A couple of pics from today. the first pre cast panels were going up today.

From the weekend:

A quick update from lunch time today 14 Mar 2017.

Update as at 4/4/17 view from rear in Austin St (off Pulteney St); now at level 3.

Does anyone know how this site will impact the tram construction later this year? The hoardings out the front of this site mean the left hand lane is currently closed to traffic.

The tram extension will result in the removal of the centre lane of traffic. Will North Terrace just have the single west bound lane for the duration of construction? Or will the hoarding be reduced in size, allow the left hand lane to open?

Picture from this afternoon. Starting to take a bit of shape. The concrete columns up to the northern wall appear to be the biggest difference since the last photos.



The rear seems a bit more advanced with the installation of some of the exterior concrete panels, and I imagine that the front will look pretty similar. It's difficult to take a photo since the street is so narrow, unless you take it from an angle like EBG has done.

Great update photos

Hi Slenderman, good picture of the front and back.
I did pass by the back of the site today . Now at level 5.(Wed 26/4/17). Pictures of the back will become more difficult as the building grows.

Great pics.

Must say, crying shame and massive lost opportunity re: the corner west facade of the building next door that was revealed after the demoltion of Elizabeth House, only for it to be covered right back up again. Would have been awesome if the approval were contingent on a portion of the building being set in from the street a few metres so as to preserve the view. Seems we put a lot of weight on heritage protection, but not so much on whether that heritage can be seen.

on the other hand, the west facade looks exactly like the east facade of the building and that can be seen rather clearly. So I don't think preserving the west side view would add much.

This project is making good progress. Picture 17/5/17. Now at level 6.

Looks to be a mezzanine floor in there, do we count them in the total?

Yes we should count the mezzanine floor because the mezzanine floor is only set back at the front.- at the rear this is a separate floor, so make it " Now at level 7 "

From this afternoon. As you can see, they've started installing some of the exterior precast concrete panels on the northern facade. I'd say that the core is now about as tall as that other student accommodation next door.
