From the Advertiser's website. Sounds like there'll be a render in the hard copy. If there is, I'll scan it in later:



Tower for old 'Tiser site
By LOUISE TRECCASI
03may06
THE former home of Advertiser Newspapers will be demolished and replaced by a high-rise office tower.

The Tower 2 project at 121-129 King William St will be part of the $600 million City Central redevelopment transforming a city block.

Adelaide City Council has approved the Caversham Property Developments project on the site vacated by the newspaper in October. Tower 2 will be adjacent to the 21-storey Tower 1 project in Waymouth St, to be completed this year.

The latest artist impressions have been released for Tower 2, which will provide 13,000sq m of office space over 12 levels, with ground floor retailing.

The new building will be designed and built to achieve a five-star green rating from the Green Building Council of Australia and a five-star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating for energy efficiency.

More than 90 per cent of the demolished building will be recycled. Asbestos removal is under way at the site and demolition is expected to be complete by September.

Caversham investment, sales and leasing manager Ben Yates said potentially hazardous material would be completely sealed and contained within the Tower 2 site.

He said the second tower would provide advanced technologies and be a leader in sustainable development.

"The sheer scale of the City Central development will change the face of the Adelaide CBD forever," he said.

The City Central project also proposes to transform the landmark GPO building into an international-standard hotel and shopping complex. The hotel tower would be built behind the existing heritage-listed GPO building.

No render in today's Advertiser unfortunately, but I don't imagine it'll be long before it's out.

cant wait for a render... if its U/C surely there should be a render which is publically accessable...yes?

anyway, its good to see you back on ssc Pants :)

ohh my thread was deleted - oh well

anyway, its good to see a expect back on ssc!!!

Not sure why it'd be good to see me around, but cheers guys.

I should get a photo round up on here soon, so I'll make myself a bit more useful.

This development sounds nice, so this is the new advertiser building? (Just double checking)

From Pants post of the Advertiser article. It was this quote down the end that is of interest. It looks as though Caversham are still interested in a hotel complex behind the GPO etc... If bentham goes up and this hotel too that part of town will look really good.

I bet in 10 years time not to mention 20 years Adelaide will look a different city. With City Central, SA Water, SANTOS and IAG on Flinders, some new buildings on King William and the City West project etc. Hope its just the start of better things to come.

No mate, the new Advertiser building's just west of the City Central 1 tower that's under construction on Waymouth Street.

This building's just a general office tower that will be built in place of the old Advertiser building.

the new tower will be 50m high? thats 2m higher then current advertiser bldg.
good to see it happening

I'm glad they are knocking this one down and starting from the ground up, much more exciting that way :) Will certainly allow CC1 to take centre stage for a while when it is demolished.

Cool, thanks, thats what I thought but it confused me.

Crane base is now on site too.

The crane base is double the size it was yesterday maybe it will go up over the long weekend?

Most cranes seem to go up on a weekend, so I'm guessing tomorrow. I also noticed that the base seemed bigger but wasn't sure if it was or not. Thought I was seeing things!!!

Hopefully this building will be mostly demolished by say the end of winter with new construction being well underway by the new year.

Whats the chances of anything happening over the long weekend?

Indeed they do.
Busiest part of the skyline, three cranes up at once.

brilliant photos as usual aceman!!

Finally 3 cranes! Go CityCentral.

from today, all assembled

great shot pikey :)

That is so good, I love cranes.

Is that building bieng converted or completly demolished? It looks quite modern and newish (90's?).

its getting completly demolished

the building isnt newish, it was built in the 70's (i think)

:| Its a 60's building - i think? I dont know but its OLD. and ugly. good to see it being re-done or demo'd whatevers happening.

Its not that bad really. Marble facade, sunshades too so it must have been renovated during the course of its life.

Not a great loss though.

Awesome shot pikey, almost as good as mine! Just jokes!!
I love the contrast between the stone of the GPO and the glass of CC1. That way both structures retain their integrity.

The old Advertiser building was built in 1957 and was called the MLC building. It was Adelaides first modern building.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d9/MaximumForce/cc_cc2aMLC57p.jpg

^^^^^^^

Wrong. The MCL building still stands. That shot you have there is looking up Franklin from Flinders. You can see the GPO on the right in that shot.

