UD Town (Formally UD Center)

PostAuthor: lee » August 22, 2008, 7:32 pm

I think this topic deserves a new thread since it looks like work has begun and the wheels are finally in motion. It was also top news in one of the local news papers and the employment websites are now advertising jobs for the development.

Anyway here's the latest artists impression of the site, I look forward to more news and photos as and when it happens.

Wow that looks good Lee.
Do you know if we are looking at it from the hospital end, or the night market end???

Looks nice for sure and Udon would benefit I imagine. As long as it had a good coffee shop, to past a few hours.

The small car at the front is probably turning left in Posri Road ???? as a guess

It might also be Irish Alan doing the latest video for all of us here on UM.

The artist has left out the rows of food carts, the dead dog, and a flower seller.

Well they are certainly doing something there guns as the land fill is well underway. Mind you it was a couple of years ago for the original UD project, so who knows. :D
Personally I really hope it goes ahead, competition (between it & what ever happens in the centre) can only be good for everyone living in Udon...

This could be the proposed opp the complex, as there are still probs over the rail;way road, which needs to be addressed as well.

Thanks, mate. But from what I've seen of Thai labourers, I don't reckon they're going to get it all up in 7 hours. 7 years is probably more accurate.

Have you thought of becoming a Project Manager? You'd be outstanding.
