These buildings were used as the Games Officials Village during the Asian Games.
I was invited to a dinner with some games officials at that time in Block 1 (I think). One of them works as a Municipal Building Inspector in Australia and the other was a Civil Engineer in Canada. Both of them echoed that if those buildings were built in their countries they would not give it a permit to operate. Shoddy construction work was apparent. There were a lot of safety hazards specially for families with small children.
It rained for a week that time and they had to evacuate several floors because all the rooms in the affected floors were flooded. I think this was on Block 2 but there were also leaks and problems on the other Tower blocks.
So I guess those who do not know the history of the place would really be the ones renting them now. I pity them because apparently the developer just did patchwork instead of fixing the problems.
