I heard from my feng shui master that Singapore have 5 dragons, located in Central, East, North, South, and West. However, the Western dragon was dead because of the persistent toxic air and smokes, and super deep underground drilling for the deep underground caverns, which had killed the Western dragon. :beats-me-man:

How about other dragons? Will they be injured by non stop tunneling of new mrt lines.... :rolleyes:

Placed a cheque with my agent for the J Gateway. Still not sure if I should go ahead. Was thinking of buying the larger units, but after studying the conditions, I am getting cool feet.

Cons
- view not good ( Lake view not that great, went to nearby HDB to see and I am not impress. Must buy high levels also)
- expensive (Appreciation limited, and condo selling at future pricing)
- Interest rate going up within the next few years
- supply of completed properties will limit rental within the next few years
- By my own humble calculation, if interest rate hit higher than 2.6%, I will have to chip in after rental. If I have rental!
- rental will also have to be higher than nearby competitors due to higher loan amount, tenants have cheaper alternatives.
- traffic conditions is horrible.
- noise level from MRT( Too near the tracks.)
- Jurong developement need roughly 10 years to come into full swing.
- Tenant profile is also a concern. Who will pay high rent in the West in the near term?
- Property cycle seems to be peaking also.
- Need to hold property for more than ten years to unlock full value.

I don't think I need to write the pros. Too many property agents are doing that already. In the end, it all comes down to pricing. If the price is insane, I think I will back down.

Well done. I, too, gave a blank check and short-listed two units on the #33 and #38. Both are some of the largest units and their indicative PSF is around $1600. I only have one additional concern: the price is way higher than surrounding HDBs, ECs and PCs. This makes selling or renting in future quite abit harder. I will also give up if PSF is too high.

I also almost place a cheque but in the end didn't.
I try to ask myself, would my future buyer be willing to buy from me at least from 2k psf in jurong if I'm going to pay 1800psf (including stamp) now. Not forgetting I hv not factor in the possibilty of increase interest rate.

With this kinda psf, I can easily get a unit at east coast or city fringe.
If you are doubtful, then better reconsider again. It's better to miss the boat than have sleepless nights.

What would you consider as a good view?

- expensive (Appreciation limited, and condo selling at future pricing)
All new condo are selling at future price

- Interest rate going up within the next few years
Affect property everywhere not just limited to J Gateway, then again, this has been said for the past 3 years already.

- supply of completed properties will limit rental within the next few years
So far this is the only residential site at Jurong Gateway, and only new condo that will TOP before J gateway in the JLD area is Lakefront Residents at Lakeside MRT. If that is a cause of concern, then everywhere else in Singapore will be worst.

- By my own humble calculation, if interest rate hit higher than 2.6%, I will have to chip in after rental. If I have rental!

What sort of humbling quantum and rental are you talking here?

- rental will also have to be higher than nearby competitors due to higher loan amount, tenants have cheaper alternatives.

This apply to every corner of Singapore, not just J Gateway. But then again, in JLD, which competing condo are you referring to?

- traffic conditions is horrible.
- noise level from MRT( Too near the tracks.)
- Jurong developement need roughly 10 years to come into full swing.

When J Gateway TOP, 1100 bed hospital, Westgate, Jem, Sim Lian office, Genting hotel, Big Box will all be ready. And Capitaland, MND, AVA, BCA and many new companies will be operating from Jurong gateway.
What else are you expecting?

- Tenant profile is also a concern. Who will pay high rent in the West in the near term?

high is relative? how high?

- Property cycle seems to be peaking also.

property price peaking in JLD? I doubt so.

- Need to hold property for more than ten years to unlock full value.

There is no such thing as full value because property prices will get higher when you hold longer.

I don't think I need to write the pros. Too many property agents are doing that already. In the end, it all comes down to pricing. If the price is insane, I think I will back down.

This show the power of ads... With the correct ads and marketing... Jurong can sell more expensive then city fring.. Just like eating fish ball noodle in resturant instead of paying only $2/- in hawker centre.. Anything have it own market... I am sure they are still a lot of people willing to buy J-Gateway even at unbelieveable price... This is the market...

Same concerns here. I don't mind to hold the unit for 10 years, but at the indicative price, how high can rental yield be? If interest rate goes higher, will my unit becomes charity work? (Interest>rental?). Any potential for the price to go higher? Tough decision because the location is indeed very good and there will be lots development in JLD.

