An $8m, eight-storey residential building in Wayville will be the first of its kind in the local area, an application to the State Commission Assessment Panel reveals.
J&K Empire Pty Ltd has lodged plans for an eight-storey mixed use building with residential apartments, a cafe and carparking at 126 Rose Terrace.

It would include 25 residential apartments of “various sizes and configurations” from level one to seven and the cafe, ancillary car and bike parking on the ground floor.
Senior planning officer Renae Grida submitted “direct and unreasonable” views into open spaces and windows would be minimised by “spatial separation” and the apartment layouts.
“By way of the main living areas orientated to the north and south with only narrow secondary windows facing east and west,” she wrote.
She also considered an increase in vehicle traffic was at acceptable levels and the project would provide a “high-quality alternative housing product for the local area”.
Ms Grida said the building’s height exceeded “the envisaged guideline” by one storey and three metres, but it would not result in any “unreasonable or mismanaged external amenity impacts”.
“The development is considered appropriate in this city-fringe location, and is aided by the various public transport and alternative transport links to and from the city, and other prominent locations within metropolitan Adelaide,” she wrote.
She found the project had a “minor shortfall” in carparking spaces — 34 are proposed for the site — but this was also acceptable.
“The development also positively contributes to streetscape amenity through the provision of landscaping and high-quality design outcomes,” her submission read.
Meanwhile, consultant PBA said the building would be the “first of its kind” in the immediate area and would establish an “appropriate benchmark for subsequent development”.
“In terms of the quality of design, dwelling amenity and function, ground level activation and presentation, and relationship to its neighbours,” it submitted.
It also submitted the parking shortfall was “inconsequential”.
Unley Council’s chief executive officer Peter Tsokas submitted to the panel that issues with overlooking and overshadowing were adequately dealt with.
“But ultimately with likely similar development in area, and particularly to the north, resulting direct views will be an interesting future challenge,” Mr Tsokas said.
The application will be assessed by the panel on Wednesday.