Good golly, yes... I am wrong, that is not the old Advertiser building. I always thought that was looking at that shot. Well that's a bit embarrassing! But maybe you can let me off the hook a bit considering it was taken 50 yrs ago and things looked a bit different (even though the GPO buiilding is there!)

Guess it's time I posted these then:

^^Posted what?

My God Pants they are excellent renders. I have never seen such quality renders for a project in Adelaide before! I am guessing they are the ones you couldn't show until now, they are fanatastic mate, great job. CC2 is terrific. I am glad they have lost the blank wall on the southern side and added the glass cube sections, this is going to be amazing visually from Victoria Square. I would say probably one of the best office buildings to come for Adelaide. Looks as though it is still in the concept stage but the 20 storey office tower above the GPO looks to have been cut down to around 8 or so in the 2nd render, maybe shade issues onto Victoria Square?

Wow those are great! I like the look of the place in the second render, However the "pods" on tower2 I don't like. Great renders they didn't show before when I first loaded page.

What a fantastic addition to Adelaide's architecture. This building should certainly raise the bar. I agree with u Laz Vegaz, i dont really like the 'podz' but i guess it'll look different.

Overheard one of the construction workers say they intend to have the main structure totally demolished within 9 weeks... So might see construction Oct/Nov

From today -

As you can see its starting to get smaller!!!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i28/aceman33/SV500004-1.jpg

Just so I understand, will this building adjoin ANZ Tower (CC1) or be built as a stand-alone tower.
For the mods: Emporis have details updated, with final building height approved at 51m, 14 floors. Thread title can now be changed accordingly.

^^^^^^^^^^ you say that so much, it's lost all meaning

Is that a lifting collar on the crane for cc2? That building is coming down so quick. When it is totally demolished there are going to be some great views of cc1.

Advertiser building is as good as gone. Just removing the ground floor now. How long would it take for construction to start? Do they need to do much digging on the site? Maybe start to see construction from November?

Tower block for Advertiser site

Article from:
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,20565473-2682,00.html

http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5272061,00.jpg

THIS is the first look at plans for an office tower to replace the former home of Advertiser Newspapers.

The old building, on the corner of King William and Waymouth streets, has been demolished, with work starting on its high-rise office replacement, City Central Tower 2.
The new images have been released to The Advertiser by developer Caversham which is selling Tower 2 for more than $70 million.

It will be sold with a 10-year pre-commitment from international chartered accountants Ernst & Young, who will take up 30 per cent of space.

Tower 2 will provide more than 12,000sq m of office space over 12 levels, with ground floor retailing.

It will feature landscaped open plazas, interconnecting walkways and a double-level basement with 56 on-site car parks.

Tower 2 will be next to the 21-storey Tower 1 project nearing completion in Waymouth St and should be completed by January, 2008.

It has been designed by Woods Bagot to achieve a five-star green rating from the Green Building Council of Australia and a five-star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating for energy efficiency.

Cant wait, for this building to go up

Up goes the crane for this one. Not the best pic, crane is just off to the left. Large frames over King William Street and another arriving. Taken today. Can also see this one going up on the following webcam:

thanks for all of your updates urban

yeah thanks urbansg

From yesterday, coming along nicely. The shape of the ground floor is visible, with the slanty concrete bits.

http://photoadelaide.com/JunkPile/2007-01-23/picture%20007_std.jpg

has it been mentioned that Ernst & Young will have naming rights?

Yeah, think so

oh cool, Ernst and Young should be a good addition to the skyline i think.

I spy a core!
http://www.photoadelaide.com/JunkPile/2007-02-02/picture%20006_std.jpg

thanks mate for the updates. The ground floors looks like its going to be very high, which isnt a bad thing at all :)

Nah. You can see from the north, the first floor is set back off King William Street further than the second.

Also, looking at the renders Pants posted, there's a big vehicle access ramp leading underground where there are trees in the render.

this is probably the best location for an office building in Adelaide. so prominent and central. hope it doesnt turn out like anything from flinders link

amen to that

btw congrats on your 1000th post :)

For those interstate, not checking the SA Forum, this tower was purchased for $80 million this week by SachsenFonds. A record rate per square metre for Adelaide at $6,500 a square metre, average is between $3,500 and $4,500 in Adelaide. So good news. Obviously doesn't really compare to other cities but good for here. :) Next floor is going up. Pic from this morning:

Goes to show you that the statement "Build it and they will come" actually
has some trueth to it, hopefully the developers will now be pressed to building the other office tower and the hotel tower on the site.

looks like you're getting a nice little cluster there.

