Erm tays.. feel free to merge this if its part of another thread but I think we lost the old one (if there was one).

Anyway.. this forgotten about project down at the Docklands End of the Yarra is coming along quite nicely!!

It has just topped out in the past week and floorplates are not far behind.

Looking at it you can see how much it fits in with the aspect of the World Trade Centre complex .. should look quite spiffy when all competed and facade done.

Will try to get down for a pic soon.. unless silver your out and about?

yes better late than never hey, from the last few months

aye - I could see myself living there but I say that a lot about the plethora of developments in the city :D

A-Brain: lol..... I think it's been combined... or something *Shrug* just leave it, it's almost complete anyhow ;)

tays

I only noticed this one again driving along the freeway the other day.
It has sort just crept up on us but it is starting to look great,

Definately *was* taken a few months ago those photos.. if what the sheila in the 3rd pic on the bike is wearing is anything to go by .. brrrr it's snowin season outside now !

Marko don't get the Carlton reference.. unless you mean the colour of the building..

c'mon A-brain, i thought you were a blues fan, the CFC logo on the navy spew bucket hanging off the crane. I think it's used at Tower 5 for the moment

There was a thread with lots of info but it must have dissapeared, oh well...

Some renderings:

LOL shit I didnt notice that! What a crackup ..

Nup I'm a Sainters fan all the way.. I *should* have been a Carlton fan being a nice wog boy from the eastern burbs ... and in fact I was till about Age 4 .. but Jezza moved to St.Kilda so I've been stuck wiv em ever since! :bash: :D :angel1:

Very bad quality pic, had to take it from the car going at 100km/h.

Here's another one taken last week:

Magnificent pic Phillip. Gawd thats so clear you can almost put your hand through the screen !

And Arunava.. as tays said elsewhere.. don't worry about the quality.. your pics are great also! The blurrier pics have quite a certain 'big smoggy city' atmosphere about them :guns1: which is cool.. so keep em comin!

This is another great "filler" for Melbourne.

I like it, because it complements the design of the World Trade Center whichwas looking very tired. With a bit of a paint job the WTC should actually now look pretty good. (Didn't Bracksie propose something like this?)

looks like the crane is coming down this weekend; wasn't used yesterday and has become progressively shorter this week (as has Southpoint's in the first pic)

hah! he finally got a pic with Linfox :cool:

This looks great. Now we need an apartment tower on top of the multi-storey car park behind it, fronting Flinders Street. It could be twice this height, due to the set back.

Not long to go, another quaility tower. Damn the World Trade Centre is a disgrace, this has covered one side of it but the governmetn should really pressure the owners to redevelop the buildings because they are a blight on Docklands and the Yarra.

Hopefully all of the construction workers are slowly moving over to Royal Domain :-)

Wow.. now *THAT* is a grand looking apartment complex ...

Haven't been down there in a while.. great pix!

Ditto twofold on WTC .. but hey what can you do .. I hope they go ahead and tart up the old Missions to Seamen as well on the left side of Flinders Wharf there.. that great domed building would look fantastic with a spit and polish..

That's the plan A-brain, They should be starting work on the promenade and park soon as well as the restoration of the 'Mission to Seamans' building.

Cheers

Dean - Melbourne

looks nice, I remember having a walk around this area on my last day, it was abit hard to navigate, I stayed in the hotel next to the WTC

This one would be close to finishing wouldn't it??? I haven't had a good look recently!

Shocking picture but is it finished or this going to be another bare concrete facad? Or has it actually been painted!?

Not nice, not ugly, its just there. Dont like that bare concrete, hopefully we will see some paint or somethin.

Are they going to paint it blue?

Blocks out half of the World Trade Centre tower in his shot, a big improvement to the view :-)