Haha! Actually, it is exactly because I can afford it that I put in so much effort to do a risk analysis. If I am not seriously thinking of buying, I will not put in so much time. Researched on rental commanded in the area, growth potential, interest rate, tenant profile, and gathered expert opinions. There are high risk involved with this property. Don't go in blind. Must do your own calculation, I know I did.

Rentability vs. Rental yield. In my opinion rentability is more important. Rental yield is always ups and downs, but rentability must be superior in comparison to other condo that u consider in investing.

Rental yield is a promise, whereas rentability is a fact. You can make an educated guess for rentability.

I too submitted a blank cheque. Before this project was launched, I was very keen on it. Was looking for a 4bedder for my family. Overall my family approves of the area. But after looking at the floor plan and area of the 4bedder, I was immediately turned off. 11XX for a 4 bedroom? I can make do living in my 13XX 3bedroom. Since the unit size is so so compact, I guess the quantum won't be kept very high.

I've given up, so with one less me in the queue, hopefully you guys can get your preferred choice unit :D

More than 200,000 sq ft has been pre-leased at the much-anticipated Westgate shopping mall in the Jurong Gateway, well ahead of its scheduled opening in December 2013.The upcoming mall, with a total of 416,000 sq ft in net lettable area, is targeted mainly at middle-income families, professionals, students and commuters. Westgate is part of the Jurong Gateway integrated development, a joint venture between CapitaMalls Asia (CMA) Limited, CapitaMall Trust (CMT) and CapitaLand Limited.The office component of the project, Westgate Tower, has also secured 50% pre-commitment from CapitaLand.Among the tenants that have pre-committed to space at Westgate are Paul Bakery and Japanese supermarket chain Isetan. Lim Tien Chun, Managing Director at Isetan (Singapore) said that the supermarket is “looking forward to the opening of our store at Westgate – our sixth in Singapore. It will be our first store in the west of Singapore and also our first Japanese-style supermarket outside Orchard Road.”Other tenants also include Food Republic, Paradise Dynasty, Café Crema and Steak & Seafood Robatayaki Buffet. Yamaha will also open a music school at Westgate.“Westgate will be the catalyst for the transformation of the Jurong Lake District into a key regional hub, the largest outside the Central Business District. We are excited to bring retailers such as Paul Bakery and Isetan Supermarket to Singapore’s West with their first stores outside Singapore’s downtown core,” commented Wee Su Lin, General Manager of Westgate.*


It will be a seven story retail mall that's more than half the size of ION Orchard and it will be located at Jurong Gateway. It will offer international and high street fashion, dining options as well as office space. It will cost approximately S$1.5 billion.*It is jointly developed by CapitaMalls Asia, CapitaMall Trust and CapitaLand, the project is slated to open by end-2014 and it's expected to serve some one million people living and working in the area.*The one-hectare hotel site at the Jurong Town Hall Road is expected to yield over 500 rooms and have 3,150 square metres of commercial space.*Design firm Benoy and RSP Architects Planners & Engineers - both consultants for ION Orchard and Jcube - were tapped to work on the development on the 594,000 sq ft mall.*Westgate will have direct connection to the MRT and bus interchanges.

depends what you are comparing, peak to peak price no chance for OCR to be on par because we are going to see $4 to 5Kpsf for 1 bedder in CCR pretty soon.

However I would say that in terms of psf, there will be overlap because for project like J Gateway that is located next to transport and commercial hub, sure it will command higher psf as compared to some ulu and old CCR properties without any lifestyle component.

submitting blanket cheque at this stage doesnt mean anything. If you dont turn up for balloting, agent also LL.

Also how can you be sure he submitted a cheque? I could say I submitted 10 cheque and then change my mind.

I would rather take a LH project in an area like JLD than some FH property in some ulu place without any future development plan. Actually if you look at the older project around JE, almost all of them are now selling at record price due to the development in JLD.

the whole country has gone up, not just jurong. now u can buy a district 9 freehold property at the same price, u should seize the opportunity, this is my sincere advice to you as i do not like to see people getting into trouble with their investment.

can still back out as it is still not too late. A project like mackenzie 88 is a better investment proposition for you in terms of budget if that is ur concern. can u imagine what the price of that apartment will shoot up to when j gateway sells out? J gateway is the green light for prime district to soar in price again n u do not need to wait 4 years for j gateway to complete for that to happen. you will be in a very safe position to buy a prime district property at the same price rather than threading on future uncertainty about whether j gateway price can hold.

up yes, only question is by how much. The waterford residences which you quoted, is 999, District 9, but the capital appreciation has only been 2.3% for the past 4 years or so, compare to say Jurong condo, which has appreciate by at least 5% or more over the last 5 years.

