As everybody expected, the old Cathay apartments next to Cathay Building will be redeveloped soon, and the project is undertaken by WOHA architects.
Here is the old building as of now, ready for demolition.
And that's the sign next to a big "Coming Soon".
Quoting Richard Ellis, expected size of the development is 60,000 sqf.
Yep.
In fact this sign has been hanging there for quite a few months, but no news on the development. The sooner the better, that derelict appartment building really is an eyesore.
Developer = Handy Investments Pte Ltd
Land Tenure = FH
Expected Date of Vacant Possession = 31 Dec 2009
Expected Date of Conveyancing of Legal Title = 31 Dec 2012
If you visit the website (link above), the design of each unit is unique in that development. Only 12 units left... at launch.
Note that the render has 6 floors of residential units, while the actual building only has 5... So I assume another floor is going to be added on the top (penthouse second floor and swimming pool maybe ?)
What is the best way driving towards Mount Sophia?
Is Edinburgh Rd assessible to Sophia Rd? Or is it better to go to Secegie Rd, turn left to Sophia Rd? Someone told me to avoid the heavy traffic at Bukit Timah Rd.......
