ADELAIDE South Australia
Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and has a metropolitan area population of approximately 1.2m.
Unfortunately for Adelaide it has been held back from building very tall buildings due to a combination of height restrictions imposed by the City Council and the bodies in control of airspace requirements. At present the tallest building is the Westpac tower at 135m. Here is a couple of buildings on the drawing board Spire Living - 107m - 37lvl http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...r_20071104.jpg Hanging Gardens Hotel - 81m - 22lvl http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...d/Hindley2.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...d/Hindley4.jpg |
This one has been approved.
123m 31lvl office building with an unusual overhanging curved section! http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...20070921_1.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...rieStreet1.png http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...rieStreet2.png |
I think Adelaide is an underrated city.
Sad about the height restrictions, they hurt most cities. |
hopefully amidst all these financial meltdown the projects above will complete as scheduled. not really concerned if the first two gets constructed. we reall need need a tower like 31lvl to really liven up the city's boring artchitecture.
i dont think adelaide is an underrated city. it's just a best kept secret in australia, mate! |
The wonderful 22 Currie St project has been cancelled, It was to be Adelaides 2nd tallest.
Alas it is no more. Sauce: Adelaide Now |

Here in Vancouver, the height restrictions downtown have really cramped our style in a number of instances. |
hopefully one day, they'll lift the height restrictions and Adelaide can catch up to melbourne, brisbane and perth.
(sydney also has height restrictions, 275m) |
I don't think all cities have to have high skylines to be interesting. I've seen places that I thought looked good, that had nothing taller than around 30 stories, give or take, if that.
It's how it all looks as old and new are put together. |

Adelaide, San Diego feels your pain
San Diego also labors under downtown height restrictions because of the nearby airport. 500 feet (about 175 meters?). I find Adelaide's plan interesting, the way the downtown area is almost surrounded by parkland like an island. The climate is also somewhat similar to San Diego, with a winter rainy season and fairly mild temps year round. "Mate" cities in many ways. Stay classy Adelaide, and your mate city San Diego will try too also :-)
