If I am led to believe that the view corridors as part of Barangaroo will ensure that they keep views.

Too many trees, not enough highrises lol...Would be nice to see dozens of Forum-like towers on the Lower North Shore....

Fabian · March 31st, 2012, 04:59 AM

I love the towers rising over the canopy.

the RNS hospital construction (left of the st leonards towers) appears complete in those pics, must be one of the biggest australian hospitals now

Yet it still isn't big enough and is riddled with design flaws! I hear some lifts arent big enough to fit beds in!

The current building (at left of shots, chopped off in the second shot) will soon be demolished.

Another biggie is on the cards for St Leonards.

A D/A has been lodged for an 18 storey apartment tower with 72 apartments and 33 serviced apartments at 621 Pacific Highway.

What about the AKAI Tower?

Brizer · May 27th, 2012, 06:06 AM

Promising. Hope the reality is as crisply detailed as the render indicates. So, who is the architect?

Sky_Is_The_Limit · May 27th, 2012, 06:21 AM

That looks quite good!

There is a fair bit of activity starting to occur in St Leonards; 6-16 Atchinson Street, 88 Christie Street & a rumoured residential tower nearby (forgotten the address), now 621 Pacific Highway.

YAY!!

I love the AKAI Tower

Nice design, but would prefer it in a different location!

Fabian · May 28th, 2012, 12:21 AM

It will be sad to see the AKAI Building go because its one of the early highrises in the suburb but it is tiny these days when compared to its neighbours.

Mornnb · May 28th, 2012, 01:34 AM

AKAI Building is a great example of its time, I think it has some heritage value. St Leonard's has a pretty small high rise area, yet they are destroying existing high rises?? Damn councils and their anti-density attitudes.

mafa · May 28th, 2012, 02:11 AM

Marchese Partners are the designers for 621 Pacific Highway

BearCave · May 28th, 2012, 02:25 AM

I hate the AKAI tower!
I hate everything about this building, especially the fuck-off wall on the street!
