Hmmm.....instead of posting all my close-up pictures in 'my' thread.......I think I would open a new one similar to the one I had in the Malaysian Forums featuring close-ups of buildings and skyscrapers ;)



To start it off.....here's UOB :D

Yes. Surbana now occupies the old HDB HQ at Redhill. It now houses Surbana, CESMA and other HDB-related subsidiaries. NTUC and Han's are occupying the area where it used to be the sales/showflats.

That sculpture? Surbana logo. ;)

I'm beginning to appreciate such designs. I think sunshading is very much a feature of successful buildings in Singapore :yes:

Looks like an eagle. They are frequently seen flying over the Marina South and bay area, soaring effortlessly.
