it's a bit like World Tower, looks like arse on the wide view, better on the slim view.

Yes CE are the el cheapo developer - isn't it obvious ? ;)

I actually like this apartment block! I love the dark elements! it sort of hides the evidence of being a "block of flats"!!! ive seen many many worse unit blocks!! this is fine!!
9/10.
Ps. when i think about it, i like most new skyscrapers!!! there all new friends!
cheers to Southpoint:cheers:

I quite like it ! As Cul said the darker, more 'corporate' tones, help camouflage any architectural deficiencies.

Yes, reminds me a bit of world tower. Agree it looks better from the side probably because it looks taller. Very undistinguished building.

I quite like it. The only thing I don't like, is the side front windows. It should of been from floor to ceiling windows, rather than having smaller square windows. Which the yucking side CE development. Too much painted concreate. 7.5/10

However you can't compare this developemnt to World tower. World Tower is in a different league. World Tower is same league as Eureka. Both worthy landmark development, which make any city proud. I love the World Tower side, as many contour shapes. Southpoint is just flat.

If Southpoint cheapest Melbourne apartment, I don't mind living in it!
