There are somewhere between 15-30 surface parking lots within a 5 minute walk of the Hunter Go Centre. An important thing, that I've discussed ad nauseam here is that height isn't the only important thing.
Place making is incredibly important. James S and Augusta have a culture and are a place to go. Character has an effect on that, and these add to that character by adding something new, but also meeting the area where it's at. That's good so that the Go centre has something nearby that isn't just housing. It also means more people will have places to go nearby.
The other thing is cost. If this builder is doing this because they're making a profit. That's a good thing. That means they'll continue to make investments in the community. We need these to be built quickly to keep up with demand. A great benefit of wood construction is that it can go up faster, especially at this height because no tower crane is required. That means we can build housing quickly. Cobalt is going to be great for downtown, but won't be done for many years. These will likely be done before that.
