is that only amongs the SSCers? or is that a known fact in MM streets?

I don't think it afects the view of boni Ridge at all...in terms of the view of the golf course...the only view it will block is the south east view of Boni Ridge, but it is still quite far to do anything....

just browsing the net and i found this picture. wala me magawa eh kaya hanap na lang ng pede i-post hehe! im not sure how recent the photo is though. dahil sa SSC.com nae-engganyo na tuloy ako mag-invest on real estate sa pinas kaya lang ala pa akong money nyahaha!

maybe in the future

construction is looking good...! I don't like the blue roofing and the white paint though. I hope the curtain wall (is that what it's called...?) is changed into a more beige type of colour.

oh... what's that huge cement wall doing in the back right side of the picture...? right beside the third tower? are they going to knock that down...? it looks so ugly sitting there....!! ugh.. but the sidewalks around the site look real nice. such great maintainance at BGC.

November 29th, 2004, 09:46 AM

those are not cement walls, they're the foundation of the road above....the construction haven't spuffed the underground just yet...or so that's how it seems to me

ang ganda naman ng mga glass towers beside that construction site....forbeswood would definitely stand as a soar concrete structure....in the backdrop of curtain walls

Woah! Awesome picture of not exactly the best looking condos currently u/c.
Ronnaveth is right, the walls are the walls of the foundations. They will eventually cover up what they dug as construction progresses.

And yeah, BGC's sidewalks are excellent!

renell · November 29th, 2004, 11:34 AM

absolutely horrendous, now that i've seen where exactly it is. unfortunately it's style is going to be a real shock treatment after just passing by Pacific Plaza, One Mckinley and One Net.

oh...!! okay. hahaha..! I get it...

these don't look too great at all... massive white concrete boxes amidst the glassy towers in the surrounding area. panira talaga... dang. how did they get it approved...?! haha...!

Well, a little contrast from the glassy towers is not that bad, after all there is no all-glass CBD, right?

yeah... I guess that's true. we're just gonna have to live with it then... it is indeed impossible to have a purely glass CDB, so... haha...!

renell · November 30th, 2004, 08:54 AM

well true, but i wish it was more appropriately located. a mediterranean like or influenced complex doesn't exactly fit it in a post-modern district of BGC. it's like the import in a PBA match

bagel · November 30th, 2004, 09:07 AM

I just think the roofing material is horrendous. Yero? Corrugate metal?! Not even tile? I mean even residential houses look better with terra cotta tilework rather than corrugated metal!

maybe they will put roof tiles on top of it later. Just like the blue roof tiles of the building on the left.

haha...i agree with you. It would look better near Manila Bay.

well... malakas talaga ang Megaworld. dami siguro nilang connections.

Francis20 · November 30th, 2004, 02:40 PM

HAHA...you guys are frantic about this eh?
That photo is very recent. Probably about few days old. That's exactly how it looks like now. The development plan is good, and it's on the periphery of BGC. Fort Boni has zoning plans, and Forbes Town complied with them, so i see no problem why this project shouldn't be approved. But they look better if placed beside beach resorts. hehe...

renell · March 5th, 2005, 01:41 PM

bump. gotta update this one

cheers guys

Edmundtanso · March 5th, 2005, 04:53 PM

this project looks out of place compare to the other projects in BGC, megaworls could have done something better...oh well

renell · March 6th, 2005, 01:59 AM

indeed it is out of place, but if you wanna get positive, which I've done, you can say it's a "refreshing" sight
