This place looks like it was over-done. What is that in the middle? Half of a helipad? It is quite interesting, though. -> 8/10

i like the crown... i think its occupied by china club... really cool... for the super rich to exchange contacts i think. sort of like the tower club at the top of republic plaza.

8/10

Yup..it is occupied by the China Club..another exclusive outfit.
Although I had no business being up there, I was so adamant on going to the top I got my way with the receptionist.."Can I have just 5 min to look out of the window PLEEASE?"

A PoMo DISASTER. 4.5/10

Eddy · November 17th, 2002, 01:04 PM

It`s a little bit overdressed

7.5/10

I like the bizarre façade details, in fact I like most of the skyscraper, but the top part just ruins it all. It looks like some kind of tumor bulging out. 6.0/10

CG5 · November 21st, 2002, 05:01 AM

What the hell is that?? I've been hopping around the ROT forum tonight, voting on random supertalls, and almost everything i've seen thus far has been hideous Asian PoMo. WTF?

Bobdreamz · November 27th, 2002, 10:06 PM

well what's this..??...well it has an interesting design but then it gets progressively worse near the top which looks unfinished....bizarre...5/10

Beautiful! Makes the Singapore skyline less conservative!
10/10!

I'm glad I didn't get to visit Singapore until 2000. That way,
I was able to see Capital Tower in person. This is my
favorite high rise in Singapore, by far. I love how all the
different exteriors mix together. What an innovative building.
Also love the way the top changes color at night.
One of the best towers in the world.

i dont like the top part, but i like all the blue glass.. 7

Definitely unique, but too busy and overdone. 7/10

1+2=3 · February 9th, 2003, 11:16 PM

Not a very nice design, 5/10

The Messiah · February 26th, 2003, 07:52 PM

The top is a bit weird,when i saw the first pic i thought the tower wasn't finished ye't

But that is just part of the design.
Maybe too bold at the same time...
Rest of the design is ok.
7.5/10

The Lighting is so colorful.

ganjavih · March 16th, 2003, 09:37 AM

Kinda cool... not spectacular... 8/10

March 28th, 2003, 05:16 PM

it's weird and ugly and doesn't deserve the 6 that i gave it, except for at night time, you might give it about 7.5
But it's only 250 odd mmetres, which is nothing spectacular, and it is ugly as sin in the daylight. looks like it was designed by a 12 year old kid.

5.5 Once again, I agree with enzo's and Liz's comments... what is that thing on the top?

April 17th, 2003, 10:12 PM

It's bound to look almost finished for ages with that scaffolding-like top....

Best scraper in the Shenton Way district!! The glass is just great and the lighting makes it look really majestic when you view it upclose at night..
