btw, is there still an ORQ construction thread active?
xix19xix October 30th, 2006, 04:57 PM I love the building. The only problem is that it's leasehold at 99 years. :(

The owners of ORQ own the plot of land ORQ sits on.
As for the subterranean space taken by up by MRT tunnels, they would usually be owned by the State, and underground station boxes are owned by the Land Transport Authority (a government statutory board).
Private developers are still able to own subterranean spaces, for basements and underground spaces. Ownership doesnt have to be limited to at-grade and above only.

Genç December 25th, 2006, 12:15 AM Interesting choice of facade. I was expecting it to be of a much lighter shade...perhaps because of the "near-white" rendering we saw?

I am delighted that it will not be green like its 2 neighbours.
It is a little hard to judge it based on the pics so far, I am sure it will look real stunning when the sun shines on it. And I hope it will be nicely lit up at night like in the renderings :yes:

aspirin February 13th, 2007, 07:07 PM Will this tower be the tallest in this cluster?
no.
it will be as tall (one of the two towers) as the blue one just next to it (approx 245m). the three tallest ones you can see, are all the same hight, and will stay tallest unless the gov changes the hight limit (currently approx 280.2 meters).

colemonkee February 21st, 2007, 10:44 PM Great update! The glass appears to have more of a blue tint to it, which is refreshing. I was worried about too much green glass in one area.
RafflesCity February 22nd, 2007, 01:52 PM The Sail is rather 2-faced: extremely wide from one angle, and FLAT from the side ;-)
Muse February 22nd, 2007, 11:36 PM This took forever to start, now it's tall-ish and being clad. Great!
Thanks for the updates.
RafflesCity February 23rd, 2007, 01:33 AM The piling works and digging out the base took about 1 year (which was faster than expected because the 1 Raffles Quay development took about 1.5years to start rising).
One reason could be the reclaimed land that these new projects sit on, I suppose having carparks above-ground help speed up the rising process though :cheers:

DamienK March 5th, 2007, 05:30 AM Great stuff. The adventurous form of this tower makes up for that boring green brick nearby. I always felt it brought down the sculptural quality of Singapore's skyline.

Flanked by 1 Marina Boulevard (NTUC Building) & the 1 Raffles Quay project on one side & Marina Bay Financial Centre scrapers on the other side, this area is becoming a beautiful "Sea of Green", although Marina Bay's cladding is yet to be seen. If we include the beautiful aqua-coloured water of The Harbour, then it literally becomes that "Sea of Green" :)
Green just happens to be my favourite clolour, so I appreciate all the differing shades of the green-coloured cladding overall.
Thanks :okay:

Nice updates, these towers are growing very fast
RafflesCity March 12th, 2007, 02:56 AM Thanks Muse :)
I agree that the green was a much needed colour-relief to the existing skyline...but looks like the Sail will have a slightly more bluish tinge...hopefully!

The afternoon sun hits at the non-bay view units on both towers.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa277/tiong_guan_ng/sail11.jpg
Specially taken for Shctaw - the low floor non-bay view units, 0x-xx, Tower 1 ....
0x-07 will be better as it's further from the car park due to the curvature nature of the car park design..., i.e. 0x-11, 0x-10 will be very closer to the car park. Also, the higher the unit, the further the distance to the car park.

RafflesCity July 24th, 2007, 02:50 AM The superstructure is progressing gradually, but the cladding from the front angle has slowed down. However, I believe they are cladding the rear, which has a different facade.
It should reach full height end of the year or at least sometime early next year, I'm guessing.

ctkdanny August 4th, 2007, 06:47 PM Amazing sight of the Sail indeed! One Shenton would look as good in time to come...
Slodi August 5th, 2007, 12:50 AM nice construction. can't wait to see it live in three weeks.

cliff's picture is really beautiful as usual, but does anyone else think ntuc building looks like some daring design - from the 60s?
why dont we get stuff like this

it's a mixed use development in the siberian town of khanty mansiysk - only 60,000 people! tampines could easily have one right?

Almost. For Marina Bay Tower (the taller one), few more floors to go. Also the "pinnacle" of the 'sail' is yet to be built. I have no idea what's in that pinnacle tho :)

Alle October 4th, 2007, 10:32 PM I like the photos, especially the first one which really captures one of the essences of citylife and cities in general.
Somewhat unusual shape but its ok, the location suits it, the building will be clearly visible as its not surrounded by other skyscrapers. And it will be a good addition for the F1 race in Singapore.
Singapor3 October 7th, 2007, 06:09 AM Thanks.
It is supposed to be shaped as a Sail, but the top has not been completed yet. And yes, it is located at a nice location..

chinatown February 20th, 2008, 02:59 AM why dont they make the ground floor a bit grander? It seems quite small for a building at this calibre.

nygirl February 20th, 2008, 06:45 PM I always knew that these were going to turn out spectacular. I am pleased to say that it is even better than what I imagined. Dramatically reshapes the skyline, sleek, unique, and quite classy indeed.

Yep!
That's the new Marina Bay Financial Centre Phase 1. It consists of 3 245m-ish towers which consists of 2 office towers and one residential. On the other hand, there will be Marina Bay Financial Centre Phase 2, not very sure about the details yet but there will be at least one 245m-ish condo..

I'm new to this forum.
I'm very interested in buying one of the 2 bedroom units at The Sail, with seaview (both T1 or T2 are acceptable). What price am I looking at currently?
Thank you guys, have a good day :)
