^^ Reminds me of this one below on LaTrobe Street.

Wouldn't care if it doesn't go up at all.

Actually prefer what's there already.

Same architects i think - DKO Architecture

This had been approved, so it's just if it get's financed.

looks very average, especially the interiors, and for such a prominent spot

Seems to be a pattern with this architect thinking cheap concrete with obvious join marks and slightly darker colours in bits makes for good design in real life?

Just another filler, and not a good one at that.

Look at all those windows on the side boundary ! Bet purchasers arnt told they could be covered up by a new tower next door ! And interesting how it fits the height limit envelope, with 40m front bit, 10m setback - wonder why the citadenes hotel didnt do that ? The whole building is boxed in ! Also bit crazy to have giant windows looking north over Bourke Street - not only will this mean hot apartments (unless special thermal glass panels), but everyone will see in, bet the curtains will be always pulled.
