. That's the thing with these deals, its all based on price/yield and number crunching while the aesthetics don't play a part [obviously]. Its actually in the developers [and buyers] interest to minimise all costs to make the deal work/more attractive.

This may have been said already: I reckon the reason for the huge core is because there's two of them, one for the hotel and one for the apartments. When the hotel section is done the apartment's core will continue up by itself.

HOLY CRAP. Wow ok, I don't know how I did it but I did it!

Here are two photos of the Adelaidean I took on Wednesday, October 31.

The facade has to be top notch on this one... It's going to stand out like dog's bullocks, so a poor result will be a blight. Fingers crossed.

Yes I agree, the podium is so large it dominates the area/views and it will have to be topnotch finishing to pull it off.

A different view from near Adelaide Uni, North Tce & Pulteney St- rising up between its neighbours. 5/11/2018.

The core on this tower is now visible from Fullarton road.

Top of the core can be seen from Rymil Park

View from bent St (south of Rundle St). 15/11/2018

I think that is the podium done.

I'd love to see that Ted's building replaced. So out of place with the rest of the strip.

The proof will be when the core is reconfigured, that should happen soon by the looks of things.

Agreed. In-fact, I'd love to have see it demolished and simply turned into a pedestrian walkway, opening up Tavistock Lane more. Then there might even be some opportunities to convert some of the ground level space of the carpark into tenancies (similar to what they've done with the Frome Street carpark.
