The construction of the skypark is extremely impressive. Very unique.

It's impressive and unique indeed. Actually, is there any other skypark of this dimensions and at this height in the world? Well, I can think of bridges like SWFC or KL twin towers, but it's not exactly the same. Only the Pearl in Dubai will be even more impressive to me.

This is just amazing. When I first saw those buildings on a city model I thought there was no way they would build it anytime soon... and here we go. The whole area development (including the new pedestrian bridge) looks spectacular and impressive. I guess my next trip to Singapore will be with the main intention of seeing all of this completed.

I wonder if general public will be allowed to get ontop? It's going to be quite a location to observe panoramic views of Singapore. And most importantly an open-air one.

Yes Pansori, the skypark will be open to the public and I read that there will be an express lift to take you directly there. It will definitely be a totally new experience and a chance to capture brand new angles of the city skyline because no building has ever been built in that location before.

Lifestyle, thank you for those historical pics
