I drove past RV high and my wife commented that it looks like a flatted factory :doh: :doh:. The entire Boon Lay spruce up is catered to the large population of parapundeks and PRC working and living in Jurong area. The interesting thing is that most people living in that area have problems with their noses and seem immune to the acrid smell of factory fumes in the air. :doh: :doh:

Get a life bro, get a life.
It pains me to see you always acting like a child here with all these low baller comments, will you pls grow up and give some constructive comments than putting down all those projects you deem as lousy, it seems that you had left lots of dirt all over this forum already with those crappy comments of yours.
If you think the place you are staying is great, pls share with us then, else stop behaving like a child here.
The fact is The Centris price holds well know, so if you are jealous and did not buy at low, just admit it, no one will laugh at you bro. :cheers6:
Personal preferences and budget always decide where one choose to stay. ignore those who just don't see the reason why you like it. prices for centris are holding very well too, so no point arguing with people who only say, but without the concrete numbers.

Go ENT and get your nose checked before your lungs get any worse. Health is more important than money, just a piece of friendly advice to you.:doh: :doh: :doh:

I used to travel to Boon Lay MRT/Jurong Point very often in the 90s as I studied in NTU and my army camp was located at that part of Singapore. There was this 'coco' smell which I was told it was from a perfume factory nearby. I tend to walk faster and go into enclosed area as I felt nauseous when I inhaled this smell.
I have not been there since I graduated. Is the smell still lingering at the premise?

Yes, the coco smell is still there. Can still smell it sometimes when I visit SAFRA Jurong.
Also, the smell is coming from the Cadbury chocolate factory.

For sure, the smell is there and is irritating. :cool:
But i don't think it is that harmful, else many thousands of our west's resident should have lung problem by now.:doh:

the smell is still lingering and even stronger. there is a mix of coco smell and tobacco and petrochemical fumes. Of course no doctor when diagnosing a patient living in jurong with lung cancer would dare say that factory fumes from jurong is the direct cause of it, but you and i know that cancer in the body is a prolonged build-up in the body and remember that our body is constantly fighting against these foreign agents. some people who have lousy immune systems will die faster than others coz their bodies easily succumb to these foreign agents. it doesnt mean that just because you can live to 70 in jurong means these foreign agents arent acting against your body, it is just that the person has better immune system that others to fight against these toxins. who would want to live in an area knowing that ur body is constantly having to battle against such toxins everyday. it is bloody bizzare that people are still talking about raising kids in that area or to spend their retirement in such a place. i can only wish residents in jurong the best of health. One more thing is that JTC still owns a lot of industrial land in jurong waiting to be converted to factories, so jurong west residents, keep ur fingers crossed that you do not get to smell other different "aromas" on top of those that have already been mentioned (that is if your noses are working at all). :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

This is very true, I am in the EPC industry, my company has participated in projects and tenders which call for plant improvements and modifications to air pollution control systems, you will be shocked to know that many plants in the West still do not have proper pollution controls which meet international standards, one of them being a very large rubbish incinerator which isl being upgraded to meet international standards for emission of dioxins, but this plant has already been operating for many years, so you can imagine the amount of dioxins breathed in by our dear friends in the West. There are also many, many plants whom we visited and were told not to visit after 6pm, as that was the time more wastes gases are being released.
Stay in the West at your own risk.

You forgot less polluted :)
I only smell a stench of jealousy in the air... :cheers1:
if that's the case, then the people working in the west shld be worried too.
maybe lots of ppl who stay in centris work in town or something? so effects are mitigated ;)

If you work in town, there is even less of a need to stay in Jurong area.

What you mentioned have already been built into the price, accounting for the west side of the island being cheaper than the east.
That's the reason I have properties north, south, east, centre but so far not west.
Somehow it doesn't seem complete without a "west".

I think the only reason for buying into the West is for the large, albeit less well heeled, rental pool to tap into.

Punggol is equally bad, especially with pollution coming from the petrochemical plants at the shore of pasir gudand just across from Punggol.
You are right in choosing not to compromise on basic quality of life like air and if we can choose to live in a less polluted place in the first place, why choose to stay in a polluted industrial town knowing that your basic necessity, air, is being compromised. I am not saying that other parts of singapore are 100% pollution free, but they are at least better than jurong (with the exception of punggol)

My reason is quite different. :ashamed1:
It's like what Property_Owner said ... "feeling".
I want to "feel" that I own a part of Singapore everywhere I go. But when I go Jurong, I don't feel "ownership" of Singapore.
Of course it would be best if I have 40+ properties like Property_Owner, then the coverage will be much better. :cheers1:
Then can have "feelings" every few hundred metres, rather than every few kilometres. :p

One Seven Palms condo in The Island will liquidate all my other properties around the mainland.
Then it will defeat the purpose I mentioned above.
Then everyday I will just be driving around Sentosa. :scared-5:

