Adelaide is growing up but a man aiming to deliver Adelaide’s tallest building believes we can go higher.

Adelaide must lift building heights to drive more investment and get more people living and working in the CBD says the man who is helping to deliver what will be the city’s tallest building.

Adelaide’s tallest building, 135m Frome Central (left) and neighbouring 132m Realm at 132m, which were developed following easing of building heights in 2012.

Chris Vounasis, director of Adelaide planning consultancy Future Urban, said the time was ripe to review building heights in the CBD, taking account of existing and approved buildings, and the renewed focus on Adelaide as a place to live.
