TAS/Hobart U/C Campbell Street Apartments 6 L

OptomistOne · August 27th, 2010, 01:14 AM

Time for a new thread as this project has now officially kicked off.

Construction photos to be up loaded shortly.

OptomistOne · August 27th, 2010, 01:33 AM

Preliminary site works underway.

Only a bit more excavation, some demolition and the in ground works to do. Construction of the 2 car parking decks and 4 levels of apartments will then start.

Project scheduled for completion by August 2011.

Looks like only 4 levels from the render.

I think we are also counting the 2 levels of underground carparking!

OptomistOne · August 31st, 2010, 05:36 AM

! Except when you look at the plans, the car parks are almost at ground level and slightly above - so as far as I am concerned it's 6 levels overall and will certainly add a big chunk of density to this part of Hobart.

Another render - this time from the Campbell Street perspective. Courtesy of the Common Ground website.

Ordex - "borrowed" one of your images to update this thread! Hope you don't mind.

I will get my camera on site for some more photos soon.

Ordex · September 24th, 2010, 12:58 PM

whoops. must have forgotten there was a thread for this project! cheers

Not a lot of visible progress since the last photo update.

Looks like most of the work has been going on in the deep pit abutting the Brooker Highway, although the large square holes the workers are filling with concrete in this shot are probably foundation piers. Will be quite a few more weeks yet before this thing starts coming out of the ground.

An inside view of one of the buildings still on site which I am pretty sure will be getting demolished in the very near future. Currently used for the construction workers cars, by the look of it.

great shots op1!
guessing you took the first one from inside the site itself???

Thanks Ordex. If you walk up Campbell Street a bit there is a row of houses and a laneway between them which runs down and overlooks the site. Quite narrow but it gives you a bit of a perspective.

If you could get into the Hobart TAFE carpark, the entrance is off Bathurst Street, that would be a good view from the opposite side over the site too. I might try that one day.

sounds like a good mission! i'd be up for that one.
i'd be interested to know what exactly they are doing over in that back corner where you can see part of a concrete 'box'...

OptomistOne · October 22nd, 2010, 01:22 AM

Man I am good (and modest

). I predicted these buildings would be coming down soon and here is one photo from the Mercury taken yesterday (21/10) showing the first stage demolition.

Good to see things moving forward quickly now. Doubt if we will see a tower crane on this site but time will tell, I suppose.

Ordex · October 22nd, 2010, 06:43 AM

well done op1! I saw the result of the demo last night.
a tower crane on this site would mean 4 in hobart at the one time - it was staggering to think a year or two ago we would even see four projects on the go at once - let alone ones needing tower cranes!!!

I know...it would be awesome, but I suspect the one at Hadleys will be coming down soon. So we might have to put up with up just 3 until the Menzies Centre Stage 2 building gets underway.

Ordex · October 25th, 2010, 11:42 PM

btw, I noticed that there is still 1 small section of the old mechanic's wall left - just at the front. bizzare

OptomistOne · November 1st, 2010, 12:20 AM

Not much left of the old buildings on site now. Spectran are crushing them up and will no doubt use the aggregate to fill in that section down by the Brooker Highway. Given the state of construction so far, the new building might be up to street level by Christmas.

OptomistOne · December 1st, 2010, 05:38 AM

Quite a patchy job this one. A bit of work has been done constructing various concrete columns but they are quite randomly spaced over the site.

Difficult to see exactly how this build will progress but it looks like they are concentrating on the area closest to the retaining wall abutting the Brooker Highway. I expect there will be a large slab poured right across this section before Christmas so they will be set up to start above ground work early in the New Year.

OptomistOne · December 22nd, 2010, 04:20 AM

Final photo before the Christmas break. Most of the foundations in the bottom section of the site seemed to be finished. Pretty quiet otherwise.

Ordex · December 22nd, 2010, 10:56 PM

thanks for the update op1!
