Bilby has seen so many developments over the last ten years I just assume any demolitions on the street means another apartment building.

It would be good to see this block redeveloped. The whole neighbourhood west of Agricola is ripe for rebuilding, including Macara and Russell Streets above this. Similar redevelopment potential as the Almon/Isleville mid-rise cluster had before that started getting built-up.
Unrelated,
some demolition will be going on down on Queen Street in a week. I assume this is the vintage row buildings. A lot of people are going to be mourning this stretch; I honestly am not too bothered by this (compared to other potential losses, like the Alehouse--though apparently there may be some negotiations underway with Ramia on that). What bothers me more is that, to my knowledge, the development here isn't imminent, which means the land will be cleared and empty for who knows how long before it gets replaced.
