2009-01-05 Renovation Update

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year Celebration. We did miss the Club as we celebrated New Year's Eve 2007/8 at Legends Fort Canning with the kids last year.

There's been some emails between some of us concerning the fact that there has been no work done on the future member's building and it is less than three months from the 1st April re-opening date that was told to us by the Management. So I went to take a look and here are some pictures I took today (click on the pictures to see a larger image):

1) The exterior is the same as expected:

2) There is much work going on in the building. The second floor is gutted and you can see the huge piece of glass on the balcony.

3) There is no change at the Marquee. I see the sales person showing some prospects around.

4) The area in front of the tennis court and the golf driving cage remains unchanged.

5) The tennis court shows no signs that it will be converted to a 3-storey building in less than 3 months. The net is still up. Game, anyone?

6) The main front area is unchanged and the outdoor furniture are all there.

7) The Cafe is completely gone. Here is what it looks like now... :-(

8) View of the former-Cafe from the still-open Lobby.

9) View of the Lobby/former Cafe. Note the sign "Luxurious Boutique Hotel & Fine Dining Restaurants Opening Soon!" There are a few of these posted around.

10) There is a big Hole in the parking area next to the guard post. A fountain coming may be? I wonder if this means the members parking there will be gone.

11) Another view of the Hole. I still can't figure what it is for.

12) The carpark on B1 is still full. There was an event on this morning (10+am). So the catering business must be good.

=====

There does not seem to be any development to the members building since I took pictures on December 3rd.

You will also note that I have put a count down timer at the top of this page ... "Until Fort Canning Re-Opens To Members".
