[PRO] 299 - 309 Pirie Street | 94m | 28 Levels | Mixed Use

[Ben]

New development to be announced soon.

This is the site next to the apartment building that just went up on Pirie Street?

New development to be announced soon.

Any hint on the scale of what's to be announced?

This is the site next to the apartment building that just went up on Pirie Street?

Yeah, the old Red Cross building.

[Norman]

The site has a rather large footprint, so there should be a lot of apartments. Should be interesting to see how tall this one will be.

[Ben]

This site is a catalyst site due to its large size which means no height limit.... So this is quite underwhelming. Existing building is 3 levels.

Application Number: S10/3/2021
Type: Schedule 10
Lodged: 20/01/2021
Location: Australian Red Cross, 299-309 Pirie Street, ADELAIDE SA 5000
Description: Demolition of all existing structures and construction of an eight (8) storey mixed use building with a completed height of 32.45 metre

8 levels?

[NTRabbit]

Hilariously short, but just tall enough to block the parklands views of the East End Apartments next door, the worst of both worlds

I don't know if this a legally valid reason to reject an application, but this one should be rejected on the basis that it does not maximise the development potential of a catalyst site.

Its past that stage its recommended for approval next week

I agree Shuz its massive under development of such a large site.

There's two proposed office developments in this area of a similar height and neither seem any closer to being built after a while on the market, which makes me dubious this one will do any better.

[Norman]

I kinda like the design, especially the focus on natural lighting and end-of-trip facilities. The height isn't ground breaking, but fairly good for the location being almost at the end of Pirie Street.

Internal demo has been underway for a couple of weeks on site. Royal Park Salvage signage up on the Pirie St. looks as though this development is underway.

299-309 Pirie St, the former Red Cross building, is being demolished by Royal park Salvage Picture (2/7/2022).