Instead of always thinking the CCR price is under value, perhaps you should start thinking that OCR property is getting more valuable because of decentralization effort by our government.

With the many up and coming projects at JLD, there are are less reason for the people living in the west to waste time and money going all the way to city for shopping and dining. At least an JLD, you can get to do real ice skating.

just to give you an illustration. landed properties have been stagnant for a long time and when it was time for them to move, they move up fast and fiercely and many who aspire to live in landed are now priced out. same for prime districts, when it is time for prices to move, it will move at such a pace that you will not be able to catch up. Would you rather secure a prime district property now or wait a couple of years and think back why hadnt you invested in it. Although i do not particularly like mackenzie 88, i can buy at this price and sleep with a soft pillow knowing i have j gateway to back my valuation. j gateway buyers are not just acting as support for prime pty owners, they are also a springboard for prime district owners to sell higher. I am the only one in this forum that would share this with you, many who own prime districts in this forum are just sitting at the sidelines waiting for j gateway buyers to take the plunge. You get my point now?

I agree with u, OCR is getting valuable due to efforts of govt. one gd eg will be tampines.

over/under priced is very relative & is conclusive at a particular point in time only.

3 mths ago, I purchased a RCR unit at $13xx psf n tat was expensive. Now after I compare with J gateway pricing I found tat I hv gotten a gd deal.

When OCR value increases so much tat the gap between OCR & CCR is very narrow, CCR will seems relatively cheap/underpriced. So ppl will chiong for prime districts cos CCR will always be CCR.

I guess the issue of concern is the mindset of old jurong.. How about if jurong is on the way to create a premium price bracket of its own just like those prime district.

Well, in near term Jurong is still technically "old" Jurong. MNCs and developments don't appear overnight. This is why property consultants gave the ten year mark. You need to hold the property for roughly ten years till operations and business activity are up and running. I have worked in MNC built-up operations before. The first phase of the built up tend to be made up of local stuff with a very few foreign executives. This is how they save cost. When the built up phase is done, the MNCs start firing workers in Europe or US and move their valued foreign talents here.

Can you survive rental earnings being lower than your loan? This is how I got my 2.6% interest rate. If interest rate climbs to 2.6%, my loan will break even with the rental commanded from this current existing "old" tenant pools.The tenant pools is technically still "old" Jurong tenant pool in the near term. NTU foreign students, tuas executives,....

Rental = loan+ condo conservancy charges + property tax
(By the way, everybody's variables are different, so please do your own calculation. No point using my calculations.)

If the plan is to get some high powered MNC executive as tenant at around 2016, I have my doubts. If I get this property, I will set aside six months worth of liquidity to buffer shocks.

Who will buy my unit for 1700-2000psf is also a very good question?

Well, in near term Jurong is still technically "old" Jurong. MNCs and developments don't appear overnight. This is why property consultants gave the ten year mark. You need to hold the property for roughly ten years till operations and business activity are up and running. I have worked in MNC built-up operations before. The first phase of the built up tend to be made up of local stuff with a very few foreign executives. This is how they save cost. When the built up phase is done, the MNCs start firing workers in Europe or US and move their valued foreign talents here.

Can you survive rental earnings being lower than your loan? This is how I got my 2.6% interest rate. If interest rate climbs to 2.6%, my loan will break even with the rental commanded from this current existing "old" tenant pools.The tenant pools is technically still "old" Jurong tenant pool in the near term. NTU foreign students, tuas executives,....

Do you really need to wait for 10 years? I dont think so. Just look at how much the property and rental prices in Jurong has climbed since the announcement of JLD masterplan in 2008.

As for MNC, there are already many MNCs in jurong area, for example in IBP, they have Acer, Sony, M+W Zander, Mobile One, Creative tech, german center, JTC etc.

And the first major tenant moving into the new Jurong Gateway will be Capitaland, so there is no need to wait 10 years, because they are consolidating their offices around Singapore into Westgate; all under one roof. Then they will follow by Ministry of National Development, BCA and AVA and then the 1100 bed Jurong community and NTF hospital, and then the 4 star hotel from Genting.

By my own humble calculation, if interest rate hit higher than 2.6%, I will have to chip in after rental. If I have rental!

Here's more from Maybank:
Jurong’s big enough for all. With the recent grand opening of Lend Lease’s JemTM mall in Jurong Gateway, we visited CMT’s JCube and IMM over the weekend to see how they are faring in the face of new competition. We came away encouraged that footfalls at CMT’s malls remain healthy, and we believe that the population catchment in Jurong is large enough to sustain yet another mall in the neighbourhood in the form of CMT’s upcoming Westgate Mall. Reiterate BUY, Street-high target price maintained at SGD2.45.

