tayser · December 26th, 2003, 07:10 AM

that's right [ladies &] gents, we can now see where the lanes / arcades are going to go

Seen it before, but never in its own context (lol?

)

Very high level ceilings for the retail

2SB's entry taking shape

creating some curves

They finally got around to updating the FWP official website --> http://www.freshwaterplace.com.au/ ... be sure to check out the links

and some photos to get you all warm and fuzzy:

(note the reduced height in FWP south and the removal of the word 'residential')

tayser · January 7th, 2004, 06:13 AM

would be good to come back to this shot at the end of the year and compare how much has changed:

Tays' pic just highights that although there is a shit load going on at Southbank atm, there's so much more for the future.

Im talking about the other third of the FWP site, the Prima site next door and what Mirvac have in store for the 3 Riverside Quay buildings they now own right in front of Eureka.

i hear they'll probably build a resi tower around 200m on that large site

Cheers

PWC rose another level today to expose 17..

But it still looks so tiny compare to Eureka given how high it is and is supposed to become. Particularly from the LSS camera - I know it's on the wrong side but hard to see it rising to the height that Eureka more or less is at the moment!

Still - 161m is 161m so it's gotta get there somehow.

tayser · January 13th, 2004, 10:40 AM

FWP != EUREKA.

FWP = FWP.

thanks for the info though A-Brain

A-brain · January 15th, 2004, 02:17 AM

Lots glass action happening now on PWC! And it looks *very* promising - big ass corporate style with char-grey glass and silver vertical ribs..

Someone here said a while back that horizontal features make a building look squat while vertical lines make it look tall. Well only one level of glass is on PWC and it already makes it look taller!

tays - check it out.. I got through a non E****a post (only my 3rd in the past 6 months) without referencing E****a at all !!

tayser · January 15th, 2004, 05:57 AM

HAH!

already a step ahead of you A-Brain

And they've updated their renderings on Queensbridge Square:

Dean · January 15th, 2004, 09:11 AM

1 FWP will look a real winner. Love the look of it.

The new square is plain and very open but i guess if u want to have a lot of people there u need lots of open space etc.

Tays is that a series of water fountains in the middle???

Cheers

I'm surprised nobody posted, but the other half of the core rose today so the double core is level again.

tayser · January 15th, 2004, 01:57 PM

joed: yeah had a funny feeling it'd go up today, as they're always pouring 2SB's core(s) and raising the corebox(es) at the same time

I can just see a perfect proposal for that BMW showroom site (I refuse to believe BMW will stick to their guns and not sell up that site considering the pressure they're sure to come under and what's happening to that block), a Shell House-like curved floor-plate - 1/4 circle, ~130 - 140m tall, 8 level podium to match up with 2SB, and the cruve to run from 2SB sweeping right around to 2FWP. Drenched in glass.

mmm.

tayser · January 19th, 2004, 06:17 AM

pic thanks to Hacksaw

Eureka's corebox = pretty much the height of 2SB, and halfway up the corebox crane (or top of it?) is where, roughly, 1FWP will be

dynamoultraclean · January 19th, 2004, 06:49 AM

That picture is awesome. Another one that we can check back on at the end of the year. Fantastic pic. Will be a great site in a few months.

***silvermb*** · January 19th, 2004, 11:55 AM

can someone (lozza) go down and check out the glass on the resi podium

may be wrong but could have sworn that its blue-green, more aqua than anything else - really interesting colour. if the renderings are any guide the tower will be the same colour as the podium which would look spectacular

btw lozz did you enjoy your stroll around docklands this afternoon?

A-brain · January 19th, 2004, 02:00 PM

I would swear as of Sunday there was no glass yet on the Resi podium, but I'll shoot by tomorrow for sure and have a gab..

joed · January 21st, 2004, 07:15 AM

Core rise to half of core earlier today

Gee it's going much faster than Eureka!

James.

A-brain · January 21st, 2004, 07:23 AM

Yeah PWC is really going at it also like Hammer and Tong (again have no idea who they are) ..
