This condo is located at Flora Road which is very close to the Singapore Changi Airport. This area in the last few years is starting to have many condo developments near-by.

What is unique about this condo is that the developer has touted it as a "distinguished figure 8". Distinguished? Well to the Chinese; in particular the Cantonese dialect group; the phonetic sound of 8 is like "Prosperity" "Fa". Many other developments have blocks arranged in a horse shoe shaped but few has two "rings" with the focal point of the swimming pool(s) - there are two pools within the two circles / rings of the Eight layout.

Both halves of the 8 is a mirror image of each other. And one good thing is that much thought has been given to the external Shapes and Forms. Although the building is in the earth shaped "squarish external" - pointed corners don't really protude or act like "random porcupine" spikes.. but rather pointed edges or corners of buildings face each other - thus neutralising each other.

With it's two halves of circular shape; this development has all the Flying Star facing directors or close to nearly all the 15 directions or mountains of the Flying Star permutations. Thus, fortunes can vary significantly from one neighbour to another!

What are the best blocks according to fengshui and which blocks to avoid?