Mild impact on IMM and JCube. Lend Lease’s JemTM opened on 15 Jun with much fanfare. We saw throngs of shoppers during our visit over the past weekend. On the same day at IMM, we noted that shopper traffic remained healthy. Despite its ample parking space of 1,290 lots, it still took us ~20 mins to enter the garage and find a parking space. IMM’s recent adjustment of tenant mix to include more factory outlets appears to be paying off as it offers something different from the run-of-the-mill malls. Over at JCube, its main crowd-puller – the Olympic-sized ice-skating rink, remained a popular attraction.

Westgate Mall unlikely to be one mall too many. Westgate Mall is already >60% pre-committed ahead of its completion at the end of this year, adding another 420,000 sq ft of retail NLA to meet the demands of the region’s population catchment of ~1m people. In addition, visitors to the upcoming 700-bed Ng Teng Fong Hospital and the office workers at the office towers of Westgate and JemTM will provide additional shopper traffic for the four malls. As the Jurong Lake District grows in importance as a regional commercial hub, we are confident the four malls can co-exist symbiotically to serve the large population. We expect CMT’s three malls in Jurong to contribute to ~19% of the portfolio’s NPI on a stabilized basis.

Limited impact from potentially higher rates. We reviewed the potential impact of borrowing costs on CMT’s DPU and found the impact to be minimal. 93% of CMT’s borrowings are on fixed rates with a fairly long average term to maturity of four years. Hence, our sensitivity analysis shows that for every 50 bps increase in the SIBOR, CMT’s FY14F DPU will only be impacted marginally by -0.3%.

property investors who are being marginalized by the CMs and especially loan limit and tenure, are now focusing their attention on compact size apartment with smaller quantum. Hence psf is no longer a deterrent factor in today's market, even for OCR property.

Eg. the recent transaction of a 1 bedder at Echelon hit a record price of $2474psf and it was bought by HDB addressee, so is a 1 bedder unit at The Clift which was sold at $2424psf.

So a for a unique project like J gateway, it will be very hard for these group of investors to ignore. The market is a little confuse at the moment as many find it hard to stomach $1600psf for Jurong property, but very soon, they will get used to it.

Allthepies
28-06-13, 07:42
the reason for 80% is that in a well managed growth driven economy, property price surges in the long run. the 20% chance tat u lose money is that singapore may choose a less growth driven or there is serious mismangement or both. there a chance tat the current party fails or another super party change the focus of economy growth.

So true. May be not say far far away (could be say at least 500m away), but luxury properties definitely won't be directly on top or beside MRT station (the latter are more "convenient" rather than luxurious as such location tends to be too crowded and too noisy and too cramp for living comfort).

every area has its investment value. I watched this project with keen interest. I personally will not buy it, but I am curious to see if ppl bite. Squeezed between a MRT track and noisy road, in far far away industrial town traditionally even worse than Punggol, without the JLD story no one would even think about this. Now just as another member said, u have this wonderful grand plan which seems real, plus ppl are looking at bite size projects and are hungry for yields. More over all the HDB upgraders in Jurong can finally see something within reach after a decade. And developer capitalizing on this and deliver a design fitting such purpose exactly. All signs point to a successful launch if I would guess.

They are thinking to sell at 1650 and hoping still have sucker in the market to buy it.. but maybe after the feedback from the agents that there are not more such sucker.. so have to reduce price or else they fail to sell a good number in the starting days of the launch, this launch will be a flop...

ha ha people now comparing mass market condo with luxury condo. mass market people like me prefer near mrt, market,shopping centre,coffeeshop,fast food. Luxury people prefer secluded area, cos they have maids to serivce them,got cars to move around...

one is life, the other is lifestyle.

You think the people living in nassim, coronation, grange rd n river valley really give two hoots about growth in their area? I think they would rather have their areas left alone

please dont over stretch yourself by comparing J Gateway to landed property, because its make no sense and its pointless.

Hi...thanks for sharing insight; the risk of raising interest does carry some negative signals to the market. As one forummer points out - stock market is a reflection of consumer's thought and trending. In short, property market will be lagging for approximately 06 months.

Recent correction is no mere concidental but merely engineered to signal all speculators that crashing is nearing.

Good news!

MCL Land's J Gateway condominium in Jurong East will be launched for sale to the public only tomorrow, but already, prospective buyers have showed up at its two-week-old showflat and plonked down 1,400 blank cheques to signal their interest.

