Nowadays, it is not difficult to notice that there are
many new property developments that have 2 or 3 towers or buildings, and some
are usually connected with a Sky Garden or Bridge. This link will usually have
recreation facilities, like gym, fitness center or jogging track. As it is
generally located in the higher floors, it can also serve as a viewing
platform, and a selling point for the new development.

At times, have you been hearing people saying that a
development with 3 Residential Towers is auspicious, as it represents the 3 mighty Musketeers or the 3 Chinese Deities – Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿).
Not too long ago, I was attending a new property launch,
which is a 3 Tower Residential development. While in the sales gallery, there
was a Free Property Talk event in session. The Talk was about Feng Shui and the
speaker was giving some tips on selecting a Good property and generally
highlighting the good selling points of the property. I still remember that the
speaker was mentioning about the 3 Residential Towers representing the Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿). In the Chinese Culture, they are the
Fortune, Wealth and Longevity Deities.

One prospective buyer asked the Speaker which Tower is
the better Choice as a good-value investment. The Speaker replied that if he
want Wealth, then he could select the centre Tower, for Health and Long Life, then select the Tower from the right. But if he wanted all three luck
endeavours, then he could consider one unit in every Tower. Many audiences burst
into laughter. But be mindful, is this what Feng Shui is all
about?
In Property Selection, although the shape of
the Building could be one of the considering factors, it does not and should not be the main contributing factor in ascertaining a good property. Although the Building could be represented as “virtual mountain” and the “container of Qi“, in my opinion, Feng
Shui should not relate to Chinese Culture or Religion whatsoever. Generally, the
centre Tower from a 3 Residential Towers development is usually a better
choice, provided there is good "support" from the external environment and also if there are some uniqueness in the centre Tower comparing to rest of the other Towers. In this
case, the centre Tower could be considered as “The Crane amongst the
Chickens” - a better Choice Tower in the development.
Generally, the 4 important aspect of Feng Shui is Environment,
Building, People and Time, and the Environment being the first and most
important factors contributes a major part in the Feng Shui assessment. If the
external environment is conducive, it will provide a better living space for
the residents in the area, and hopefully support your life goals. For sure, it's not about using the 3 Chinese Deities as your choosing criteria of your Dream Home.
