Buchan Lee Property Group bought the air rights to the top of the public carpark previously supporting the John Martins department store.
The apartment complex would ultimately provide an interesting view of the city, looking over North Terrace. From right-to-left: War Memorial, State Library, SA Museum and Art Gallery.
Continuing looking right-to-left: Art Gallery, University of Adelaide.
Construction subsequently commenced but the shear size of the concreate slab required to support the apartment complex required over a year to cure.
In the mean time an entire building (i.e., student accommodation) was constructed and finished on the eastern side of Austin Street.
