Wasn’t there a nicer way to do it? I’ve noticed a lot of buildings use this blue cheap looking plastic for the building names but it really ruins the look, there must be a better or more tasteful material that can be used.

I will answer all your questions as I was the one. The real suggested tower's name was SG (bigger force liked KTC) as there are 250sqm indoor garden on every 6 floors. this tower is the only commercial mall with infinity pool on its mall roof (not the tower). you can swim and see your house. Amazing floor span with no columns on corners (when you stand at the corner the closest column to you is 12m away). No Parking, The poor guys (u know who) are going to clean the glass. good luck Ok.