These are for the 738 units in the development.

Property cooling measures or no, the clamour for this first condominium to be launched near Jurong East MRT station in 10 years is loud and clear.

And it is not as if the units in the 99-year leasehold project will go cheap; prices are expected to hit a record high for the area.

When contacted, MCL Land, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Land, declined comment.

But marketing agent Huttons has previously said that the average prices of homes in the development can be expected to range from as high as $1,650 per square foot (psf) for a 474 sq ft one-bedder to $1,450 psf for a 1,163 sq ft four- bedder.

The $1,650 psf price tag will be a record for the Jurong East area.

A source said the developer's directors were allowed to purchase units yesterday.

A one-bedroom, 474 sq ft unit on the 18th floor went for $1,617 psf; another one-bedder of this size on the 13th floor was sold at $1,477 psf.

Two-bedroom units went at between $1,453 psf for a 678 sq ft unit on the eighth floor and $1,685 psf for a 28th-storey unit of the same size.

Another source said he was told prices could hit $1,800 psf when the project opens for preview tomorrow. Balloting will start tomorrow for those who have submitted cheques for registration.

Referring to the $1,650 psf indicative price tag for some units, he said that although it will be a record, "it is not that high if you think about how some units at Keppel Land's The Lakefront Residences have changed hands at over $1,400 psf".

The Lakefront Residences, a 99-year leasehold project near Lakeside MRT station, is to obtain its temporary occupation permit (TOP) in 2015.

Some units at the recently launched 99-year leasehold The Trilinq were sold for $1,500 psf. Its website claims it is a 10-minute walk to Clementi MRT station.

BT understands that the most popular units at J Gateway are the two-bedders, said to be over five times over-subscribed.

J Gateway, located beside shopping malls JCube and Jem, has 259 one-bedders, 245 two-bedders, 181 three-bedders, 47 four-bedders and six penthouses.

It will be completed in 2016.

maximising size is good for the buyer i mean. they reduce the size to maximise on profits, ie. charging higher psf, so in a sense good and bad for the buyer.

the recording breaking fact is not so much of the high psf but rather the strong demand!

perhaps this will leave the developers wondering they hv underpriced this proj :beats-me-man:

2 ways to look at it. Making the headlines is good, but for MCL board, they might also think they have under price the project.

I would say so. Consider the similar price to Sky Habitat, this will make Capitaland look very bad and mad. When Capitaland move into their Westgate office, the sight of J Gateway will likely to piss them off.

Ah Tan, my friend.

Did you check out The Sierra?

This place is old la. But it is very affordable. Better than those who bought this Jurong piece of expensive unit.

By the way, this is the JLD concept by URA. For those who have bought this piece of Jem.

Oh I think I have pointed this before. J Gateway's entrance will face the bus interchange. But it's an integrated bus interchange... meaning it is likely to be incorporated by either a commercial or/and residential.

From URA JLD video, it shows integrated transport hub with garden roof top. Which mean, it will be fully aircon, indoor, and connects to the Jurong East MRT. The entrance of the bus interchange will not share the same road as J Gateway and Westgate.

According to JLD plan, Jurong Gateway will have 1000 residential units. J Gateway has got 700+, so the remaining 200-300 units will be the reserve site.

Yes, definitely fully air-conditioned for the comfort of passengers just like Toa Payoh, Sengkang, and Ang Mo Kio bus interchanges.

there will another mix commercial on the other site of the mrt platform which I think will be launch once the integrated transport hub is ready. They could possibly integrate the new Jurong Region Line into the mall as well.

Watch out for the news tonight or tomorrow ...

Office Boy think this maybe the beginning of anoher round of cheongster style ...

When Jurong is $1,600-$1,800 psf ... everything else on this island looks real cheap now ... right ?

U can imagine right ? $1,800 for Clementi now looks CHEAP.

$2,200 for Queenstown 99LH now looks CHEAP!

$2,500 for Redhill now 99LH looks CHEAP!

$2,800 for Jervios FH looks CHEAP!

I was there around 10am today. Very chaotic and tentage full of people. Multiple units/Penthouse gt priority to purchase at 9am. Balloting started close to 11am. Lucky my number was called around 12pm and very lucky(or so i think) to get my preferred units stack 08 (3 bedders) at high floor. Think balloting continued all the way til 1700hours though 2 bedders were sold out around 1pm. Next to be sold out were the 3 bedders. Only around 1900hours then get to sign the Form 3. I got it at around 1460psf.
