Changes to this are:

Casino Towers and Aurora now under construction. Observatory Tower, Lexicon and Flynn to be added as under construction.

333 Ann St and Baroque to be added as proposed.

Devine mystery in Charlotte St to be deleted as site up for sale.

If anyone is able to amend map or create a new version please do so!

Where is Lexicon going?

Lexicon is located at the corner of Ann and Wharf Streets.

Hey Culwulla

Can you make this thread sticky please.

To other forummers

Please feel fee to update map if you have the skill with Paint, Paintshop or whatever!

Im working on making a 3d map, with all proposed, approved and under construction projects coloured. It will show locations and also give indication of heights, inter relationships etc. And I'll be able to update the model and repost a new pic, when new towers are approved etc. Coming soon.

Cool Brisbane2....looking forward to it.

There's a nice map of the city at http://www.travelonline.co.nz/travelguide/aus/brisbane-city.jpg

I would only make a mess of it :D

This might be of some use to some of you!!

I look forward to seeing your work then.....

Okay, I've set up a first draft of the new "Map for underconstruction/proposed." Keep in mind its only a draft at this stage. Eventually the black buildings will not be black, there will a legend with the buildings all numbered and named, All streets will be named. And obviously all relevant UC and Prop. bldgs will be colour coded.

Im trying to produce a map that both shows where bldgs are (like a map) while also trying to give some impression of height and density.

Before I go on and put any real effort into the production of a final image, Id like some opinions about what else should be included, any modifications people would like to see.

And most importantly Id like to know of any ways in which the image may be made more understandable. Place yousefl in the shoes of either a newbie to the site or an interstate forummer who doen't know all that much about Brisbane's layout. Is it clear? Can one easily find one's bearing? Should I somehow mark the landmarks? LIke southbank, Storey Bridge, Queens Street Mall etc.

Also at this stage I can only upload the image to Geocities, which needs to be reached through a link. Is this suitable? Or is it too much hassle to click on a link? Also do you think that the image takes too long to load? Do you think it should it be bigger, smaller? etc.

Click here --> http://www.geocities.com/brisbane_australia2000/BrisModel/031119th_MAP.html

That is truly an impressive piece of work Brizbane2.

I think you are definitely heading in the right direction. Hopefully with the assistance of the moderators this could be hosted directly rather than having to be linked - that would be an improvement. As to size , that is really difficult. There is no way that the level of detail will fit into anything smaller - the only possibility would be to split it into sections - but that would to a large extent defeat the purpose of the map. Maybe a compressed version to give an overview which could link to the detailed map or sections.

Your work is so good that we should be lobbying to get it included in the ourbrisbane website.

I have to agree..... it was excellent.
Although I thought it was a bit big, cause Im on a 56k - but it was worth the wait.
Good work, keep it up.....

is there a bigger clearer version of that map

Not unless you make one.

BrizzyChris - I think the 'new southbank tower' is Theiss' second building.. late reply there.

As for a new map - I might add it to my rather large 'to do' list - but anyone else can feel free to jump in and do their own! :-)

^^ i spose i might try one later.

Here's my first attempt at a map - not all that good sorry - couple of southbank buildings missing because the map isn't big enough, and skyline is 'indicative only' (it doesn't really fit but I put it in anyway).

http://img68.photobucket.com/albums/v206/Ausilencer/Ausmap_jun04.gif

that may not be as neat and professional looking as the others... but its much easier to read and find out where things are. good work.

Dedece have just emailed me, they have 900 projects in Oz listed on there site which is (woops, not about to copy-paste the url). Anyway, the company is Dedece which I suppose would be easy to track on Google. Will try again to get the url.

heres a diagram showing Brisbanes skyscrapers that are UC and planned with current tallest in centre for comparison

Excellent Cul, let's hope those big ones on the right get the go ahead.

What is the project by the big stone church just over from Riparian along Charlotte and Liz. There is a big hole by the church now. :booze:

I believe its some sort of plaza (open space) being developed by the church

There we go, Post #76 in the Brisbane News thread. From Jay T:

Release of plans for Brisbane Cathedral Precinct

The Archdiocese of Brisbane has released architect plans for the completion of the St Stephen's Cathedral Precinct project, which will start in mid-January.

The Catholic Leader reports that the project beside the cathedral will comprise four levels - two below the level of the cathedral grounds and two above - and is expected to be completed in mid-December 2004.

