There's a certain irony to commencing construction of a 20-storey office building while surrounded by commercial vacancy signs, but according to the South Australian government, it's good for jobs and investment.
Key points:
Adelaide's office vacancy rate has soared to 16 per cent due to new builds and COVID-19
A large South Australian government department will move into a new 20-storey office block once it is built
Despite the building's contribution to the office glut, stakeholders believe the investment is worth it
