I was there in January but no sign of new construction there? hope it's near the Crown Prince(ss?) hotel, then Tg Bungah will begin to look like Gold Coast Agree with all.. nice design! :D

^^ the strait regency has a very different design than the other buildings in that area.

hope it doesn't make that area look weird

BTW, the place where they are clearing the land (behind the buildings) is the site of The Waterfront?? looks quite big from this angle.. maybe it's bungalows?? or more buildings??:D

I passed by Straits Regency daily on my way home. It is now about 90% complete now. The structure is completed. They painted the building with various shade of green. They are installing the windows (green tint) on the higher floors. However, the crown is still not installed yet. Can't wait to see the fully completed building!!

While I am usually reluctant to utter criticism about buildings, I do agree with you here, TWY. The dull green of the cladding in combination with the muddy color of the building make for an overall very dreary effct. :ohno:
