This Marketing Tower was previously named by Me as "Unknown 39 Storey Tower"...lol...:D ...anyway, I went to the site and asked the guard in front of the site which he seems to doesn't know anything, but yeah...

Marketing tower is a 39-storey residential Tower located just right next to the "SUKHUMVIT TOWER" in Sukhumvit Soi 1.....According to the sign in front of the construction site : The tower will be finished by the middle of 2004.

The construction company is the same as The World Trade Center : K-Tech Construction.

BTW...I still can't find the rendering yet, anybody??..:?

Another update from Oct, 24 2003 : u can also see the K sign just like at the WTC site..

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310dsc02710.jpg

hmm. i guess Thai people really like number 3 or 9.
since most buildings in Bangkok donot surpass 39 storeys:D
most are around 30-39 storeys.:)

They should make more 93 storey skyscrapers :)

Yeah I agree with you Jo. :D

Nov 16, 2003 :....Currently on the 24th floor, 15 more to go before topped-out by the begin'ng of next year..:cool:

Hmm.. they must hurry up if it is to be topped out in the beginning of this year. Looks like they have 14 floors to add first :dunno:

This is the bad news :

I went to the site and asked the security When exactly this tower going to be finished. and He saids that The Tower it's self is actually 24 storey, but the 39-floors is the maximum height that the tower can extended to. It's structurally built to supports 34-full-floor which can extende anytime needed.....

......Thats sad....:bleep:

Oh no.. it was going to be so tall and slim :cry:

Well, at least we are going to see it completed sooner ;)

Why did he mention both 34 and 39 floors as possible future max.. would the top five floors be smaller, like at Taipei101?

I agree with you BKKinTO :)

..but there is no glass yet, only the framework, right? :?

Quite slender for a 24 storey tower

Yeah, there are only frames......quite excited how the windows will look.....Hope it's not blue....:)

ofcouse, what u think that glass-frame will use for then.....:D :D

Sure!

BTW, I hope for glass with no distinct color at all so it can get this effect (http://kyckling.nu/fult/bilder/fult/skrapor2.jpg) (first highrise to the left in the pic)

Makes the building look clean or something

Yeh, I hope they will use that type of glass too Jo, I dont really like those mercury-reflecting-colored-glass.....looks old-fashioned already.....For Example my type of glass is the Glass-Box-Entrance at the Krungthai Bank Nan Heard Quarter.....Looking good doesnt it.....:cool:

Exactly! :happy:

Looks good at night too, as you can see all the interior lights from outside very clearly.

Gotta get some sleep now, it's 5:20am :dizzy:

Note : In my opinion, This tower doesnt look bad at all, the dark-ocean-green color windows goes perfectly with the with wall and yet the glass cladding facade on another side has not yet be seen because of the scarf-folding...But yet so far This tower looks good to me...;)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05186.JPG

i don't like the sides but yeah, better than nothing.

The glass facade makes this building survive

:)

yeh.. i'm not disappoint too. that side which i ever think it's make this building looks ugly but now seems they added some element like vertical line which make they not looks boring like police-flat ..... so interesting :)

This building amazed me.It came out pretty good. Have to wait till they finished the glass facade.

I'll go take th epics of the frontal facade too, pretty nice aswell...:)

I heard the Segways are seen sometimes in Lumpini park. I've have not seen one in real life yet.

The tower came out quite nicely. It looks like a different tower at every angle. :)

Yeh, this building impressed me....:)

The skytrain is really tall there it seems, just compare with the carpark building to the left!

Yep, should be around 6-7 Storey high in the sky....

Yes its higher in that area because of the expressway. Thats why Ploenchit Station has an extra 'floor'.

Yep....:okay:
