Painting of the exterior Shanghai plaster at the outer rim of Pearlbank was REJECTED at the 25th AGM on 26th September 2004.

The current Council + MA brought in a paint contractor that wants to use Pearlbank as an experiment for a new painting system never used in Singapore on this type of surface. LOGIC RULES ! as the plan was rejected. The Subsidiary Proprietors $240,000 stays in the bank. The quoted web site by the paint contractor does not exist.

Funds are now available for critical lift upgrades and further studies for a major exterior face lift. Some residence express a desire to clad the building with metal panels, redevelop the car park block to house commercial spaces and construction of a new swimming pool, tennis court and BBQ area on the car park roof, to be financed by the renting out of 16,000 sq ft of prime void space [converted to residential] on level 28. These are long term plans towards the goal of having the 99yr leasehold renewed.

 

Pearlbank with curved white metal panels suspended in front of the existing facade to form a slick new layer - masking aircon units and placing the miss-matched windows into shadow to minimize the effects of their various colors and designs.

 

Pearlbank hugs the Pearl's Hill Park. Miss-matched window frames, aircon units and other anomalies added over the years have marred the futuristic digital-like facade.

Continued water seepage from some units that have not renovated toilets will not effect the new facade.
