Very nice, very clean! Has the official height been released?

Stu

WOW!!! Awesome design! Good addition for an allready cool skyline! :)

Very nice, very clean! Has the official height been released?

Stu

yep, its 245m :)

Holy, thats a great design!

Very nice big renderings, look at the swimmingpool on the roof...:eek:

I'm mesmerised...

Not only one of the world's top ten, It's one of the world's best looking structure I'v ever seen so far...Way to go Singapore ! :okay:

6 star ?

That is the same building that it is discussed in another thread just here, that "Breaking news: ... " started by "Redstone"

No doubt, a great one!!!

Yeah it is. We are going to plan a visit to the showroom together in another thread as well. :D

have seen this one here as well
but i can once more say it's a great tower for a great city

it's a nice tower, much better render than that old one. good stuff singapore.

I do like the perspective from the water alot..but what do you guys feel about its backside (the second rendering)? I dont think it is entirely pretty from there except for maybe the euphoria of sheer height (not that its very tall btw)?

Fantastic looking building ... amazing design.

:eek:

Beautiful redering, wonderful tower...:eek:

I love it! :D

Nice! :)

any renderings of it in the skyline?

Lookin good.

Fantastic design but it won't be one of the top ten tallest apartment towers in the world by the time it is built.

I like the pools.

yup anyone visiting Singapore should visit the showroom at Collyer Quay, which is just adjacent to the site.

http://img49.exs.cx/img49/8675/sailnitepano.jpg

awesome!

Ditch the Tennis court and build a 3rd tower!

It has thousand over units, right? May I know the land size? It looks kind of small in the picture. Do you think it's proportion to the no. of units?

Beautiful design - looks very feminine.

I'm also mesmerised. Absolutety awesome design.

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, looks really really good, great design too :)

Ditch the Tennis court and build a 3rd tower!
:D If you guys are wondering, the configuration of the towers was actually "forced" into those corners because a subway line runs diagonally right beneath the site.

As for some of the site's tech details, check out this old press release just before the site was put up for sale:

http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/text/pr02-10.html

Site Area: 9,090.0 (m2)

really futuristic tower.

The site of the development:

http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/graphics/pr02-10a1.gif

Notice the MRT line cutting through the development.

There have been 35 posts already and so far the reviews are all VERY VERY GOOD. Its rare that a Singapore skyscraper receives all good ratings so far in the thread without a single negative one. There should be a poll for this. Someone add it please...and add ''The Sail @ Marina Bay (70 Floors/245m/2007), Singapore'' or something like that. Thanks. You could merge the earlier threads of this and create a duplicate of the new thread in each of the corresponding sections too.

lol indeed

well a stunning building deserves to have a thread all to its own!

heck some other projects overseas can have threads repeated like many times :yes:

One tower would be called Central Park Tower, because it would face a park tentatively called Central Linear Park.

The taller tower is called Marina Bay Tower. :)

Can someone please merge all the threads of this project in all International sections and then duplicate ONE copy each of this newly merged thread in all the corresponding international sections? We need some consolidation of information and pictures here.

And rename the thread appropriately too.

Burj Dubai has countless threads about itself.

http://www.ura.gov.sg/cudd/cawebsite/images/dt-bfh-enlarge01.jpg
Here it is. The plot is labelled 'Site sold in 2002'.

Notice the faint line beneath the site marking out the route of the MRT? :D

Anyway the site plan configuration is the old one...it has since changed quite alot.

Oh, you mean the towers' footprint?

this towers rocks!What a wonderful design. :wow:

Wow, cool building.

Initial success of The Sail@Marina Bay gives fillip to city-living concept

8 Nov 04

by Alan Chow

The Sail@Marina Bay has been the name on everyone’s lips in the residential market. It has been reported that more than half of the 250 units launched by City Developments Ltd/AIG Global Real Estate were sold in the first weekend of its launch.

We believe there are a several key factors that led to the project’s robust sales. Firstly, the project is located only a stone’s throw away from the Raffles Place and Shenton Way areas, which are the focal points of the Central Business District. Owners of these future homes who work in the vicinity will save on travelling time and costs. Secondly, the new Downtown@Marina Bay is envisioned by the government to be a place to live, work and play through the seamless integration of offices, homes, shopping malls, food and beverage outlets, theatres, parks and open spaces. With such a commitment by the government, new residential demand in this new district will be created as Downtown@Marina Bay develops. Thirdly, from the market’s perspective, the overall residential market has been improving since the beginning of the year and prices have been edging up as reflected by the URA quarterly price index. Market confidence has obviously strengthened and the timely launch of The Sail@Marina Bay has captured some of the pent-up demand.

Besides The Sail@Marina Bay, other developments such as Icon at Gopeng Street and the future residential development at the Natwest Centre site at McCallum Street will bring the city-living concept closer to reality. Altogether the three projects will generate slightly more than 2,000 private residential units. This will result in a shift in landscape of the Central Business District over the next few years.

Owner-occupier demand for these residential units will probably come from singles and young couples with no children. For the former, living in the city complements their lifestyle and offers more convenience – they will be in the heart of commercial centre and at close proximity to work, shopping and entertainment areas. For the latter, they would be more receptive to living in the city area as there is no need for them to be near schools, which are mostly located in the suburbs. In addition, we are seeing an increasing number of expatriates working in Singapore who are taking the opportunity to invest in such properties for their own occupation.

These city homes will also attract investors who are eyeing the rental income. Both locals and expatriates who work in the commercial areas nearby may find it convenient and cost-efficient to rent such homes.