Key elements of the design include:
• Covered space for use when liturgical celebrations begin outside the cathedral, such as the Easter Vigil.
• Hospitality areas for gatherings before and after cathedral services.
• Areas for clergy to vest for liturgies.
• Practice rooms for the cathedral's three choirs.
• Offices for cathedral administration and the bishops.
• St Paul's Book Centre.
• Meeting rooms
• Additional car parking spaces for cathedral worshippers.

John Holland Pty Ltd submitted the successful tender for the project, and the contract price is $11.6 million.

Brisbane Archdiocese, in announcing the project last Wednesday, said no welfare or mission work of the archdiocese would be curtailed by the project, which is being funded from diocesan investments and income from Church tenancies.

It hopes the project will enhance not only the liturgical and pastoral life of the cathedral but the life of the city as well.

Archbishop Bathersby said he's delighted with the project coming to fruition "as for many years the cathedral has effectively been breathing with only one lung".

http://img51.exs.cx/img51/3656/brisbanefeb2005better2ej.jpg

Thanks Culwulla. Aurora is the definite first place getter with Casino Towers bringing up second place.

I'm confident that the corebox will come off Casino Towers in the next week or two (openings visible in the rear of the core seem to relate to the roof area - level 40 - rather than the top residential level - level 39) and that the last concrete pours will occur before the end of February.

nice work again cul. Look at Aurora powering along there!

Bris square is going quite slow.. due to bassive floor plates?

GC is the best :)

Brisbane has got 192 completed.
Gold coast has 227.

Dont add in cancelled and other projects.

I dont mind GC having more scrapers, Brisbane is still the Skyscraper capital of QLD.

i use the 300ft or 90m height as a true reflection of a tall bldg.
when you see how many are in each city it gives a good perpective on how big it is.
Brisbane atm has 41 completed with another 5 Uc , thus total-46 in 2006.
with 12 more planned.
GC currently has 46x 90m+ scrapers + 12uc ,total for 2006= 58.
planned x90m+ = 13.

summary
over 90m/300ft (2006)
GC- 58
Brisbane-46
---------

give you an idea how big Sydney is, it currently has 112 x 90m+ scrapers with 8 uc, thus 120 in 2006.
Melybourne has currently 74 x 90m+ scrapers with 11 uc, total in 2006= 85.
for your interest

Auckland-15 uc-3
Perth- 12 uc-0
North Syd-5 uc-2
Chatswood-4 uc (2 planned to start soon)
Adelaide-4 uc- (11 waymouth st is 84m, so close)

Cool.

Ipswich will be joining that list soon to with a 16 story residential approved. According to ICC it will be the first of many to rejuvenate the CBD.

I went to Ipswich a week ago to the players nightclub....there are a couple of towers but aren't they enough for a scraper classifacation?

It does appear to require some updates more regularly though.

Where did that come from? :weirdo: (No offence)

From your relatively silly question. Most people here check the Skysraperpage diagrams on a regularly basis.

some of diagrams are excellent. some are shockers. Aurora & Brisbane Central need fixing.Riparians top resi section is weird?
With Aurora the main roof is actually under 200m (198m) and then the plantroom reaches 207m with blades.The blades dont actually go higher then the Plantroom. Brisbane centrals mian roof is 143m not 165m. there is a little LMR which goes to 151m.

wow cul, from your diagram and seeing aurora it has sped along quite quickly. The rest seem to be making pritty average progress

ive edited in Mon Mary. not sure of design. so i just drew typical 15m high podium.slim tower 140m with 5m plantroom. maybe new render might show new design

what ever happened to 40 Elizabeth Street?
was proposed..? now nothing on the DA finder thingo...

Tis approved. Malt said the other day that approved projects are removed from the DA database after a while.

Here's the thread> http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=153235

ive just edited in another big one. The Panorama Sky tower.impressive 5 nearly all 500ft!

hrm yeah i was 2nd last to post in that thread! lol
nothing much new it seems then..?
cheers anyway Oriolus i couldn't find that thread myself haha

On that note, when was panorama supposed to start?
Hey Cul. Did you move? Your location says Umina beach.

What happened to Evolution? No new news?

nope, but it looks like it'll eventually get up and going.

well big Aurora is powering along, now over 500ft. massive Brisbane Sq is also progressing along with Festival towers.others are still at excavation stage

^^
There isn't much happening any more is there...