Love this pic. It was taken by Buildit from Sensational Adelaide on 07.05.07. Looks as though it was taken from the old Reserve Bank building where an upgrade is currently occuring. As you can see it had just been raining too. Awesome yellow/gold tinge on Santos and CC1 that night which I saw from Vic Square where it was very obvious. Wish I had my camera then. :bash:

^^

this photo makes ANZ look like it was built in the 50's.

Kind of agree .. problem is too much 'clear' glass and what seems like shutters/blinds on each and every window .. when these are all drawn down at different lengths it makes the building look ugly and not uniform .. plus I don't like the fact you can see into the building .. seeing desks, chairs, filing cabinets. Looks cheap and nasty! Perhaps tint the glass!?

Also note in that photo you can see CC2's floorplates start to over-hang the building to the south.

great shot

the "pods" i assume

i wonder how they will turn out...they could look shocking.

its hard to believe this building got a 5 star green rating if the glass is so transparent.

The more transparent glass means they don't need to have lights on at all in this building during large parts of the day. The lighting is in rows instead of squares blocks as well which allows for more felixibilty and less lighting. The shade features on the northern facade adequately shade the building in summer and allow sun in during winter. Highly reflective 80's glass is a thing of the past. Council's no longer allow it due to reflection issues. If you think this building looks like it was built in the 50's well :bash: :ohno:

Going up fairly quick now. Can see the glass clips are up on the lower floor levels. Glass shouldn't be too far away now. I would expect a crane rise too in the near future. Pic taken yesterday.

the corebox is quite visible from the hilton now

looking good

cheers urban

Pics from late this afteroon. First sign of glass! This glass is for the small different coloured section that is meant to blend better with the nearby heritage building. Meant to be a square area over about two floors. The northern-most glass pane is green but if you look at the renders, the CC1 type, flush green glass will come one more pane north of this. Exciting to see glass on King William Street for a change. :)

Not sure what's happening with the advertising? Maybe re-doing it. Bit of a blurry pic:

When I quickly rode past today I noticed they were dismantling the enclosed pedestrian thoroughfare that sticks out onto King William St. Just wondering if they will be moving it inwards to allow the extra lane in King W St. Anyone know?

eastadl I reckon you might be right. Not sure though. Can get a bit tricky there with all the buses in peak hour. It still works though. Might be taking it in over the footpath now that most of the work is on the upper floors.

Went a bit nuts photographing CC2 this afternoon.

Who said Adelaide had an ageing population:) Bit of in-car glare:

Huge section in today's Advertiser about the City Central project, a lot of different articles. It was all fairly uplifting to read for a change. Here is the clearest, most up-to-date render I have seen for CC2, from today's Advertiser:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d22/UrbanSG/cc2recent.jpg

Another fact from the articles was that CC1 has been 100% leased now as well. That is a great effort. It shows the demand for modern, green office space is big in Adelaide. Sounds like they are still aiming for the CC3 office tower but it sounds like it will definitely be a re-design. The GPO hotel proposal is still a goer too by the sounds of the articles. A year or two before we see these though I reckon. Next one is the small-scale Electra House refurb and glass additions which will be good.

Anyone else notice in the bottom left insert there's a three story tall traffic light?

Guess it's time I posted these then:

It used to look so much better!

Wonder why they've cut down on the glass and glass pods and replaced it with... concrete.

Cool shots AtD! Went up very fast. I'm sure the concrete surface will get the alpolic panel treatment.

BTW What does a frog have to do with it? *rebbit*

Because its a green development :lol:

CC2 is progressing well. Good to see that glass on the 4th floor now. I like the way it isn't flush with the other floors, which keeps with CC1's design, this feature looks even better in person. Not many floors to go now, we could loose the crane from this site soon too. Electra House is also starting to get its treatments now. Pics from this arvo:

So about another 4 floorplates to go, plus top ceiling?