The Sail@Marina Bay offers city-living housing along the waterfront. The panoramic view of Marina Bay, together with the fact that the project is going to be one of the world’s ten tallest residences, will appeal to buyers who aspire to such a lifestyle. The success of this project will put the city-living concept in the limelight and is likely to give a boost to more residential developments in the Downtown@Marina Bay area.

The Sail will be awesome!:) :cucumber:

Fantastic design but it won't be one of the top ten tallest apartment towers in the world by the time it is built.

They could mean tallest in terms of roof though, minus all those decorative spires etc.

it would then come in at no 11.

haha who knows why they called it top 10. Maybe they ranked it according to some criteria or maybe they were just basing their claims over old data.

Whatever the case, it doesnt make much difference. I would choose number 11 over number 10.

If its going to be in both Singapore and Malaysia then it must have a really big footprint!

Still looks very good.

Beautiful towers!

Singapore will be a city of Malaysia in 2007? I didnt see that coming... :D

Singapore will be a city of Malaysia in 2007? I didnt see that coming... :D

Interesting.......I'll be down in Singapore quite often then! :D

It will be officially launched this Thursday, 11 November 2004! :banana:

Interesting.......I'll be down in Singapore quite often then! :D
Yeah loh..but you stil have to pay for road pricing...:D

I hope it was peaceful union...then we shall see PAP and UMNO fighting it out at the next general election....no more one-party dominance which our nay sayers like to poke fun at! :lol:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

hahaha...yea so true ...so true.....

And Air Asia's boss would be delighted! :lol: ....I think he would still insist on Seletar! :lol:

You think they would expand the MRT to JB? :D

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

hahaha...yea so true ...so true.....

And Air Asia's boss would be delighted! :lol: ....I think he would still insist on Seletar! :lol:

You think they would expand the MRT to JB? :D
And just like what happened in KL, he can go suck his thumb coz he wont get it. :D

MRT to JB ah...dunno leh.....wat if they still cant decide wat to do with the bridge and stuff? :D

I hope it was peaceful union...then we shall see PAP and UMNO fighting it out at the next general election

I think to be peaceful they would start suing each other first! :lol:

hahaha.....do you think the MRT would branch out from Woodlands station or Kranji? :D

Sometimes I get so bored that I actually draw my own map of the MRT extending to JB from Woodlands. One station at Woodlands, one at the checkpoint, one at the JB checkpoint and the other at Larkin Bus Terminal. Very cool...haha...If that happens it will be so cool. Whats stopping me from going to JB now is the tedious process of taking the bus all the way there.

I think to be peaceful they would start suing each other first! :lol:

hahaha.....do you think the MRT would branch out from Woodlands station or Kranji? :D
Its more logical to branch out from Woodlands, although it will be hard to build a line though that area lah....

2 party fights are so common nowadays...just look at the recent elections in US and Taiwan. Maybe they are better splitting into two countries like here too. :D

Ahem...

Gentlemen... :lol:

great building

Ahem...

Gentlemen... :lol:
Erm..yes? :D

^^^ Did they left out One Raffles Quay on purpose? :D

....so that they could give the illusion of 'unblocked' views? :D

Please refrain from chatting in the world forums... :lol: :D

I think that Singapore need more residential building. They looks nice :okay:

I LOVE IT!! :eek2:

^^^ Did they left out One Raffles Quay on purpose? :D

....so that they could give the illusion of 'unblocked' views? :D

actually with the glassy Raffles Quay, residents can admire their buildings reflection! a good selling point :lol:

Muahaha! Yeah man....the condo sellers are apparantly quite reluctant to show a similar height box right beside them! :D

But I observed the angle of the blocks, and I actually realise it may not be that badly blocked afterall. The city-facing blocks actualy do get a reasonably good view of Shenton Way, with only the direction towards Cross Street being blocked.

yah

I cant describe it, but because 1 Raffles Quay is tilted at an angle, residents in the shorter tower would be able to look all the way into Raffles Place, so it cant be that oppressive. As for the taller tower - either a bay view or grassy green view

nothing can possibly feel oppressive if you know you're living in the heart of Singapore CBD :yes:

I really hope for an observation tower on the end of Linear Park, opposite Promontory! :cool:

http://img33.exs.cx/img33/715/sailpano2a.jpg
This view is GREAT!!! :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :runaway:

Construction equipment has moved onto the site

I dont know how I missed this thread because that building looks amazing.

so i suppose they just started construction. When is it supposed to be completed? 2007 I'd possibly think should be enough.

Expected Date Of TOP: 31 December 2009
Expected Date Of Legal Completion: 31 December 2013

Wonderful shape! loves it.

Woah.....they look...organic in this picture like two worms...hahaa! :D

Nice project... A beautiful addition to the already amazing SG skyline!

Wish KL can also have a residential tower so high... Here, our tallest all-residential is only 43-storeys (Mont' Kiara Aman)... The Sail is nearly double Aman's height...

27th January 2005

they have recently started digging the hole for the foundation, seen here

http://img189.exs.cx/img189/6388/sail27015hu.jpg

yes, this towers will be great, Singapore is one of my favourite city.

Absolutely stunning! :D

But erm is it completed in 2007 or 2013? I see conflicting posts here..

nice

cant be 2013 if they're digging the foundation now

It should be physically completed in 2008 or maybe 2007, I'll estimate 1 year to get the foundation complete. :cool:

2013 is the date of legal completion, some form of technicality.

merge?