Not really...but imagine when Vision, Charlotte, M on Mary, Panorama, 4 x Petrie Bight towers are all powering along mid-2006!

You can ad Skyline back now in ur next one.
M on Mary are apparantly excavating as is Charlotte Towers.

^ hey cul nice work but is panorama sky a goer or not? ive heard nothing about it

also, i walked past M on Mary the other day and there was nothing happening. theyve already dug one basement though. it wasnt an RDO so something must have happened. it has been quiet there from what I know.

Is skyline still on? Heard notin about it

There was a 30 minute property special on TV last weekend about Skyline - full steam ahead! Unless I am getting confused - the one down near the Story Bridge apartment area - last true river front spot?!

im only going on what some brissy members tell me. if foundations commence ill add tower to diagram. sometimes they come across problems which might delay excavations ect. I chatted to Skyline pano archietcs months ago and they were doing piling but DA was changing so this slows things down until final approval. very complicated process sometimes.

They're still excavating.

Man I wish they'd build that building - not on the vision site of course but somewhere else. It would be good on that big block on George Street or mabee as a stand alone tower in Southbank - what an icon! Can you imagine it perhaps rising up in Kangaroo Point. :cheers:

Sorry - but this building is ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS!

sif.

Its awesome.

But vision is better.

nup sorry. that building would have looks disgustingly hideous in our city and im glad it was rejected!

yeah! I dont really like it ether. It just wouldnt of fitted in. It's definatly different, but if you took the twirl off it then it would look like any other building.

I used to like Baroque, but despite it's uniqueness, it doesn't look that good anymore.

Are you guys serious, we could have had one of the most unique skyscrapers in the world with this scraper (not that I dont love its replacement). I reckon over the rail lines beside Roma St Station is the perfect spot for it.

I used to like Baroque, but despite it's uniqueness, it doesn't look that good anymore.
I think it would be good as a stand alone tower somewhere, not in the city as there are too many horizontal and vertical elements it would clash with. Perhaps if it was in Milton or Toowong it would be better. Atop Milton Station would be good. Another good place would be as a stand alone tower in Wollongabba.

I used to like Baroque, but despite it's uniqueness, it doesn't look that good anymore.

I agree. I was full on with this building because of the unique appearance but now I think it's just another 'one of those' buildings...I don't think it would've suit the Brisbane skyline anyways. Glad Vision is set to kik some arse! :D

I think Vision is a better tower. Though I adore Baroque as well... I'd love to see it built maybe somewhere like Kangaroo Point, Southbank, Milton or Wooloongabba :D

Is the Milton station that big?

if it were built in a stand alone position it would;

A. Still be ugly
B. Be like a Torbeck Apartments on Highgate Hill. Hideous yet heritage listed

Its a great design and 1 person dislikes it woo woo sif have a large convo/debate on it

Eat my balls.

Cul, can you update the first post please. like which buildings are completed, under construction, proposed etc. It's getting a bit confusing.

Cul I think you can probably remove Panorama from your drawings- the company behind them look almost certain to be shut down with ASIC in court against them at the moment. Maybe another developer will pick it up but pre-sales will be bloody hard with a nasty track record- I think investors may have lost $70 mil on the Brisbane dev alone.

Cheers Cul. Brizzy's going to seem a little empty for a while when Bris Square and Festival go.

^^ yeah but then Vision starts in a month and Emerald in a few months because they don't rely on pre-sales and hopefully Empire in 6 months...

^^We'll have enough to focus on with Vision...it almost wouldn't matter if there were only 5 highrises UC...even though there will be heaps by December this year!!!

Does anyone know if Empire Square has a website yet?

The developers are constructing a site for themselves atm...

Something starting with M.. lol.
Its in the Empire thread.

Thanks Malt, I'll check it out.

Do we have any up to date maps for the CBD, Petrie Bight Precinct and Southbank??

Hey Cul, do you have any updated diagrams on construction progress in Brisbane for this month?

does anyone know what Hutchinson is building at the toowong roundabout? next to the mazda dealer? It better be good! they have these concrete walls going up...
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i16/soulvisionQ1/newbuilding.jpg

^^From what I understand it's a car dealership. Looks swish!

I am pretty sure that this site will be Brisbane's newest BMW dealer...

Also, is there a Petrie Barracks thread????

