Hi There,

That should be where Garden Road meet Macdonell Road (out of frame), where the site had been redeveloped.  YWCA still stands though.

The concrete structure at the left bottom of the photo is the foot bridge towards the Botenical & Zoological Garden across.

The Peak Tower is there, it opened in 1972. The building under construction (top left) should be Grenville House, also opened in 1972. So this year should be a good estimate.

I think the building under construction might be Branksome, Grenville House should be off camera to the left of Century Tower 1. Branksome opened in 1976 so if that is the building in question the date can be moved forward to 1974/5. 

Phil, you are right. The slim high-rise on the left is likely Century Tower I from 1971, and Branksome is right of it. Your estimate for the date is likely correct.

May Tower opened in 1974, Branksome was under construction in 1975, the image is probably mid-late 1975

 

Should work when clicking on "Edit", then "Additional information", then editing "Date completed".

Otherwise David can do it.
