It looks as if the core's starting to speed ahead of the floorplates / podium on 1FWP now (I counted at least 3 maybe 4 levels above the podium now) - may have been a core rise just over the weekend, and

2SB's core's have risen half a level, almost going to have L14 exposed.

Think it's fair to say 2SB's core is now 1/3 of its full height

Levels for core: 14/38

And the tower is certainly now taking shape. Not long til we see some GLASS.

thought might want this from archived thread.

Is this the first site which isn't labelling level 13 ? (superstitious bastards! )



oh yeah core rise.

[Blabbyboy]

No Cul - Crown Towers famously does not have level 13.

Did anyone else see the Freshwater Place ads in the ad break just before the Melbourne Cup ??????

[BigVman]

Yes - but I must admit I wasn't really paying attention.

[kasperluke]

I saw them! Played in quite a few of the ad breaks! Bloody awesome ads! Eureka in view looks great!

Pretty recent helicopter shots too Eureka looks level with IBM..

[tayser]

Kasper: yeah, I'd say only 6 - 8 weeks old (the footage)

BigV: I wasn't either, until I heard "new landmark" - and I thought it was E, but up - good old FWP

will be interesting to see how successful the ads were - would have cost Australand a CRAPLOAD of money for just before the race!

[A-brain]

Yeah ditto on the TV Ad!!

I saw it yesterday too and first I thought - 'Hmm this is a nice heli view down the Yarra canyon.. will look great when E is up' ..

Then realised that the E appears almost the height it is now, and looks awesome too at less than half height!!! So yes the ad must have been shot v.recently..

Then finally the reveal at the end that its FWP .. which also looks great..

Can't wait to see that canyon shot when all the big boys are up ... along with E&Y on the right side to fill out as well..

[barneybuck]

I have to agree with everyone else the Ads were awesome and very well done I wonder if they were shown right around the country?

Meanwhile, while people bitch and moan about the Unions and Eureka - Freshwater Place was running HOT today (Thur 7/11)

- 1FWP's now has labels!!!
- 1FWP main core = level 7 exposed, 9 to the top of the corebox (probably more like 8.5, it doesn't look like a full 2 floor height corebox)
- 1FWP's podium is most certainly halfway home, I stood infront of the main rendering outside Pac.Internet HQ and compared it to the actual thing, once they've done the roof of these two floors their doing right now, it'll be beyond half way.
- 2SB's core is starting to really look high now ("duh" :P)
- CURVE IT UP - Curve HAS APPEARED (see rendering above) - can only see it from the bridge, subtle right now, but bring it on
- The first TWO floors of the tower / office space itself are on their way, next two shortly



No pics, and won't be any til:

- more people start posting, can't be bothered posting pics, only to come across no-one's replied when I go to post the next batch - why should I or anyone else for that matter bother?, plus
- waiting for new camera.

All the threads seem to be slowing down quite noticeibly lately with not that many posts, maybe people are getting bored with the topics or are having Uni exams

[tayser]

probably a mixture of both really: I have exams as well.

But it takes more than one person to make a thread "interesting".

Year 12 exams! finish all next wednesday...I haven't been on here in a while.....I'll take some pics soon! I love this development!

Thanks for the update tays! Now get back and study!

When you say the curve has started? How have they started it when they haven't finished the podium? I thought the curve only happened above the podium?

It is above the podium, they've structurally completed it, it's just the fine details / facade / cladding & what not they have to do

blabby, that was one of taysers posts transfered to this new thread. he was the one asking about level 13.-read the post?

tays- thanks for updates! (its starting to look tall)lol

[silvermb]

enjoy, thats it for a while, someone else can take some photos

[Richo]

Nice pics Marko. I love that angle. The Southbank dev. (FWP and big E) look best from that side of the yarra. Still can't wait to see it (Southbank) in a year or two.

P.S. Anyone got any more news on the 3rd FWP tower? Is it sill a goer or is it only proposed?

Like Prima, I hope that the 3rd tower starts soon, as these two additions (plus the others on Southbank already U/C) will just make it look bloody fantastic.

That's Quality