The design of the Barracks redevelopment is out...The red circle is "THE BUILDING" That's meant to be a new Icon for Brissy! Can't wait to see it!!

Again, sorry guys, the Westside news from last week did have a great render of the new building, but i dont have a scanner.

^^ Ahh cool! so you saw it! What does it look like?

The view I saw was from the other side, but it's basically the same. A horizontal reflective cylinder. I still haven't found anything else on the net.

can someone update an aerial map of brisbane with new projects located that are uc,proposed and approved? there has been so much lately hard to keep up.

ive grabbed some aerials from gooearth
i split into 3. hope it covers enough area.
can someone locate the new towers?
I know its an old pic. but maybe colour code

From what I gather, they will go in the top left of the first pic where the bus ramp is. There is also evolution in the first pic on the far left above the first tree in the pic, on the corner.

Vision dwarfs the others!!!

when will vision be built?

should commence within a few months i think

How do we get http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/ updated? They don't seem to have 275 George Street or 400 George Street or 31 Tank Street or 501 Ann Street, and they have Domaine still proposed and Panorama Sky U/C.
484-502 Adelaide Street is listed at 138m when on emporis it's 158m.

Did not really see a great need to start a new thread, so I thought I would say it here.

Does anyone know anything about the plan to open up lanes in the CBD for dining in the way Melbourne does? Moreover, what time frame the project is proposed for? I heard places like Eagle lane, Market Street and Jacob's Ladder are involved.

what is this jacobs ladder?!? ive heard it countless times but have never been able to picture it...

^^If you read the Brisbane City Master Plan, it outlines this. BCC plans to create "A CBD circulation road loop that improves vehicular access, creates new public domain and allows a pedestrian focus in the cityheart." Most other streets in the CBD core will significantly decrease in width, creating tree lined avenues and wider pedesdtrian friendly streets, with more shopfronts. Also under the BCMP, BCC plans to 'recreate' many of those currently relatively unused laneways between buildings - or cross-block links - into the small laneways with shopfronts for cafes/restaurants/boutiques and the such (similar to as in Melborune). BCC also plans to extend Queen Street Mall at both ends.

what is this jacobs ladder?!?

I believe they are the stairs that go up through Albert Park onto Wickham Terrace; they can be pretty dangerous I believe. There does not seem to be a photo anywhere.

The style of dining Mayor ****** wants:
http://bobsyeruncle.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=43&g2_serialNumber=3

The only thing that comes close for Brisbane now are the cafes etcetera inside the Brunswick Street villages.

Wider pedesdtrian friendly streets, with more shopfronts.

Yay, we can finally start to counter out all the shops hidden inside the hideous Myer Centre.

^^ That is my favourite part of Melbourne CBD.

It would work great in Brisbane, not sure which lanes they could, or would, open up and allow pedestrian traffic to go through, aren't most laneways in Brisbane dead-ends?

Obviously, only connecting laneways will be utilised, and the idea is to widen streets, and keep laneways narrow, like in NewUrbans pic above ^^

^^ Lol, obviously. It was more a prompt for ideas on which laneways are actually connecting...

Why can't dead end lanes be used? We have plenty, like Ely Lane. Though as far as connecting ones go, there is the one that runs through the GPO, I think Eagle Lane is open at both ends, and the council want to use the George Street entry to QUT. There are probably more examples in the City Master Plan.

I'm all for them! As long as they don't look like this!!
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i16/soulvisionQ1/109902650_3d93741771_o.jpg

^^ I hope to god they look like that, a REAL city!!! The street art in that laneway is breathtaking. You have to see it to believe it. Very beautiful, and tourists standing around all day taking photos.

It doesn't look like art to me.

I'm being very cautious about offering my support for these laneways being used for cafe's and boutique shops etc. Don't get me wrong I really love them but I think they'd work 100 times better in places like Paris, and Mebourne where it is quite cool for more of the year. This allows many people to be gathered in a small space. These areas could end up becoming too hot for Brisbane's climate and could be used less than hoped, which would then make them undesirable places to be. 2c.:)

^^ I hope to god they look like that, a REAL city!!! The street art in that laneway is breathtaking. You have to see it to believe it. Very beautiful, and tourists standing around all day taking photos.

I think the majority of tourists would be scared and run away from that! I see what KJBrissy is saying... maybe we could enclose them with glass roofs and air condition them? That could be possible! But just remember Melbourne actually gets hotter than Brissy in the summer!

what is this jacobs ladder?!? ive heard it countless times but have never been able to picture it...

