In our haste moving through the city on busy days, many of us have walked past a lot dual-use (commercial/residential) buildings without giving a second glance, no matter how big they were. But I dare say that no one is going to walk past 11 11 Lincoln Road once prominent developer Robert Wennett
has had his way with it. Knowing a little bit about Robert Wennett, I am not surprised that he would be behind such an ambitious project, being an avid collector of art. What do you get when you cross a love for art, with a knack for large scale property development? 11 11 Lincoln Road will definitely make its mark on its surroundings and shows good prospects of attracting a lot of business to its 50,000sq ft of retail space. The tenants for its residential units will certainly have a good view for their surroundings, because there are talks of converting a large chunk of its surrounding environs into a garden. If you are impressed by the architecture and artistry of this complex, then you have Herzog & de Meuron, designers of the illustrious home of the 2008 Olympics, the Beijing National Stadium, renowned for its impressive bird’s nest design to thank for it.