Because its a green development :lol:Indeed. How silly of me :doh:

I think this one has topped out now. Looking good so far. Will be interesting to see some glass applied to the southern elevation pods, could turn out well imo. Pics from today:

CC2, hating the exposed concrete. Wish they would do something with it. Signage at the top may help but it looks like they may leave the rest exposed. They are also fixing the panles on CC1 which were put on incorrectly (too many lighter ones in the wrong spots I think, plus a broken one). Pic from today:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d22/UrbanSG/08-1222.jpg

The southern facade of CC2 has turned out quite a blunder. Whilst the E&Y signage would cover up the concrete atop, the concrete wall below is just drab. I would hope that one of the newer CC developments cover it up in some way, but not sure if thats possible because the Electra House and GPO are in the way, and there is no way they'll be demolished.

Very close to completion now. We should see some signage on it soon. All the floors were lit up last night and it looked great (lights are still on inside today). The top 3 floors for Ernst and Young have been fitted out and have furnture in them. The 2 floors below have not been fitted out and the floors below are fitted out with no furniture yet as yet.

She sure looks great from the North-East, doesn't she?
Trouble is with her southern appearance, could be better, but other then that she hasn't turned out too bad, hey.

The City Central project is a confusing one for me, but as far as I'm aware a small office tower will be built on the GPO, so her southern appearance will be blocked out anyway.

Can't wait for her ground floor tenancies to open up, and for signage to go up. Not long now. :D

Just like to add; Electra house will be looking fresh soon too.

The City Central project is a confusing one for me, but as far as I'm aware a small office tower will be built on the GPO, so her southern appearance will be blocked out anyway.

The GPO is being converted into boutique retail. Its external appearance won't be altered in any way. We're stuck with this.

Sorry my mistake, I got confused with CCT4;

Image from Ben on SA (http://www.sensational-adelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=951&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p13042).

^^ Sorry back again,
Indeed I was right in saying that tower 4 will block tower 2's southern appearance.
Tower 4 has been placed on the northern side of the GPO.

Further releases from Woods Bagot will clear things up I guess.

Looks like we don't have to worry about the 'pods' for long and sounds like something exciting is currently being planned for the city that could even be better than 20-22 Currie St!

Got it in one. The reason the core was relocated to the southern side, is due to that very fact. The only southern view would be of this other tower, so in an effort to maximise floor space, the core was offset with external pods for the toilet, and to break up a flat wall. Plus they could build over the heritage listed Electra house airspace.

It'll take time, but the development needs to be looked at wholistically, rather than at individual towers. Trust me, once the whole site is developed in around 7 years time, CC2's wall, and the "plain" design of CC1 won't be an issue, don't forget that the "focal tower" hasn't even been released yet, and I'm sure Woods Bagot have something well worth the wait.

Despite the exposed concrete wall there are parts of CC2 I like a lot. The new Ernst and Young signage looks good. The ground floor details for this building are looking great so far. For example the lift foyer area near Electra House which has access to King William Street has been opened and you can see the brick wall of Electra House which is a great mix between heritage and new. Also a walkway between Waymouth Street and the centre of the City Central block underneath CC2 is a nice touch. Great connections throughout the entire block will really make the whole City Central development very unique. Pics from today:

A lot of financial institution signage for a so called 'backwater':

Nice shots Urban. It's a shame about the southern core, now I see what everyone's complaining about!

Urban SG, in the skylines of Aus thread you wrote theres gonna be another 17 storey tower to the left of the ANZ . I had no idea about this is, I must have been daydreaming not to pick that up. Is this going to be CC4.
I thought the new Advertiser building was CC1, the ANZ tower was CC2, and the new building on the cnr was CC3. Can anyone explain it to me. Whats the one going in that gap on KWS between GPO and Ernst & Young. Im confused now.

West of ANZ is the new Advertiser HQ (Murdoch House). That's not considered part of City Central. CC1 is ANZ, CC2 is Ernst & Young.

The City Central project changes every five minutes. City Central 3 is the Electra House refit (3 levels) immediately south of CC2. The next tower will be 17 level office block, CC8, on Franklin Street.

Check out my list and map (http://buildinglist.photoadelaide.com/) - as far as I know that's the current state of City Central.

So True!, There is still a high chance of their being a 100m+ or even a tower taller than Westpac House. There have been reports that their will be a 'landmark' tower and we there is huge demand atm (especially for apartments).

I think people on S-A have once again jumped the gun.
