Commenting on the story: Adelaide’s new tallest building set to dominate skyline

Why? – Angela Bannon

This type of development is clearly desirable if the city is to continue to grow effectively. What is not desirable is the closing off of traffic lanes in major thoroughfares for long periods of construction.

Pulteney St and to a lesser extent Flinders St are major thoroughfares and should not have traffic restrictions that prevent efficient movement of traffic. The closure of North Terrace, Pulteney St and Frome St during recent construction periods are salient points to consider.

Construction must find solutions rather than burden the city with undesirable and frustrating disruptions to free movement of traffic. – Eric Granger

What an eyesore. Adelaide is losing its character and charm – rapidly. – Jane Osborne

Why? Why do we need to encroach further on the city skyline, aerospace, increase the potential wind tunnels and shadowing of our city and heritage buildings when we have so many other options? When this building will add nothing to Adelaide’s appeal and is not necessary.

I suppose it comes back to the dollar, yet again. Terribly sad and very maddening that developers and vested interests have so much power to ruin a lovely city. – Marilyn Kingston

This is an abomination for Adelaide. The only ones benefitting are the developers and the the Adelaide City council. Not the community.

The charm of Adelaide is its uniqueness amongst Australia’s capital cities as a low rise village like city that you can walk through, have access to light and sky and not be caught in wind tunnels.

Keep it as a walkable, cycleable low-rise city and with its uniqueness will continue to attract tourists. Change the skyline and you will ruin it forever. – Karen Lever
