Is this a part of ADGC site development plan?

[CULWULLA]

NOPE. IN BEFORE ITS ADOPTED. BUT IF YOU REMOVE GOLDFIELDS HOUSE, ALOT OF SUNLIGHT WILL STILL PENETRATE INTO PLANNED SQUARE.

[papervagina]

The square that's part of the LEP will be a pretty shitty place with 100m+ walls on every side.

[Brizer]

It is within the APDG (Alfred/Pitt/Dalley/George) site but it does not conform to the masterplan currently being processed. As Cul said, developer is trying to slip it through before the masterplan can be formally approved.

[CULWULLA]

this block will be incredible when completed in a few years.
185m valad tower,
136m 19pitt st tower
155m mirvac tower
200m dalley st tower

i always love CUL's optimism but in reality we will see what actually gets built.

talk here in north america is GFC Part II could be around the corner....

[LanceDriver]

^ GFC part 1 never ended, it has just morphed into Great Depression 2 (for the Americans and Europeans that is). There is absolutely no way to avoid debt deflation no matter how hard anyone tries. It's just a matter of what type of impact it has.

Anyway, back on topic, I'm actually fkt off by this. I'm totally behind the concept of the APDG masterplan. This isn't something to celebrate just because we get another Sydney standard 150m or so apartment block. I hope this dies in the arse!

[CULWULLA]

edited first post. more photos.

[Brizer]

It would be useful to see 19 Pitt in the context of the APDG masterplan model.
Subtle enough?

[CULWULLA]

^DA for valads tower coming before xmas. the mirbac tower behind early 2011. current model on the site is only 115m.

[Fabian]

Another tower on top of the four proposed for the rest of the block. We are starting to move at last.

The developers certainly are capitalising on the opening up of views down Pitt Street with the Valad Tower set to open up the views. It looks like it will complement the Valad Tower itself.

I like how the balconies face towards the northeast to capitalise on the views.

[Brizer]

Sorry to be so predictable but: who's the architect?

[CULWULLA]

^sorry i have no details yet. maybe monday now.

So what is the likelihood of this getting the green light?

If the SCC is serious about keeping a lid on its CBD height limits and maintaining the concept plan (whether adopted or not) at Barangaroo, this proposal should be rejected for breaching the height allowances by a considerable margin. If not, then that's just a bit hypocritical isn't it.

I will await some more detailed renders before making up my mind. But in relations to Goldfields House, when it is replaced, what is the likelihood of the new tower blocking all (or at least most) of the harbour views? Let's just hope that if this is the case and it IS approved, the Valad Tower doesn't drag the chain...otherwise we could have a NIMBY hot spot ala Beau Monde in North Sydney

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

Oh and if this is part of the APDG Site and it has gotten its own thread, why then are we intent on keeping every little detail for Barangaroo in the one thread? I think once the DAs start coming in for Barangaroo we should create separate threads.

[MILIUX]

We may in the future split up barangaroo thread once we know each individual towers under construction. So a thread for each development. Just like the World Trade site developments in supertall forum.

That way we can discuss progress of each developments instead of combining together.

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

I like, I like

+ it makes sense

[CULWULLA]

sky-it should get green light. its done all right things for the site allowances.
