Good to see that long-vacant building finally getting a recladding job... Btw, who is the operator of the serviced apartment at the upper floors, just to ask?

@Post 24:What a crappy new cladding,they should stick with the same color...

D_Y2k.2^ · May 18th, 2010, 03:39 AM

They are removing the glass shades as well

Lets hope they'll retain the spires!

THT-United · May 18th, 2010, 03:27 PM

Eh, they are also removing the shades?

Wow, this makes the building look so plain... And what's with those yellow spots on the sides?

From ugly to super max fugly!!!

dengilo · July 25th, 2010, 04:54 PM

Victor18 · July 25th, 2010, 05:17 PM

That's bad

The Marinara Tower was completed in 1999, I didn't know it was vacant. In the building's reconstruction, why are they overhauling its facade and incorporating yellow panels on it?

THT-United · July 27th, 2010, 03:34 PM

Beats me, but it makes an okay building become a near-fugly!

Still, I'm just curious as to why an 11 year old building was left vacant all this while, couldn't find tenants, I presume?

Joe_centennial · July 27th, 2010, 11:29 PM

oh dear i really hope the facelift works will not damage it's beauty. i still remember when i was a kid looking up high on this building and said "damn this building is pretty".
