Illustrations of a downtown in transformation from car-city to the ecological pedestrian city…
A typical car-dominated city downtown with larger box-like buildings and “ample parking,” with its associated congestion, smog and paving of surrounding land for sprawl.

Regatta’s development follows a nautical theme, the centrepiece of which being an aerodynamically shaped hotel bound to be one of the most striking landscape features overlooking the Java Sea. Sporting the same chic lines is a series of 10 apartment towers, symbols of tall ships sailing around the ‘lighthouse’ represented by the hotel, which gave to the name ‘Regatta’. All apartment towers are named after major port cities of the world, and are each orientated towards the cardinal direction of their corresponding city.
Regatta’s construction comprises three phases, the first due for completion in November 2008. This will see the erection of four pioneer apartment towers: Dubai, Monte Carlo, Miami and Rio de Janeiro. The second phase, to be commenced straight after, sees the building of three apartment towers (Tokyo, Acapulco and Sydney) and a 2.4 hectare Aqua Park. Bringing Regatta to a literal full circle will be the final phase, which tops the project off with three more apartment towers (London, New York and Shanghai) as well as a five-star hotel and serviced apartments.
Regatta’s 10 apartment towers soar 24 storeys high with four units on each level. These are made up of two Ocean View units (type A & B, occupying 243 m2 each) and two Aqua Park View units (type C & D, occupying 206 m2 each).
