Sounds like a pretty massive development here. Same developer as 400 KWS and 16 Coglin St.

Type Development Application Received
Application Number: DA/322/2010
Lodgement Date: 4/05/2010
Location: 58-76 Franklin Street, ADELAIDE SA 5000
Description: Demolish existing building fronting Franklin Street, construct further 5 levels to existing Young Street car park, reclad facade and upgrade existing retail tenancies. Construct 16 level residential building and 19 level office building.

Imagine if all proposed developments on Franklin St happen:

CCT8 - 21 Lvls
CCT6 - Hotel
CCT4 - Office
58-76 Franklin Street - 19 lvl office
58-76 Franklin Street - 16 lvl resi
42-56 Franklin St - 15 & 17 level Office (8 level carpark)
17 - 83 Franklin St - 13 level office
The Loft - 7 levels
2nd Balfours tower - 18 Levels
Bus stations tower 1 - 18 levels
Bus stations tower 2 - 18 levels
Bus stations tower 3 - 18 levels

Hrmph, more carparking on the same block that that 8 level carpark is getting built - it's literally right next door.

The plot on Franklin St is smaller than the plot that the carpark stands on, is there any indication that one of the two towers will actually be built on the carpark?

Great news! This is another strong indicator that the good times are back!

it is a bit ambigous. I am hoping.... it will be carpark then office then resi equaling a building of 45 levels...

No, let's not have the street-level view be just a carpark - put that up the top, a penthouse for cars. Imagine getting out of the car, taking a deep breath and one last look across the city before heading back over to the elevator. I wonder how long it would take to get up that ramp?

We can all dream Ben . At 19 levels I'd be guessing around the 60m mark and since it's from the same blokes that did 400 KW I would be pretty confident in the designs looking awesome.

This is the location of the Just Kidding building - right?

And the garden shop next to it, and carpark behind it.

Agreed!!Won't know Franklin St soon. Will be even better if ODX gets going, although recent economic developments through the feds may put an end to that.

BTW - was'nt the financing of 400KWS done differently to normal - something to do with private finance carrying the developer through the GFC. Bodes well for this project.

ADELAIDE - TOWARDS A GREATER CITY SKYLINE

By the power of greyskull!! Franklin St will look awesome in a decade's time if these go ahead

Fantastic news, that area in particular needs a major facelift so it's good to see something starting to happen there now with all those projects.

positive news. Ive always found Franklin St to be by far, the worst street in Adelaide, however the new bus station, the precinct towers and these new developments will make a much better change.

Did I read another carpark. shutup jk1237

Sounds very promising

Franklin Street has been given a makeover in the past year or so, majority of the stobie poles have been removed and replaced with new street lights.

Also the Metropolitan Hotel is currently closed for renovations.

Great news Sign of the start of more proposals? Hope so

We have plenty of proposals. What we need is construction!
