Anyone know the mystery of this place?
-
Well, i'm currently doing a flim project.
And came across this unique location.
It's situated at near lakeside area....cooperation road.
Tao Ching road.
When i moved to this area i notice this particular building kinda stood out from the rest. Because in the middle of a residential area, there stood...4blks of flats.
Old and empty.. for some reason the 4blks of flats are totally abandoned for quite a few years. Only the bottom 2 floors there are some shops and banks.
From 3rd floor on, it's empty all the way.
Another unique feature is the 4 blks of flag are joined 2gether to form a diamond shape. I did went to the center of the 4 blks and took some shots.. thou i cant cover the whole area to clearly show it.
I tried to move up to the higher floors to take a look but upon reaching the stairway from 2nd floor 2wards 3rd... the stairway is blocked as shown in one of the pics i've taken.
Jus curious, anyone living around the area or heard b4 anything about this building of abandoned flats?
Wat actaully happen that left it empty for so long ????
here are the pics

It's spelled Corporation Rd. The 4 blocks of flats are Blk 63 to Blk 66, Yung Kuang Rd (not Tao Ching Rd).Originally posted by xking:Well, i'm currently doing a flim project.

There were people living in these flats before. I guess they shifted out so that these flats can be demolished. As to why the shops are still open, I guess the residents nearby still need them.
-
is there a standard chartered bank there?
-
looks like those flats in HK.....
maybe waiting for our cheng hoo to decide wat to do with these blocks?
my fren in URA says that they can leave blocks standing there for yrs w/o touching them (all residents moved or chased out) until there's a tender or they have development plans..... -

This building is the icon of Taman Jurong back in the early days as it was the tallest building in Taman Jurong.
From what I heard (rumors):-
1.) The building is being plan to be redevelop into a commerical building or upgrade (cause it is a 1-rm flat)
2.) The lease to the NTUC, clinic, shops at 1st and 2nd floor has not expire yet
However, I do notice:-
1.) There is a recent bank renovation (early this year or late last year), I am not sure is it OUB or UOB or OCBC, the one just outside NTUC entrance.
2.) There are also constant mainteance work on the building itself.
So there might be plans to this building afterall.
If you want to have spooky stuff, this place might have something as this place is also a well-known place for suicide in the past (at least from what I heard from my Father). The most recent case is which a woman was throw off this building and the lover hid in the water tanks on the top floor during the police hunt.
For me, there are so many changes in Taman Jurong in the past 10 years and this building brings my childhood memories instead of any spooky stuff. -
those blks r gonna stay untouched ... most of the occupants were foreign workers... those blks became vacant in 2001 ...
-
btw i didnt know they locked up the place... went there a few mths back ... there were a few occupants
-
This building is in the same unoccupied state as the vacant block of flats in Woodlands, which is opposite a church..
-
the blk might b occupied soon like the 3 hdb blks at jurong westOriginally posted by PaJeRoMiNi Ver 1.0:This building is in the same unoccupied state as the vacant block of flats in Woodlands, which is opposite a church..

the URA said it is not going to demolish the blk...

These blocks was highlighted in TNP some time ago. Nothing 'spooky' about the blocks, as reported. And yes, much like the vacant blocks at Jurong West, Bukit Merah and Woodlands.

this place is called 21st storey (in hokkien) if i din remembered wrongly......... Used to stay there when i was young. Used to sit outside the NTUC eating ice-cream and looking up to the sky, that was framed by the diamond edge of the building.
Nothing mysterious about this........ -
Well.. i currently study to the school next to that place.. Jurong Secondary.
basically, they blocked off all the entrances and disabled all the lifts coz people were trying to get in. Mostly to do some graffiti graphics. (hehe) or to jump into those vacant lots inside to create like their own room or meeting place or sommat. That i know coz i know people who try that,
Spooky stuff? Not really but last time.. People could climb up to the roof and stuff. Just began to block the whole area up recently.
But that place has a kind of imprisonment kind of feelin. You really have to ask the shopkeepers from there if you wanna know more.
