View Full Version : HONG KONG | Nina Tower | 319m | 1047ft | 80 fl | Com _00_deathscar July 13th, 2007, 12:28 PM It topped out ages ago - they haven't completed the crown for fuck knows what reason initially, then there was the problem with the owner of the tower, Nina Wang, passing away. hkskyline July 13th, 2007, 12:30 PM Chinachem is quite notorious for going slow on some of its real estate developments. l'Hotel Repulse Bay has been sitting empty for a few years now and some of its residential projects are still being sold years after launching. EricIsHim July 13th, 2007, 03:08 PM Nina Tower was on hold for a few years because of the financial issue with the corporation and other Wang's family problems in the 90s. It was half way up and didn't go any further for quite a while. Everything was solved out in the last few years and it has been going up again. Nina Wang passed away had little influence on the construction phase as it only happened a few months ago wheen the building were pretty much done. Pax Sinica July 13th, 2007, 08:22 PM R.I.P. Nina didn't have a chance to see her topped out tower. Sbz2ifc July 24th, 2007, 08:46 PM Saw this picture in the ICC thread. Are we finally getting a glimpse of the crown? :) Some pics from Dchome.net http://www.aggress.hk/gallery/albums/YuenTsuenAncientTrial_070722/TsuenWan_pano_s.jpg M.Schwerdtner July 24th, 2007, 09:50 PM stunning pic ... zerokarma July 25th, 2007, 09:14 PM Looking good Muse July 25th, 2007, 09:17 PM lol It's unbelievable there is *still* mesh on the crown!? :lol: Cooooool pano! hkskyline July 29th, 2007, 07:59 PM 7/22 http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/20070722/IMG_8107.jpg superchan7 July 29th, 2007, 11:00 PM That's an odd highway reminder.

EricIsHim July 30th, 2007, 01:14 AM That's an odd highway reminder. TD makes good use of the VMS instead of turning them off. hkskyline July 30th, 2007, 05:35 AM That's an odd highway reminder. I have seen it on another signboard on the way to Lion Rock Tunnel from the Shatin side. gladisimo August 6th, 2007, 09:10 PM ^^ I think they all say that, I've seen 4 or 5 of them, they've all said that. gladisimo August 6th, 2007, 09:11 PM http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4112/img1259ei4.jpg BTW, guess from what car I took this? :) ZZ-II August 6th, 2007, 09:39 PM i see too less from the car :). i only can say it is no mercedes :) Inconfidente August 6th, 2007, 10:24 PM That´s going to be a nice building!

Hey, that's next to the incineration facility, right? The one they might tear down? gladisimo August 7th, 2007, 05:21 AM gladisimo, you rich bastard :) I think the crown is complete.

Nice pic, what camera do you use? gladisimo August 7th, 2007, 08:06 PM ^^ A710 IS, the reviews weren't lying, a fantastic point and shoot. I might get a S3IS (cheap) for some superzooming sometime. I posted a picture inside a car. Unless I'm mistaken, and I posted it somewhere else/ I was dreaming... Skybean August 8th, 2007, 05:06 AM Yes your post was deleted. My post replying to your post was deleted as well. I don't understand why your post would be deleted since it was providing a construction update. Rachmaninov August 26th, 2007, 09:02 PM According to my friend, today Nina Tower was lit up and the whole building flashed in patterns consisting of fireworks and flowers and the chinese word for Nina Tower appeared but this only happens on one side of the building. ZZ-II August 26th, 2007, 09:27 PM but i really don't understand what's going on with the top part FastFerrari August 27th, 2007, 03:06 AM to bad it couldnt have gotten a better location by victoria harbour...would look stunnin there or here...very nice building FM 2258 August 27th, 2007, 03:14 AM I can't believe the green stuff is still up there. What in the hell are they doing up there? :ohno: Jude12 August 27th, 2007, 05:21 AM wow. the top is not finished yet? spicytimothy August 27th, 2007, 07:56 AM I think it's kinda cool in an offbeat sorta way... where else are you really gonna find a modern skyscraper clad in green bamboo structure? It's so uniquely Hong Kong. Anekdote August 27th, 2007, 10:34 AM Maybe they forgot to remove the bamboos structure of the top. :nuts: EricIsHim August 27th, 2007, 03:05 PM Maybe that's part of the architecture Gattberserk August 27th, 2007, 05:23 PM Maybe that's part of the architecture Lol It mean it could have been completed long time already. bs_lover_boy August 31st, 2007, 06:59 AM Why is this tower taking so long??? Anybody know about the progress on the WHOLE project???? FM 2258 August 31st, 2007, 08:44 AM If I was in Hong Kong I'd probably drive or take a train to the location and ask a construction worker what is happening to the top. In front of my apartment they've been digging and putting pipes every where so one morning I just walked over and asked "what are you guys building here?" _00_deathscar August 31st, 2007, 09:12 AM ^ And what did he say? DAMN I m good August 31st, 2007, 01:30 PM this aint the same scale vader11 August 31st, 2007, 06:45 PM Why it never been finished? Is this because of the death of Nina Wong? FM 2258 August 31st, 2007, 06:56 PM ^ And what did he say? He said they're building town homes for D.R. Horton. He was also talking about having to rip up our street to access a water line for those houses. I can't find any information on line but it's in Austin on Parmer Ln near RM 620. EricIsHim August 31st, 2007, 07:40 PM Talking about home, it reminded me there were rumors about top of Nina Tower was planned to be home for Nina Wang. If this is true, maybe Chinachemis is trying to figure out what are they going to do with the top floors as Nina passed away earlier this year. Just a guess. _00_deathscar August 31st, 2007, 07:48 PM They could offer it to me...? mcdonnell77 August 31st, 2007, 08:20 PM Is this thing finished yet? ZZ-II August 31st, 2007, 08:38 PM not the top-part ( for over and half year i believe ^^ ) Skymyhusband August 31st, 2007, 08:56 PM Knitting steel takes a while :D ZZ-II August 31st, 2007, 10:14 PM why knitting???
