Yeah, I can see it from above/side, they've been on the top carpark level for the last few weeks. Not alot of visible movement really, but I'm sure alot is happening with foundations etc for the 'living' section.

Found this extra large picture - love the top!

The core has just risen above the base carpark level in the last day or so... It had been hiding for a while...

How is this one coming along? Core/floor number?

JayT · Oct 21, 2003

Its moving very slowly.

Its unusual though because although the core is at about level 6 or 7 and only about 5 levels have been poured the interiors like windows and fixtures are being added to the first levels of apartments - only about 2 levels below what has currently been finished. Its very strange.

Perhaps they want to build a show apartment and have it up and running before the tower goes any further.

Nice to see how it's coming along, since I don't work next to it anymore...

This tower really seems to have been forgotten by a lot of us. I guess its easy to forget its getting built since its heavily surrounded by other buildings, but it should look quite good when it starts poking above the other buildings around it.

When this building is complete it should tower over its neighbours and will be very obvious from the freeway and also from southbank. I guess people will start to take notice when its height begins to shoot up.

NCC1701D · Nov 5, 2003

They're up to level 10 at the moment. Expected completion date is supposed to be end of june. I cannot see that happening though. It has taken ages to get going.

Taken today (17-11-03). If it doesn't work, do the cut and paste thing.

Wow, someone has been busy today!! Thanks for all the photo's duke - your effort in bringing us construction pics is much appreciated by all.

Thankyou.

JayT

BTW, I noticed that Metropole seems to have shot up in the last few weeks. Perhaps they will go faster now.

I've been keeping a keen eye on this one, and is construction pace has definately accelerated in the last month.

GMAC · Dec 9, 2003

The core is definitely visible from the freeway now and this one will stick out more than we think!!

Orodreth · Jan 20, 2004

Driving across the freeway today, and what do I see Metropole, sticking out from all the clutter!
I couldn't believe I could see this little fella from the freeway!

You've got to be kidding. Gold Coast towers are rising at least twice as fast. Look at the Towers of C of R and Q1 for examples. :?
