Sydney :ASPECT Tower -43st/150m/res (Part 1) - Page 7

Blabbyboy · January 13th, 2003, 06:46 AM

I know it's been said many times before, but I came to the thread late...well, IMHO it's not terribly exciting. Just more bulk for the city. Wish the Gotham City design went ahead.

Blabbyboy · January 13th, 2003, 06:46 AM

PS. Wasted opportunity is what I mean to say.

MrTall · January 13th, 2003, 06:56 AM

Oh, I really hope this one goes ahead without delay. Do you guys know whether the design revisions will take a long time to approve? If they're supposed to be building in 2 months' time it doesn't really leave a lot of time so I guess they must be counting on a quick process.

January 13th, 2003, 06:58 AM

i'm outta the know is aspect that pic above? well whatever tower it is its very thin!

Muse · February 28th, 2003, 08:08 AM

Called into the Aspect sales office this afternoon (Friday).

i was told out of the 90 apartments , 62 have been pre-commited to.

Quest will be running the serviced apartments at the base.

Work at this stage will be beginning in either the 2nd or 3rd week next month i.e March.

Muse · February 28th, 2003, 08:19 AM

A reminding of aspect's rendering.......

finn · February 28th, 2003, 08:29 AM

Thanks for the update muse! That's 69% of the private apartments sold, and the serviced apartments spoken for!

I really am just so much happier with Aspect since they sorted out the eastern facade with some windows! To some it may sound trivial, but I think that a blank wall of that size with little chance of being built in front of (because of heritage listing of the building next door) would have been a huge shame.

Now, after seeing the model of the revised tower at Town Hall, I think of it as a welcome addition to the booming southern precinct (or "mid-town" as they call it in advertising for Latitude

)!

spazpecker · February 28th, 2003, 08:33 AM

So, in one month's time this will possibly be what's underconstuction in JUST a handful of blocks in the southern CBD !

230m World Tower
190m Latitude
152m Village
137m Lobana
135m Hilton redevelopment
130m Civic
89m Cassia Garden
62m Harmony
55m North

Others that I’m not sure about.....
Shorter Latitude Tower- height ?
Ultimo office project ( Quay St) - height ?
Emporio underway ? – height ?
Rex completed? - height ?
101 Bathurst? Timeline?
Honeymoon tower ? Height ?
Any others......?

Well, walked by the site yesterday and still no sign of commencement .... and we are now into the 3rd week of March

!!!

Even the sleazy Triple 888 gambling club/pub on the site is still operating with its neon half out of order "bzzzz, bzzzz" lol. Not even a "CLOSING SOON" sign on the window

.

Fabian · March 18th, 2003, 05:33 AM

The model has also disappeared. I ventured by there on the way to the State library this morning and Culwulla discovered that someone had taken it. Hope he knows what has happened to it. I have seen it in person yet.

its cool! its just being re-accessed because of its amended top!
It will be back soon!

Muse · March 18th, 2003, 08:07 AM

Ammended top? Did I miss something?

MrTall · March 18th, 2003, 09:05 PM

Yeah, I think those wavy-ass strips at the top are being reviewed.

CULWULLA · March 18th, 2003, 10:43 PM

We did a shadow test on belmore and it now shadows!! due to new top! Word is now that its going to court so they have to amend top! this will obviously slow down the approval process! this is why it hasnt started yet!
If they stuck with same plant room as before it would of started already!!

spazpecker · March 19th, 2003, 02:07 AM

So it will now be shorter than 136m ?

its height is 138m, and it shouldnt come down at all, just shorten the LMR length southwards.

MrTall · March 20th, 2003, 02:49 AM

Sounds like the boys at the council are still smarting from their loss at the Land and Environment Court last time.

I like this developer!! Hope they mop the floor with the council.
