That is phenomenal-, truly some great projects listed. However, I was just wondering and by no means do I want to diminish the progress that KL, BKK or Manila are making, but are all these hotels, and condos necessary? I mean, are there enough people or is there enough demand for so much development in these sectors? One would imagine so by the pictures touting new developments..

Valid question. Just got back from Bangkok and so much development going on there, both commercial and residential.

I just wish infrastructural development would move as fast, traffic from central Bangkok all the way to Bang Yai just before New Year's holiday. Taxi drivers refusing to go anywhere near Sukhumvit or Anusawuri. Please extend BTS and Skytrain!!!

By the way, new airport building out of this world. Best looking airport in the world easily.

WATG unveils design for Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur



The Seattle office of international destination design firm Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG) is the design architect for the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, a 40-storey five-star hotel and mixed-use development in downtown Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One of the more notable design features of the project will be the hotel lobby. Instead of being on the ground level, it will be at the top of the building. When guests enter the building to check in, they will ride the express lifts to the lobby where impressive 360-degree views of downtown Kuala Lumpur will greet them. The building will also hold service apartments and offices. The contemporary hotel is currently in the design development phase, and is scheduled to open to the public in December of 2010. Since its founding in 1945, WATG has specialized in hospitality, leisure and entertainment design from its offices worldwide.

This looks similar to the St. Francis Towers in the Philippines... I like it!

Well Asean is home to more than half a billion people today. As long as the economy is growing, population is increasing and the middle income group becoming more affluent, I think these new developments are very feasible. Many reports in my home country now say that office and hotel occupancy averaged more than 70%. The city centre is about 90%. So looks like more developments are on the way ...

Demand for real estate is high in the Philippines. Other than growing consumer spending, we owe it to the booming IT sector. The former is mainly responsible for the development of high-rise residences and shopping centers. The former keeps demand for high-rise offices at a high.

Tourism is another factor. Tourist arrivals in the Philippines (particularly Manila, which is the gateway to the country) are up by double-digits for the past few years. The most recent luxury hotels that were put up was a second Manila Hyatt and Crowne Plaza, both built about three years ago. Demand is growing and hotel chains are looking up into the country for investments. As of now, only a Marriott Hotel is in the works. Plans for a Ritz-Carlton and a Grand Hyatt were put on hold.
