The $250 million redevelopment on the former Le Cornu site at North Adelaide has been given planning approval.

The State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP) approved construction of three apartment towers set above two levels of retail, hospitality and commercial space at 88 O&rsquo;Connell St.

The tallest tower will be 15 storeys, the highest building outside of the Adelaide CBD.

The other two buildings will be 13 levels.

The 7560sq m site is set to be developed by Commercial &amp; General in a joint venture with Adelaide City Council, which paid $34 million for the site in 2017.

Each of the towers will have four penthouse apartments with rooftop pools above another 180 apartments.&nbsp;

They will comprise 28 one-bedroom, 125 two-bedroom and 19 three-bedroom apartments across the three towers.

Three split-levels of basement parking will include 394 spaces.

The Adelaide Advertiser reported site works have started for a display apartment which is expected to open in September.

Commercial &amp; General executive chairman Jamie McClurg noted the site had been a blank canvas &quot;sitting there for the majority of my adult life just waiting to be done.&rdquo;&nbsp;