Danubis.....Jacobs ladder is that very steep set of stairs at the top end of Edward Street right next to the IBM building.....its the stairs that are part of the park that goes from Turbot St to Wickham Tce, although I believe when they refer to Jacobs ladder in this context it may be the footpath area?? not really sure, but thats where Jacobs ladder is.. :)

I didn't know where Jacobs ladder was either! but searched it in flickr and got this... now i know ;)

^^And Baroque is still proposed??

I was in Logan today and noticed what looked to be a highrise going up near the hotel in Springwood. Anyone got any goss on this at all??

Do DA's get many positive submissions? In support of the development?

^ not many.but its very hard to stop a development if it complies with all rules and regulations.it can go to land and environment courts and most of time developers win.

502 Adelaide is actually pretty big when you see it next to the others, and especially considering how thin it will be.

I'm not sure if someone has already done this (I'm sure I'm not the first), but a couple of months ago I created a model of Brisbane for Google Earth so I could get an idea of how big vision and empire would be against the rest of the city in 3D space. Anyway, for anyone who is interested you can download the model from the link below.

It obviously doesn't have all the buildings in the CBD, just the rough shapes of some of the better known ones and recent additions. Vision and Empire are in green and I've now added 480 Queen St in blue (though we don't know what it looks like yet). All buildings are scaled to within about 1m of their actual height... but I haven't taken terrain into account yet.

Note: The KMZ file requires Google Earth 4

Thanks lastresort. I suppose you have a lot of catching up to do on this forum. There are renders and pictures of Brisbane with the buildings added in from other forumers as well.

This is a few months old so may have already been posted...interesting and very positive nevertheless:

Media Release


Minister for Transport & Main Roads
The Honourable Paul Lucas
28/07/2006

More rail airspace sold

A second company has reached agreement with Queensland Transport to buy airspace around a major station on the CityTrain network.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Paul Lucas said today that a developer would build commercial offices partly over the rail corridor at South Bank in Brisbane.

"This is the second such project at South Bank and it shows just how important rail corridor airspace has become for inner city growth," Mr Lucas said.

"In this project, the developer had development rights from South Bank Corporation over adjacent land on the corner of Grey and Tribune Streets.

"Their proposed plans involve some floor area extending over part of the rail corridor.

"The agreement with the State Government is such that the developer can purchase volumetric lots for the floor extension, which will cover about 290 square metres, although it doesn't actually extend out as far as the existing primary rail transport infrastructure.

"Around three years ago, State Cabinet approved the sale of more than 400 square metres of airspace for offices extending over the rail corridor between Ernest and Tribune Streets.

"In that project, South Bank Corporation was granted freehold title to the airspace, and leased the airspace and the adjacent lot to the developer during construction, which is now under way.

"When the building is finished, the airspace and the adjacent land will be amalgamated into a single title, and South Bank Corporation and the developer will enter into a long-term lease arrangement.

"As we said at the time, inner city land in Brisbane is becoming scarce and as the amount of available land reduces and people become more concerned about traffic and pollution, rail corridors are becoming increasingly attractive to developers," Mr Lucas said.

"Developments over rail corridors can help revitalise neighbourhoods or commercial districts and create dynamic mixed-use environments.

"Queensland Transport and Queensland Rail are working on a number of volumetric developments along the metropolitan rail network.

"They will ensure the airspace needed for the development won't impact on future transport requirements for the corridor," Mr Lucas said.

hoping this trend continues...

I'm pretty sure that MR was in the Tribune thread already.

ive seen the plans for the albion TOD and whilst its not over the rail line, they are making 'high' use of the land theyve got. should look sweet

I work in Albion. By high Maroon, you mean 20 stories + or something less? Do you know whereabouts?

CUL, just wanted to thank you for all the effort you go to with these Diagrams - much appreciated!

M on Mary looked a bit higher the last time I looked, nevertheless though thanks Cul. Some of us live for these monthly diagrams like me ;)

wow! 549 Queen looks small when you scale it down like that. cheers cul!!!

Charlotte is quite amazing. So long at ground level, then 6/7 months from base to top out.

