Apartment Building |

These ultra-luxury apartment buildings were
highly contentious at the time, as people were amazed by the great view
and urban space that was created by the demolition of the office buildings
that previously occupied the site. Talking about the harbour became
briefly fashionnable, and there were even many serious calls to knock down
the Cahill Expressway, thus opening the Quay fully. Thank goodness the
cognoscenti have found something else to talk about (you know who you
are.....!). The harbour-side of the development, whilst enveloping a public street, has provided a very nice colonade with bars, restaurants, a cinema, etc. |
