Tallest on Orchard stretch
After months of talk about tenders, financing and architectural plans, the builders yesterday got down to work on the huge residential and retail project atop Orchard MRT station.
A ground-breaking ceremony at the site with joint developers CapitaLand and Hong Kong’s Sun Hung Kai Properties started the $2 billion project.
The 218m-tall project will have 56 storeys, making it the tallest on the shopping stretch. There will be more than 450 shops spread over eight levels of space, including four underground.
The mall will open in about two years while the 177 ’super luxury apartments’ will be launched for sale in the first quarter of next year and completed by late 2009.