Yes thanks Cul, I find I can look at those elevations and imagine Brisbane's future skyline. Be great to see another 4 or 5 get started early this year

M on Mary is the slow mover, although it might be expected seen as though hutchinson havent gone highrise before

What about Evolution, thats a flyer and hutchies are doing that one to!!!! Just remember hutchies do a lot of mid'rise buildings around QLD, 10 to 50 floors, there's not a lot of difference once the podium is done. :dance2:

Well some of you older forumers, like BrizzChris, may remember that I used to post pictures of a 3d model that I made of Brisbane. My intention was to use it as a simple tool to show us how new proposals would stack up in the city skyline, in terms of bulk, height etc.

Well there are just so many proposals now that after a 2 year break I have opened it up again and have started tinkering. I hope to add all of the proposed, approved and under construction in over the next few weeks.

Anyway here is a sample of the kind of images that I will get to post for everyone. Because this is a pretty detailed model I will be able to get views from anywhere as our need arises.

I realise that there are many buildings to add in, that some of the heights are 2 years out of date and that there may even be some old proposals and projects in here. So bear with me as I correct things.

I made the model in ArchiCAD and just used the in program renderer. Am trying to keep this simple, otherwise it all becomes too time concuming to contmeplate.

Looking great Brizbane2, can't wait for the updates :)

Thats excellent Brizbane2...seeing the poposals etc this way shows in a great way whats to come....:applause:

Holly crap Brizbane2!! I just looked in this thread and seen your work and it's really, really good. I can't wait to see you do some more :)

Just another question for anyone else - What ever happend to The Domaine? I can't seem to find it on any of the proposed, u/c ect maps for Brisbane. Has the name been changed or was it completely scrapped?

Is it not the Macrossan now?

Just another question for anyone else - What ever happend to The Domaine? I can't seem to find it on any of the proposed, u/c ect maps for Brisbane. Has the name been changed or was it completely scrapped?

Yep, it's the Macrossan. It's the same design only with about 20 floors lopped out of it. Looked better when it was taller and thinner but, all the same, it's glass facade will be a welcome change for the area.

Cheers fellas.

^^ 275 George is 171m to the top of the spire, but other than that, very cool, thanks Soulvision!

cool but some errors. make sure you check my diagrams out. you can see heights ect.
empire square is 240m.(not 243m)
riverside2 is 193m. (not 190m)
275 george is 143m to blade. or 132m to roof.
northbridge is 150m to spires or 141m to roof.

I like the photo realistic images, but the heights are all so out of whack it's hard to take seriously.

Thanks Cul! Nice work as always.

179 Turbot has had a crane erected for some time now. i would have no idea where construction is at though.

Thanks CUL! I'd missed seeing your diagrams for a couple of months.

ive edited in crane for 179 turbot and changed 480 queen to 255m design.
cheers

Cheers SVQ1, excellent work! Imagine if you did one for South-East Qld!!

You've made Meriton the wrong heights, its 243m, not 250m. And 480 Queen is 255m, not 265m.

Here is a quick map I did showing where the projects that are proposed, Approved and U/C are. I've added Eagle Street Twins as they seem very promising. I've left out 549 Queen and it's neighbour as it is a long way off. I've also left of the tower neighbouring the Hilton as it isn't proposed and there are no details about it. MonMary has been left off as the crane is down and the rest is just cosmetic. I've added the King George Square bus station as there are huge amounts of works happening and still to happen there. Enjoy:

Eagle street is marked incorrectly, but nice job.

^^Yeah, it only took me 15min and Eagle Street was a little confusing. I just wanted to see how much of Brisbane will be covered by construction and I thought it'd be interesting for others as well. 480 Queen/Silverpoint could be a little out as well.

It also shows you haw small the Meriton/Macrossan and Empire Square sites are compared to Vision and 480 Queen!


Unlucky if you live in RiverCity on the corner of Mary and Albert. You would be neighbouring 4 development sites with another 2 coming up! One diagonally opposite on the corner to be coming in the near future and the other next door at 103 Mary Street!!!

You've made Meriton the wrong heights, its 243m, not 250m. And 480 Queen is 255m, not 265m.

Actually SVQ1 is correct. 480 Queen is 265m.

265mRL but 255m above ground. 255m is correct.

Is this arguement still going on? In reality, it doesn't amount to anything, as either way 480 Queen St will be one very prominantly tall building.

Actually SVQ1 is correct. 480 Queen is 265m.
Buildings are not counted from their height above sea level, which you are doing.
