CAPITALAND and Hotel Properties are set to launch a 99-year leasehold condo on the former Gillman Heights site in Alexandra Road next month.

Called The Interlace, the condo is designed by world-renowed architect Ole Scheeren. He is from the firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture, whose other partners include the famous Rem Koolhaas.

The project, on an elevated 81,000-sq m site, has 1,040 apartment units in interlocking blocks resembling a 'vertical village', said Mr Scheeren at Friday's design presentation.
