What was/is this building in Chang Kian?

[ricklev]

Can anyone tell me the history of this building in Chang Kian on Chaoban Road? I know it was seemingly abandoned for many years but I never knew what it was or why it was abandoned. Now they appear to be renovating it into something, but I don't know what. Just curious as I drive past it every day. Thanks.

If I am not mistaken it was built well over a decade ago as a condo, but exceeded its approved height because it is under the flight path to the airport. So it was never completed. I drove past it weekly for years when it was up for sale & eventually it was bought and renovations began, only to stop suddenly. It is likely that it will eventually be torn down as it must have deteriorated a lot over the decades.

It's definitely a work site now, but I can't tell if they're renovating it or deconstructing it.  Not so many people on site also.

A friend purchased an apartment in it in the early 1997 and it was barely completed, that was just before the Asian crash. Still struggling to get rid of it...
