lol, yeah he's back after a very long layoff. He's been taking heaps lately.

Unfortuantely, it's as close as he can get to the action of the Cross.

What's happening with the northern section of 'Ikon' (still looks like old Landmark Parkroyal facade.....Is this also a part of the 'Ikon' development?

No - it's a totally different building - Rockwall Apartments (I think that's the name?). It was built right up against the old Parkroyal/new Ikon, so it's not part of the same development.

I wish they would redo rockawll apartments to look like IKON. It looks half finnished..

I thought Mirvac's Rockwall Apartments were located only in front of the former Landmark Parkroyal, actually between Ikon and Victoria Street...It's a totally new building and not part of the refurbished Parkroyal hotel...

One of the Rockwall's one bedders holds Sydney's price record in its category....(close to 2 mil I think...)

Yeah A x 3. Here's a pic of Rockwall:

Also Woolworths will open a store in the podium of the complex next Tuesday (June 29).

The scaffholding on the former Gazebo Hotel is coming down revealing this.

wow what a big diference! NOT!

Yeah, but it's much better than being grey. Even with the refurbishment, it will still remain as one of my favourite scrapers in the Kings Cross area due to it's circular design especially with it's roof.

i did a big 2 hr walkabout heritage study today on art deco highrise and other stuff. heres a updated pic of Gazebo. looks bloody great!

Those art deco high rises are brilliant.

Yeah A x 3. Here's a pic of Rockwall:

This building is Rockwall Gardens. The tower adjacent to Ikon is Rockwall Apartments.

correct rmm, thats only 9storeys,. Rockwall apartments are 20storeys.

I walked past the Rockwall Apartments the other day on my way to the supermarket and noticing they are starting to repaint the whole building. So soon the peach and green of the old Park Royal will be a distant memory. I assuming the colour sceme was lowering the value of the apartments compared to the ikon next door.

^ Ah cool! Long gone will be that horrid dirty pink - a relic from the 80s/early 90s.

anyone been to Gazebo latley? must be nearing completion.?

^ ^ As a matter of fact, yes. I was walking around The Cross and Liz Bay with a couple of friends yesterday.

There were about 5 workmen working @ the base/entrance. The tower itself looks completed (@ least externally).

Cool

work finally resumed this week on Gazebo after a nearly 2 months. Workcover closed it after unsafe to workers.no wonder it looks the same.

hows Gazebo going? must be finished

hows Gazebo going? must be finished

Just about, Cul. I drove past there the other day, and the main building is pretty much done, but they're still doing work around the front lobby area. Externally it would be complete though.

the 12storey building which is part of Gazebo complex (Court Building 1982) is going up tonight for a new restaurant at ground level. I didnt realize this bldg existed. another one to add to ss.com.
