Hey cul not sure about the other buildings but you can update the Big E floorplates to Level 54 - that is where there is currently concrete, while the scaffolding reaches to about 56/57 ..

So basically the floorplates have pretty much reached the first major setback point..

It's hard to believe FWP1 will be so tall! Full strength Prima would be awesome!

thanks for making the effort culwulla
wooo so youre telling me we're going to be seeing the first eureka set back soon?
hurrah!

Nice job as usual CUL !

Lozza :bowtie:

Boo yeah! Also can't wait to see the first stepback and what it does for the tower :)

Thats awesome Cul well done how come theres no construction going on today?

Off until next Monday.

WHAT!!! why's that Australian day break?

most construction sites gave workers today off and tommorrow is RDO for most so unions voted for a 5 day break (from Aust day to monday 31st jan) not bad hey.
no rest for the wicked.lol

Hmm, I can't seem to delete this message. Refer to Cul's post above :)

Ohhhh man i cant wait another 5 days for work i have no patience lol

No shit

Wicked being the appropriate word. Just back from having how many weeks off at Christmas and already having another week off!!
S L A C K ! ! ! ! :bleep:

yes wicked - especially when its a beautiful day and the idea of being up on site is so tempting - checking on the construction of course - and you can't cause it is a total lockdown. so here i sit stuck in the office....

MELBOURNE
summary
well, were do i start.May was the "top out" month. Towers to top out were>
Eureka,SX,E&Y Plaza & Vic point. Eurekas floors are at lev77.FWP is rising quick with core at just under 50.RDT & UWS are also going great guns with topping out within a couple of months.The cores of Verve,Milano,Dock5 & Eifel are now well above street.



http://img153.echo.cx/img153/7870/melbjun20055cq.jpg

Hey Mr C, if E&Y has toped out, then there are still a few more floors to go to reach the top.

^ yes, im pretty sure there are a couple of floors to go.i think the actual concrete core has topped out. this happens alot with some bldgs. the upper most floors are sometimes steel framing which plantroom is built from.

wow, half way throught year already?
summary-
Some of these i had to guess due to no updates.hope there right?lol
The big E is slapping floors up quite fast now. Up to lev81 atm.FWP,E&Y,SX,RDT,UWS & Vic point are all either topped out or about to.Eifel , Dock5 & Verve are rising now but Milano is slow.Ive just added Neo200 as site is now being piled.

Someone needs a new set of Derwents ;)

^ nothings certain but it will eventually get approved.i have it on good authority. ;) :runaway:

It was meant to be approved around the end of March/April, if I remember correctly..

It must have undergone some significant new design changes if they are taking this long because I'm pretty sure it's not the end of March/April any more.

Cheers,

Adam

What's the Brady project on City Road, close to Clarendon ? Rather ugly pre-fab looking building leaving blank sides for future high-rise neighbors, I guess ...it looks set to achieve these lesser heights.

such a shame, i liked the design... plus as gimmicky as it is, having the highest pool would be pretty cool.

all we actually know is that the site ownership has changed hands.

wait, what is Grand central, and how tall will it be? I never heard of it before....

^ the site is where the 300m Grand central project was proposed back in the 1990's.
Now to be known as 538 Collins st.- 28st/120m
