38 Story Apartment Complex has a top floor “sky bridge” pool that I want to do laps in

This apartment complex set to be built in Singapore has (or will have) 38 stories, an offbeat shape and a cool pool on the ground floor.

It will also have a cooler pool on the 38th floor.

Dude!

It’s called Sky Habitat and boasts green areas on every level and on the 3 bridges connecting the 2 towers.

Via the official website:

Sky Habitat, an iconic and architecturally distinctive development right at the heart of Bishan. Relax at the Sky Pool on the 38th floor, where a rooftop oasis awaits as you enjoy panoramic views spanning city to park.

Take a dip in the infinity pool, enjoy your very own living space that opens to the sky, set up a picnic on the terrace for the family or cultivate a garden corner. Sky Habitat is your sanctuary in the sky, providing the perfect escape without having to the leave the creature comforts of home.

Units are a steal at $1-2 million per unit for the Bishan located complex.

“The pricing is attractive and the design is iconic,” said Madam Lilian Teo, 40, who works in the energy industry. She bought a 1,249 sq ft three-bedder for around $1.63 million or $1,304 psf.

Another buyer, Mr Lau Yuk Mun, 54, said he picked up a one-bedroom plus study unit as an investment after seeing the redesigned showflat for the 710 sq ft apartment.

“The showflat optimised the usage of space and showed that it could be well utilised… The price is also more attractive now,” he said.

He paid $1,411 psf or slightly more than $1 million for the unit, and said he hopes to reap a rental yield of 4 per cent to 6 per cent.

Mr Mohamed Ismail, chief executive of real estate agency PropNex, said the solid sales show that buyers and investors are “not ready to buy if the price is not right”.

CapitaLand has pared prices at other projects before.

Oklahoma Governor has Oklahoma Shaped Pool

Most people have swimming pools shaped like Kansas and a select few mansions will have a nice infinity or swim-up-bar outfitted pool in the shape of California, but the Governor of Oklahoma as an Oklahoma shaped one, and that’s pretty kickass.

Here’s a night picture taken on the ground and for the opposite angle: Google Earths view of this token exercise in awesomery and reveals that the pan handle appears to be either a long jacuzzi or an endless pool for doing laps without the “doing laps” part. It’s also strange that the driveway to the mansion doesn’t even seem to be gated. You just take a turn off the street and you’re IN. Oklahoma is awesome now.
