surely its not going to be those colours??

btw id like to see them fuck off the wide bit of tower 2, it looks rediculous!

the renders look pretty 'scatchy' ie just a quite sketch up... well one would hope... on the drawings it looked better, though like central park they are very bulkly on the lower levels

btw tower 2 looks like its sitting ontop of the marketing centre? are the going to demolish it when the time comes?

thats the food precint (cafes & bars)

GUYS!! im only going to say this ONE more time!
the heights of 152.4m and 171.4m are AHD or heights above Australian Height Datum! these figures are exactly what the planner told me months ago and i then posted on the forum! i then told everyone that the shorter tower (TOWER 2) is at RL2.5m thus 150m above ground!!
the taller tower (TOWER1) is at RL10.5m thus 161m above ground!!!

!!150m & 161m!
I know RLS can be VERY confusing for people not accustomed to them and sometimes miss -quoted in papers and even by planners/architects themselves.
okedoke!

Whens construction starting? Please be ASAP..

when they sell enough apts

sorted out on last page......
okay i had a look at the plans and the ground level height was aprox 17m and total height 172m aprox, so take 17 from 172 and thats the height from ground. the other tower that is down the hill has a ground level of something like 2m or something.....

Council approves $250m housing project development
Wednesday, 14 July 2004
The Perth City council has given property developers Westpoint approval to build two tower accommodation blocks on the old Emu Brewery site in Perth.

The $250 million housing project comprises more than 1,000 apartments, shops, offices and restaurants.

Urban planning group City Vision has been strongly opposed to the development claiming it is too big for the site and contravenes a height limit policy.

But after mediation with the WA Planning Commission, Westpoint has a proposal it expects will now get government approval.

does it still need wapc approval?

sorted out on last page......
wrong!! the road height 10.4m at the base of tallest tower, not 17m!
172.6 - 10.5 = 161m!!

btw i stated in the other thread that it wont be 152 and 171m high before you told us again

They could use the bit under the freeway for $100 - $150 per week apartments.lol

I gotta say I am happy with those renderings.

Those renders look like they were done on an overclocked Commodore 64. Let's hope we get some more professional renderings. LOL.

Towers planned for brewery site
One of Perth’s biggest and most strategic vacant lots will become a multi-storey residential and retail complex under plans approved by the City of Perth.

The Council has approved a two-tower development proposed for the old Emu Brewery site at the western end of the CBD. The 4-hectare site has been empty, and an eyesore, since the old brewery was demolished more than ten years ago.

Plans submitted by Greg Rowe and Associates, on behalf of Westpoint Developments, include a 52-storey tower and a 46-storey tower. The overall development includes 1010 residential apartments, 2319 square metres of retail floorspace, 1372 square metres of office floorspace, 1239 square metres of restaurant floorspace, a tavern and health-club facilities.

The Council has incorporated strong provisions relating to public space, landscaping and pedestrian access in its development approval. These provisions include:

-Public plaza areas within the development, containing landscaping, water features, furniture and lighting to a value of not less than $1 million

-unrestricted pedestrian access through the site

-public artwork to a value of not less than $300,000

-streetscape improvements in the vicinity of the site to a value of not less than $1 million

-a safe and efficient pedestrian connection from the site to the southern side of Mounts Bay Road, preferably an overpass, linking up with the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre and the river foreshore

The Council has also made the development conditional on retaining views between the site and Parliament House. The site is bounded by Mounts Bay Road, Mount Street, Spring Street and Mitchell Freeway.

The development application will now be referred to the WA Planning Commission for its determination.

They should have screwed more than $1mil of streetscape imrovements out of westpoint,but I guess they aren't getting off that lightly considering they have to link the conv centre to the site,landscaping etc.

sweet f.a. has happend since last update

will be going thorough WAPC atm

I thought it got past that? Or do you know when Chris?

in principle pre support but they need formal approval though

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid132/pc92d886fbb0aa2eb8cc13892d0aff229/f79de70d.jpg

So that's the last of the approval process. Now comes the wait with the marketing and sales. This is where we hold our breaths.

good pic.. but really this is more of a pic of mount street.........

thanks anyway :D its a great pic... shows how dense the area is but still so green :D

how high are they again? lol
good stuff. let the site begin! Perth needs these 500footers now!!

High enough :)

Guys, do you mind if part 2 of this thread is started since it is over 500 posts?

161m and 150m

Westpoint have re-lodged a DA for cinema city site.
-27 Levels 99m

fark...... have they even sold pac intl and paragon? give cin city to finbar or multiplex :D

they are dickheads. right now, a cinema city redevelopemt would probably benifit the city more than swan pan.

Swan Panorama apartments will sell like hotcakes to Singaporeans. It will also fit well with the Hay shed, which requires counterbalance. :)

Ok, well that's unexpected but gee I hope the market is ready for all this stuff.

is half still going to be a hotel?

the cinema upgrade is needed badly to compete with suburban cinemas, even cities as big and melbourne I read are having trouble keeping the CBD cinema viable, so the ugprade is much needed, to keep people coming to the CBD for movies, and to the CBD in general because coming to a movie means getting something to eat etc etc.. and it feeds on around the CBD economy, unlike the suburban ones where it goes to a mega malls food hall ie. 'macas mate'

I still go to the cinema city in perth everytime I go to a movie. Nice easy clean leather. I think that has something to do with the midnight shows. :p

yes its still a proposal for hotel/residential, I think it would be good having more hotels in the core CBD to get people closer/and create some action because adelaide terrace is a little isolated from the retail/entertainment precint heart

? isnt is on hay street? ... nowadays i rarely go to the CBD for shopping.. i go to Garden City.. everything under one roof and free parking :D...... i cant remember the last time i went to cinema city. have they still got that awful carpet :D>.. i like the jaws sushi in there :p very nice....... i think until there is more ppl living in the city center the cinema wont be popular there.... i think the toys r us location they had proposed was much better...... :D

its on hay and murray ie. cine centre and cinema city are both owned by same people.... I haven't been to a suburban mall to shop in atleast 2 years other than to pick up a free xpress mag or cash in a skratch and win ticket, I cant stand them, so fake, sterile, ugly, concrete, wigga, shazza dazza, fast food, commercial, car park driven dives yuck yuck yuck urban shopping all the way, but the more mega malls and sprawl the more dead the CBD will become, without people supporting the CBD it will die, say goodby to alot of tourist, goodbye jobs, life and vitality other than the suburban life, suburban malls are evil, bring back the corner store

i glad I got that out of me now of to mount lawley for hot choclate and cake:D
