looks amazing. they were advertising those for weeks in GN, to be launched soon. love them.

could be taller though.

thats hot! now wat interests me is where is that bridge??

R

nice architecture
now they have put it into the hong kong skyline
i can see the island shangri-la or the conrad hotel ;)
they both look very similar

added to emporis

Very nice towers, but for the location they're too small. They're right next to "the skyscraper" so it would be much better if they were around 60 floors high

^^ however the facade should kinda fit

Great wave effect. But not tacky, very well done.

Actually thats a special height plot, but as long as they planed for twin tower they can not built more than 30 storey. In this case The Skyscraper will remain tallest tower on the main lake.

yes a nice building, but being next to the Skyscraper it will look very small

DP Architect have done a fantastic job on these two, just wish they were double in height. That would have made for a real landmark building.

Should be On Hold

Wow. This building looks great. And the KL pictures are amazing. I like the idea of a luxury mall in the same complex. Cant seem to find any resales of this tower so I guess investors are holding on to this - and rightly so.

Interestly the bridge actually looks like that,, Shame no construction. Was anything ever sold?

http://i33.tinypic.com/59vx20.jpg

Strange that this is not starting since this is an etastar project.

Malec.
Should be onhold as well,

I spoke to an agent a few days ago that has some resale units in Starhill and they mentioned that the next payment that is supposed to be taken when construction starts was recently requested by Eta Star to all the investors. Read into that what you will but hopefully this means that something will happen shortly.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2mh7ofm.jpg

isn't this another project?

As I see it, Skyscraper is using, and will need to use more of Starhills site for offices and storage. I suppose a benefit to anyone who started early, could of use adjacent plots. Going to be a squeeze when they are open for business.
