Wow... Another nice skyscraper for Penang!

How many storeys will this building have? From what i see in the artist's impression, looks like nearly 30-floors...

ZaHiRnYa??? · April 27th, 2004, 02:17 PM

The construction started already or not?

glenj · April 27th, 2004, 05:31 PM

Seems to be about 23 storeys.. I'm still hoping for a 40+ companion for Komtar

Hmmm...an ugly place to build such building..and personally, Penang Times Square???? Can anyone find a nicer name or something totally "Penang" for example?

it is a ugly place but it is better to do something than just leaving it there. i think the place has been like that for a decade already.

i think Penang Times Square sounds odd. before that, the project was called Escoy place, named after the tin melting factory.

they should develop the empty space beside it, now used as a car park. then, they can build a pedestrian bridge into it
