hmm, i thougth daisho got shit canned

KJBrissy · September 14th, 2009, 01:16 PM

From what I understand it was just quiet while they redesigned the base to show off the School of Arts building more. The latest designs submitted to council are from earlier this month.

TOCC · September 14th, 2009, 01:19 PM

oh well, thats good news, i like this tower

KJBrissy · September 15th, 2009, 11:04 AM

From the Daisho website:

174 Ann St. New tower development, due for completion in 2013.

twin oracle towers rising by jesse24

TOCC · September 28th, 2009, 03:17 PM

i witnessed these in person on the weekend just gone, they look really impressive, there shape is quite unique in comparson to the hard edged buildings elsewhere on the coast

CULWULLA · September 29th, 2009, 06:20 AM

they are a breath of fresh air this end of town.

Marty_ · September 29th, 2009, 09:14 AM

All the new towers on the GC are a breath of fresh air. The place is, to be honest, pretty run down and trashy on the whole. New faces in the skyline are welcome.

Happily, all the new towers are very nicely done.

True. I can't decide which modern part of GC I like best. Southport or Broadbeach?

TOCC · September 29th, 2009, 12:43 PM

broadbeach easily.. southport still looks pretty average

tic · September 29th, 2009, 12:58 PM

I don't love Southport but it is improving. Marty I don't know what part you are referring to as run down? As most buildings on the Gold Coast were built in the last 30 years, it would be the least run down big city in Australia (compared to say, capital cities).

Locke · September 29th, 2009, 03:14 PM

Oracle is one of the best buildings on the coast, curvey DBI goodness.

Marty_ · September 29th, 2009, 03:59 PM

I like Broadbeach myself.

When I say "run down" I really mean street level... Surfers is pretty dated/tacky/in need of a facelift IMO. A lot of major areas on the Gold Coast are a bit like that. Just a little "tatty" around the edges. Not all of it, of course.

Broadbeach is probably the nicer part for sure.

i agree certain parts of surfers look run down, but other parts look quite brand new, Cavill Mall is probably they biggest issue, its probably a consequence of its own success, the mall is used heavily and looks quite run down these days.

The Esplanade area is due for a upgrade, and jeez it needs it, its looking quite crappy these days as well.

The Esplanade in my opinion has the biggest opportunity to rejuvenate Sufers Paradise. I mean how many restaurants and shops line the Esplanade - very few! Soul will help to change that and hopefully we'll have a rejuvenated Esplanade. It has such potential and I'd eventually love to see all cars removed from the Esplanade and for it to be turned into a pedestrian zone.

TOCC · September 30th, 2009, 08:23 AM

yeah your right Jayt, there isnt many resturants or cafes along the esplanade at all, seems a bit odd

tayser · September 30th, 2009, 12:58 PM

410 Elizabeth St

Assuming it scrapes in for this thread as its 51 levels (51 *3 etc).

Bullswool · September 30th, 2009, 03:08 PM

What's with all the proposals in Melbourne atm?!

looks interesting

Marty_ · September 30th, 2009, 03:32 PM

Their economy is in better shape than most other states and their population growth is not that far behind SEQ. Maybe it's even overtaken us by now (stats will tell us once released).

QLD is fast becoming a victim of bad management. Development is really drying up.
