[T-Squared]

given its a HK developer, although designed by IBI (thanks Archivist!), the look of the buildings remind me of HK's apartments.

Centro Tower 1 (south) is on the 3rd floor ~

Centro Tower 2 (north ) is on the 2nd floor ~

Henderson retained Dominus Construction for this project - the same people building Absolute World, that should be somewhat reassuring ~

Man, those are real small unites.

thanks for sharing the fall colours drum118 ~

wrt to the small townhouse sizes... yeah your description would be accurate considering these 2 level townhouses are only 972 sq.ft. in total (see below):

does anyone know how much $ the suites are starting at?

 

[Redroom Studios]

I like the 2 storey ceilings above the livingroom, but the drawback to that is no ensuite for the master bedroom. I guarantee it wont feel quite so masterful because of that.

I just check the price of Centro with EQ1 and EQ2............why centro is much more expensive than EQ1 and 2?..........I think 10% or so...........
Is there any special reason? As I know...EQ1 and EQ2 are all new buildings(1 years old?)

 

[Solaris]

really? Centro is more expensive than EQ1+EQ2?? based on what I've seen in the sales office Monarch seems to offer a better product than Henderson (including better finishes)

 

[kamanwu]

So.....240K+ for 600 sq feet....is a acceptalbe price.....or little expensive..?

I think 220K for 600 sq feet......is more reasonable........at SCC........
