Wow! The Imperial will provide such awesome views of the skyline!

huaiwei · September 1st, 2003, 03:29 PM

The Imperial will still be blocked by Fort Canning hill, esp when its so short!

Marketing gimmick...I would say.

Hmm...then that would be a ripoff, although I saw an ad for it in the newspaper. I wonder why they call it the Imperial, because there used to a hotel called Imperial Hotel there..unless they demolished it.

Yes it does sit on the Imperial hotel site, which was demolished. I saw the ad too....I suppose u can only see half the skyline from that angle?

Signboard:

It is nearly topped out, it seems. It is not very tall, but it looks very dominating in its aera.

RafflesCity · January 27th, 2005, 12:18 PM

It surely dominates the area!

Its name is inspired by the former Imperial Hotel, which used to be on the same site I think.

Thanks for updating on this one!

Beautiful project, especally at the ground around the tower. But where in Singapore is Jln Rumbia/River Valley Road?

Monkey · January 31st, 2005, 09:57 PM

I hope they didn't mess with any ShopHouses there!

Pengui · February 1st, 2005, 01:39 AM

I don't think there have been shop houses here before as it is on the side of a hill... It is surrounded by a row of shophouse on one side, an indian temple on another side, and the rest is the hill :-)

Now that I think of it, it is not unlikely that 2 or 3 shophouses have been cleared to make way for the entrance of the building... Not sure, really !

hyacinthus · February 1st, 2005, 01:44 AM

The site was former Imperial Hotel. The Shophouses along River Valley Rd are still there.

RafflesCity · February 3rd, 2005, 06:54 AM

The old Imperial Hotel can be seen on the right of this pic (that brown blocky building)

Pengui · February 3rd, 2005, 07:01 AM

Do you want to book a room ?

LOL, has it been torn down yesterday or what ?

RafflesCity · February 3rd, 2005, 07:03 AM

oh..it was torn down..maybe in 2001?

the white and fanciful-looking Cockpit Hotel nearby was also torn down and they are building Visioncrest there now.

Pengui · February 3rd, 2005, 07:03 AM

Here is a pic taken in 1999. The hotel was still there and working !

4th March

I think it must be topped out now...

RafflesCity · March 4th, 2005, 01:35 PM
