Given how close the project now is to the award of Temporary Occupancy Permit, I guess most of the work now is internal to units that did not pass inspection, or still require touch-up work. The front facade signage has also been lit up now, reportedly looking quite lovely with its purplish lighting. We&#8217;ll go by on an evening soon to check that out.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also started picking up several digital and printed issues of Squarerooms, a local interior design publication that features lots of ideas, discussion plans, things to do with homes and so on, and been pouring through them figuring out what we&#8217;re going to advise our appointed designer later on once we receive keys. More to come on that soon too.<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time; pictures from this afternoon&#8217;s visit.