Hi Bro
the above transactions are all penthouses and ground units, hence that explains why the low PSF, its pretty normal for such units to have low PSF. :cheers6:

Paying 1k psf for a factory-like condo in factory town is really nuts. i have never seen a condo that looks so cheapskate like centris (somemore in a cheapskate residential estate). I would rather buy Geylang at less than $600psf anytime than pay close to $1k psf for a "condo" in Jurong West extension all the way to factory land .....OMG....:doh: :doh:

Last time when i studied in NTU i thought the 'coco' smell in Jurong West was weird but still bearable. However, after 4 years of breathing that it honestly smells like burnt human flesh (to me anyway)
To each his own but I really buay tahan that smell anymore...quite sickening :beats-me-man:

it's a sickly sweet smell...some try to identify it as cocoa but why don't you try smelling it for 4 years...it may smell like something different to you.

We may be reaching point of irrationality.
99 yrs LH.
Surroundings over run by FTs.
Fighter jets overhead(can see the rivets and feel the power of the engines).
Factories just across the road spewing all manners of dust and fumes into your air.

I know the smell in Jurong from the cocoa plant, i just did not know it is almost the same as burnt flesh.
FTs or FWs? 2 totally different category. :p

Talents in what? This one is debatable.
Well, go down to the park opposite Jurong Point especially on weekends and see...you won't dare to let your women folk out there by themselves.
Come to think of it, even local men dare not venture into the green open space opposite Jurong Point.

Can it hit $1,000 psf by then?

Went to Centris for some viewings today. While the mall was extremely packed and gave me the headache, the ambience was a stark contrast once you reach the 5th floor (pool level).
Around yr 2000 when i was still in the army, JP (phase 1) was just a small mall, not packed at all, but sufficient to entertain us during our nights off.
During 2003/4 when i was in uni, JP (phase 2) has expanded and become more happening. Still, the place was not considered crowded and v pleasant to jalan jalan.
This evening was my 1st trip to JP (phase 3) after so many yrs. I could barely squeeze may way through along some of the aisles. Everywhere was having long queue, from restaurants to EC House to Popular bk store to money changer to carparks .... I was joking to my friend that if i were to pick up my shoe and start throwing randomly at the crowd, the chances of me hitting a fellow singaporean could be < 10%

Jurong Point seems to be a hot spot for foreigners. Maybe lots of FTs living in Jurong West. Weekends are the worst, but weekdays are packed as well. Getting suffocating to shop there. You can hardly walk in a straight line or hear English spoken. I feel like a minority there!
I viewed a few Centris units 1-2 years ago. Some are nicely renovated, but I also saw a few 5th floor units full of clutter and junk in the backyard or patio. From exterior Centris looks really ugly and messy with all the different colours of curtains. It just looks cheap. But pool is nice.

i remember jurong point from the days where it didn't even have the extension wing, when it was just a solo block.
and by the way, it's pretty pricey stuff you're checking out there. why not head back a few stations closer to jurong east. newer stuff, cheaper price perhaps.
when JLD ready lakeside, boonlay & jurong point will be the next golden triangle.

This is a 2 rm ground floor unit (level 5) with PES.
Me miss the boat on the unit in 09 as choose to go buy D16 cause new launch as already have 1 in lakeside to diversify.
Still waiting for Centris as work in west.
Any news on west to share.
So is a ground floor unit ... No wonder. Tks Bro ( or sister :D )
Diversity is good, we also buy one each at West, centre, East,
Iskandar Malaysia counted? If so, then North also settle, but only left one shoot at South area. Looking at commercial project at Pasir Panjang D5.
West is good lah, DPM in charge there, 2nd financial hub , can't wait to see the transformation complete by 2018!

Ha ha, Bro here.
Good to hear you doing well.
I work in west, really good potential, Tuas extension area huge investments, Good job by EDB.
I don't have any in centre, in 2009 nearly got the sail but think too much and miss it. just got 1 in North last year 3% absd (awaiting TOP) for own stay as want to be away from city.
Also like some bro/sis here, Thinking to sell my HDB EA then get a north MM for retirement home but wait for ABSD not so high first.
PM me when free, one day can meet for coffee to learn & share :rolleyes:
I will never sell a HDB EA, as HDB flat will be something got $$$ can't buy anymore in future, also it like a "Freehold".
Rent out better, as the yield for HDB EA should be good!
I do know there Property course teach people -
a. "Sell HDB flat,
b. buy one MM Condo unit and one Commercial unit ,
c. and use commercial unit rental to pay for both unit mortgage".
Maybe possible for some, but we all know the cost is too high.
Such misleading teaching should stop, if not will be cases like few years ago, many listen to agent and sell their HDB and rent a unit (or no place to stay)
till now....
