I think not bad, near to future DTL3 Upper Changi Station.

Location wise, as others have said, future MRT next to it.

If you drive, just a little further down, it's TPE and PIE for access to Pasir Ris, Ponggol, Jurong etc. If you head the other direction, there's ECP at Xilin avenue next to Expo.

The area's quiet most of the time except for when Expo has SITEX, Natas etc at the same time and during evening, the other side towards TPE/Loyang will be jammed.

Beware the overhead bridge just after Expo towards Tropicana though. Hidden camera during the day most of the time. :o

The Shell's your minimart if you're lazy to drive out for groceries.

But you have o put up with the noise when it's constructing. Rental will be super good because of nearby companies like SIA. A good buy.

Next to Expo and SUTD!

3-bedroom rents $4000 per month.

I think the Shell station will be aquired by the garmen.

Tropicana is right in the heart of SUTD.

Bah! The garmen again. They acquired like 7 stations from my family back in the late 80s/early 90s with minimal payment. A few in D10 if i didn't remember wrongly, was in primary school then.

Just met with this very irresponsible seller from tropicana.....unit was asking for 1.45 mil but initially agreed on 1.4mil by the agent and option to purchase was signed. We also asked if the completion can be completed in 16 weeks instead of 10 in which agent said that she will check with owner who is based in US.

Come the next day and agent replied that we will have to offer more if we want to complete in 16 weeks, so we said we'll stick to 10 weeks....then few hours later agent said that there was another offer from another agent offering 1.4 mil too and asked if we can topped up more to 1.41mil and then will deal.I was a bit pissed at this already but giving them the benefit of doubt I upped it to 1.405mil non nego. Subsequently owner agreed and a new cheque was issued to them and a new option to purchase drafted waiting for him to sign.

Today, after a day when he was supposed to sign and email back the OTP, agent suddenly called and said owner now wants 1.42mil as he felt that the was selling the place too cheaply....luckily my wife was the one who answered the call as I was driving but I was seriously fuming mad. This is a guy who can go back on his words for just 15 thousand dollars. After agreeing on the price, he still had the cheek to ask for more....mind you, if you check the caveat lodge, I literally will break the record for the highest psf paid. This show what kind of integrity this guy possess and his excuse was that there is another unit asking for more....

Just wanna rant as I am still fuming over this. Although I am aware that as long as he have not signed the OTP, he is not legally bound to fulfill his part of the offer even though he may have verbally agreed on the price...what to do....this kind of people do exist...

Bro, I feel your pain. I think the owner is just test market and not serious.

Forget it. Keep your money.

There probably isn't really any other offer. Tell the agent now your final offer is 1.39mil. Take it or shove it up his and the owners asses.
