Another >30 floors condo, but this time, it will stand out quite prominently. I saw it standing up high from the Guang Ming San temple just last week.

you go to temple to pray? I thought you were Christian :D

anyway yes I saw a massive temple in that area..quite impressive.

No...my grandma was cremated there :cry:

Luckily the building is not too close to the temple....the temple in itself is a major high-rise landmark! :D

I can see it from my school.:D

i think i like this ... opposite high demand school summore..

Looks like it has topped out.

I see it everyday from my school! :)

I can see it from my school.:D

Huh! I can see it plain from my bedroom window! Beat that! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow, where you live?

I also can see it from my computer now, out the door, but blocked by 25-storey flat.
Can see the crane and a little bit of the tower...:D

I live at upper thomson, right next to thomson plaza

Took these about 3 minutes ago...

I can see only very little of the tower, like 2 storeys, a small corner of it.Blocked squarely by two highrises.:(

Haha. Looks like i'll be posting daily updates then. We could make an animation of the thing sprouting up if we took picture everyday and put them together, actually...

hmm..I saw it advertising in today's or yesterdays paper.

Is it completed?

No, its still far from completed. ;)

so slow ah..its been a month since I went there! :D

so its still wrapped up in ugly green nets?

Yes

Bishan Point

I wonder when theyll start unwrapping it, could be a new landmark for Bishan!

Actually the plot is suprisingly small!

To think a condo could be built on it! :eek:

I hope there will be more glass when its finished, to contrast with the neighbours :cheers:

small meh? looks quite big for a 1 condo development

It's so near to the HDB flats...

good mah..density and juxtaposition :D

Gardens at Bishan is a very good contrast to Bishan Point and the HDB flats! :D

:puke:

Why? :?

they look too chunky, like boulders..kinda scary

Looks like something from Europe.

Bishan isn't suitable for them. Orchard area is.

yah i think the location has a lot to do with it

Elaborate? :?

The Gardens at Bishan are really massive and its colors dont seem to look cheerful in Bishan, in fact quite oppressive

maybe if they were built near the Suntec area or East Coast the vastness of those areas will put them in place :cheers:

I still think the high-class Orchard area is more fitting for a condo of such design...

Quite true :yes:

Bishan needs more sleek glass buildings to complement the HDB blocks

AMK needs them more, I think...

And the condo plus office towers proposed in AMK was cancelled! :bash:

uh i think any building that tries to look like some english castle or something should die.

Um, actually there is!


There's one condo at Yio Chu Kang Road called Castle Green, which looks like a Gothic castle!
Very beautiful! :okay:

And it's HUGE! :eek:
Many towers, not just one!

uh there are many. i would consider the gardens to be one of those trying-to-look-like-castle condominiums. and the four seasons style condominiums should die also.

'Four season style' :?:?:?

those skin coloured condominiums with black curved windows...

those are next to the BLVD arent they?

yes there's a set of them next to blvd

they dont look too bad lar..better than Gardens at Bishan :P

uhm... but there are so many of them.. bishan got at least two...

Stripping of scaffolding had started! :banana:

try to grab a shot :cool:

From afar, it kinda looks like Int'l Plaza! :D

:eek2:

it looks broad!

its going to be pure white? i hope the glass will stand out like in the rendering

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/redstone2/bispt.jpg

uh i thought it was all glass in the rendering?

yah the rendering looks so different from real-life...its much whiter than expected

Any more pics?!

I might be abe to try...... :D
