JAKARTA | Regatta Jakarta | 24 FLOORS x 10 | COM
 

I searched and searched, and I'm amazed this isn't in the SSP forum already. If I'm posting something duplicate, please forgive me.

The project is the Regatta Jakarta, including 10 residential towers at 24 floors apiece, and 1 hotel whose height I haven't found.

Here's how it's supposed to look upon completion:

The arch-like building looks to be 40+ stories. Could be a very interesting building.. too bad all the others have to look the same.

True. I the complex will likely be known for having the "lighthouse" tower, as they call it.

Each residential tower will be named after a port city, and if I'm not mistaken, they'll be situated on the island itself in the direction of that city, from the perspective of the center of the island. I like that.

Outstanding render.

that tower is amazing and the quality of the render as well, all the other towers should be the same design, the project is nice tho...

Not sure if I dig the kitschy sailboat motif, and I am also not sure about skyscrapers with superfluous lateral movement (read: bloated). I guess the one good thing I can say for them is that they are "interesting" which is definitely better than "bland" in this instance.

That is something else. Looks fun. Looks like an eye or something...

:sly:

Wow, that's quite the interesting looking building? Is it it right on the sea?

Completed in 2009. The hotel never came to be.
