Note that that link is a thread from 2012

[chiang mai]

Indeed it is.

I thought it interesting to read what people had to say back then about the Supalai Monti vs the, where we are today view.

For the OP: the units are all sold out long ago but secondary sales are available, at a premium.

Here I was thinking it was the new CM Immigration building until I read the link.

[Beng]

An eyesore.

I still agree with my comments from 2012.

Yes, it's a carbuncle for sure, a blot and an eyesore.

And a crap place to live, unless you work at Central Fes....

Why is it different if you work at central festival? Are the rooms bigger is the plumbing gold if you work there? Did they do proper construction on your unit?

I also strongly agree with my 2012-self.

Travelling to work would be easy if you lived in that tower block and worked in Central Festival shopping center , there are within walking distance of each other

Wont affect the accommodations in the least. Crap is crap no matter where you live or work.

Yayy!

Time for them to build a few more.

[MadMac]

They just wait for the airport to be relocated, they build a lake nearby already. So let's hope for some more quakes. Not.

"The bubble is about to burst"

That's all I got from that thread...

Exactly, you'll notice that several years later it still hasn't!

You'll also notice that despite the various comments about bubbles, not being a good investment and not being able to make money from condo's in Chiang Mai, those units did sell out quickly, many did subsequently change hands several times and it's not impossible to buy one, yet the building is still less than half finished. That bubble is still waiting to pop, but it hasn't!

[mascarabertha]

so!! going back to the question, how many stories will that be?

And in the mean time, my low rent stays exactly the same.

A fair point, but has your investment portfolio made a decent return also?

Yes, with zero work.

Cool, I suspect however you are not in the majority but well done regardless and I hope that trend continues.

[ramrod711]

It's ugly, no doubt about it. Might be an ok place to live.....if it doesn't fall over.

[Bassosa]

Wasn't it supposed to be finished by now?

[luke000]

I think that he meant that the convenience of walking to work outweights the unpleasant looking building .

Sorry for asking, but are we having an ironic/sarcastic exchange, or are we being serious ?

[Tywais]

so!! going back to the question, how many stories will that be?

32 stories, 741 units.

Start of construction: November 2558

Expected completion: August 2561.

An eyesore.

Indeed it is a monstrosity and an eyesore. I hope an earthquake levels it (in the middle of the night when no one is around of course).

Could it be that the powers that be are trying to turn Superhighway into some sort of Sheik Zayed Road in Dubia? So highway thru the middle and feeder roads with adjoining skyscrapers?

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Could it be that the powers that be are trying to ..

Trying to <anything> implies a level of planning and management.

That said, IF I want big malls, office towers and condominiums anywhere around Chiang Mai, then I want them on the Superhighway and ring roads.
