16 | 04 | 07 Phase 3 of our renovations are complete. Installation of all floors including 2,500 sq ft of marble cladding to a new guest toilet and our 1,000 sq ft roof deck now give the unit a fresh look. We are no longer the raw construction site from years ago.
21 | 04 | 07 Poole Associates visits Reflections at Keppel Bay to view potential replacement flats if Pearlbank goes en-block. As we suspected, the same sq footage as we have now will be over $10,000,000 sgd ! Why anyone would vote for en-block is beyond our comprehension, as the downgrading would become severely depressing. "Shoe box spaces at stratospheric prices are not our cup of tea, and I don't have 90-100 years to pay off the mortgage"
25 | 04 | 07 Ed Poole interviews with The New Paper reporter Desmond Ng on the devastating results of en-block legislation in Singapore and the deadly consequences to iconic buildings, the architectural + design community and loss of individual rights to communist ideals in Singapore.
"As a PR in Singapore for 18 years, my neighbors can vote me out of my privately owned home via en-block, destroying my life savings and retirement, but I have no rights to vote for or against the overpaid politicians that enacted these insane communist policies".

16 | 05 | 07 Poole Associates interview with The International Herald Tribune, regarding attempts in Singapore to rescue modern buildings from demolition.

"and they get exposed for what they are, driven by greed with no regard for the environmental, cultural and socioeconomic consequences". See the article below
