Tracking the developments in Perth

Another tower to the Elizabeth Quay area and to the Perth CBD. Soon, Perth is going to look like Singapore, London or Dubai.  This $300 million 45 storey building is to feature a 20 storey service apartment and hotel development with at art gallery and viewing platform at the 45th storey. 

The view platform for public access will probably be the first of its kind in Perth Finally bringing Perth in line with other major cities that have such viewing platforms such as the Auckland Tower, Sydney Tower, Ion Tower, Taipei 101.

Offering 360 degree view of the city and the swan river, this place will no doubt be something to look forward to.

WA State Government has entered into stage 2 detailed assessment phase. The $1.85 billion proposal is for two towers (36 levels and 75 levels) to be built in the Perth CBD between Perth & McIver Train stations bringing Perth in line with 327 other World Trade Centres around the world. The building would be approximately 202 metres high making it the fourth tallest building in Perth just below Central Park (249m) and Brookfield Place (244m) and 108 St George Tce (214m).

 Perth is finally starting to look like an 21st century major city. 

The proposal however includes 1,100 apartments which when added to the current supply of residential housing developments going all over the Perth CBD, it may lead to a housing over supply.

Burswood Stadium Bridge design finally out!  Estimated date of completion - end of 2016.  I think this is the first Perth design that’s actually unique looking! Excited for it to be completed. And one of the few constructions in Perth that will be completed within a year! Things are finally looking better

New Development over the Old Chemistry Centre at 101 Hay Street, East Perth! Proposed development includes a "little eats street" and other shops including a sky park overlooking queens park! More vibrancy to East Perth to expect in the coming years.

The Uniting Church is joining in the Construction boom in Perth having just submitted plans to build a 41 storey residential tower right behind the heritage church. It might work or it might not... the current artist impression makes it look rather plain looking. And overpowering over the small church in the front. Let's hope their design would beautify Perth's skyline and not make it worst that it already is.

Masterplan proposal to redevelop South Perth and restore the original lagoon that was infilled in the 50s when Narrows Bridge was built. 

The proposal includes a riverfront restaurant, pedestrian bridge and restoration of black swan habitats.

Also in proposed for future considerations is the redevelopment of the Oll Mill precinct which currently looks extremely run down, and potential for a museum and marina. 

Together with the newly proposed 30 storey apartment by Frasers along Mill Point Road, looks like South Perth is becoming exciting too. Hope this will all happen soon while I'm still working there so that I can enjoy the benefits of a more lively and beautiful foreshore =)

Well check that out! 7-Eleven is opening it's first store in WA next month and it's bringing along a good friend -Krispy Kreme! Finally we're gonna get our share of that sugar loaded donut that melts in your mouth, AND, More after hours stores! Unless they put a operating hours restriction on 7-Elven which would be stupid because although the name 7-Eleven came about because of it's original operating hours of 7am to 11pm 7 days a week, 7-Eleven is open 24/7 all over the world. But I guess you never know. It is Perth.

The newly proposed woodside towers to be build over the old emu brewery site which has been vacant for almost 2 decades along mounts bay road.

The proposal is for a 41 storey residential tower, a 120 room hotel and a 31 storey office tower to be built over 55,000 sq metres and collectively to be called Capital Square.

Expected completion date fro the office towers is expected to be 2018 which is the year when Woodside Petroleum's current lease expires. 

Perth city skyline is about to be redefined again. Hopefully the designs will blend in... from the pcitures, it just looks like 3 towers that sticks out randomly over a bunch of short buildings.

The New Perth Stadium design has been revealed! A five tiered bronze dish that is set to be able to seat 60,000 people with 85% under cover.

There will also be over 70 food and beverage outlets offered! Perhaps the biggest collection of F&B options in Perth. 

Completion is due in 2017.

Premier reveals plans for $2 billion airport link tunnel

The Airport Link is officially announced! Though about 10 years late.... and they're gonna need another 6 years to build it. Expected date of completion 2020. Let's hope there are no additional delays. The airport is the main gateway to every city and to have an airport that is not connected to the city is a real shame. Perth is finally moving into the 21st century. Let's hope it does before the 22nd century comes around. Always playing catching up with the other cities...

The Future of City Link! Another exciting Perth Project creating an urban community of shops, offices, hotels and residential in the middle of Perth City and reconnecting the CBD to Northbridge. This will further add to the vibrancy of Perth and increase our urban connection.

Perth Airport's Vision!

I really hope this becomes a reality. The current Perth Airport looks really sad.... just spent 6 hours there a week ago waiting for my flight. Almost died of boredom. 

However, the expected completion date for everything to come in place is 2034. 20 years from now! The world may have already ended by then....
