It's not only in Montreal that we have cheezy condo names

THERE was a time when the names of posh condominiums in Singapore were just pompous (“The Legacy”) or cheesy (“Rhapsody on Mt Elizabeth”). At least they were in a recognised language. Developers seem to have decided that only neologisms can do justice to their latest creations. Arise “Foresque Residences” (every day will be “filled with never-ending wonderment”); “Illuminaire on Devonshire”; “The Foresta@Mount Faber”; “The Trizon”; and “The Waterina” (with a “sanctuary-like water court”). No longer mere buildings, these are “new residential typologies”.

But I agree that Icone will make Le Crystal look outdated, but hey that's the beauty of organic development of a city isn't it? Not everything is the same, and we can see that different periods in which the buildings were erected!
