My problem is I'm not interested in anything until it actually starts. Therefore my next interest is Stamford Marquee followed by Portico followed by................

well got some images when I walked past on Friday. Still I like these two towers. Glad to see another. But wait till it starts before I take notice. Not sure its impact will be that big through.

But we lose the old power sub station. I know that place well crossed it many times. And it will bea big change to see it go.

It looks like it does stick like dogs balls a bit, but not as much as you think it may be

I think that was silly for them to include it there. It could of just been added when the map was to be revised when it was completed.

May you rot in peace and may this tower enliven this part of Darling Harbour.

And the new substation Mr Crane will give them their power!!!

Took this one tonight while waiting for the rain to ease-up a bit so I could walk home. Love that beam of light shooting skywards!

DP3 will sit just to the left of the Nestle Tower

It's about to start !
Todays AFR ( 15th Oct) reports that "the final stage of the $1 bn Darling Park office and retail project is about to begin" underpinned by a major leasing committment from Marsh and McLennan ( US based Fortune 500 financial services company) which will lease more than half of the tower- around 14,000 sqm.
There is a nice pic of the two existing 28 level towers above the article, with the British Telecom tower sitting nicely in between them !

Awesome!

Darling Harbour skyline will kick ass in 2-3 years with KENS, DP 1-3, Rialto, 101 Bathurst (hopefully!), Meriton, World Tower, Latitude, Aspect and 720 George (tbc??)

The only thing one can add to make this skyline perfect would be Cityone!
