You couldn’t get a site more central to a capital city CBD and you couldn’t get a vision as big as the $300 million project property developer Barrie Harrop has unveiled for Victoria Square, Adelaide.<\/p>\n
One of two new hotels announced by Harrop’s Thrive Construct, the Adelaide building will be constructed of cross laminated timber (CLT) and green steel, and will reach a height of 31 levels or 100 metres.<\/p>
Harrop told @AuManufacturing: “When it is completed it will be the tallest international hotel in the world constructed of CLT.<\/p>\n
“The structure is completely carbon neutral and constructed from renewable plantation pine and green steel – all supplied from Australian industry.”<\/p>\n
The timber for the Cox Architects-designed building will be produced by Queensland manufacturer XLam, which manufactures engineered timber for prefabricated mass timber construction.<\/p>
