Potential of Joo Chiat area
Dear all,
Joo Chiat for a variety of reasons has been in the news in the recent year/months for better or worse.... Particularly, the publicity (good or bad) there has to some extent appeared to be somewhat contrarian or counter-supportive of what would otherwise in some sense portrary by other write-ups or other forms of media. Top of my head we have
1. Joo Chiat lock out of workers from their quarters (that place is foreign workers infested??)
2. Appears to have some form of support for government intention to convert that to an arts / heritage place?
3. Appears to motivate the point where there are intentions to clamp down Joo Chiat as a red-light district and perhaps to revamp it over time ?
4. Joo Chiat (quarelling) families (for entertainment value?)
.... ....
I was hoping to get some views of the forumers here on owning a property in Joo Chiat area (i.e. Koon Seng Road, Joo Chiat Place, Chiku Road, Rambutan Road, Mangis Road, Joo Chiat Lane.....etc)....
Any advise or views, for or against all welcome.
Thanks!!

Views on Joo Chiat Clearing Up?
It appears there has been a number of articles in the recent weeks/months about the development of JC. There has been discussions in the press about developing that area with a slant towards art/conservation tourism... ... In some other related articles/discussions, there has been assuranec about the non-renewal of certain licences as they fall due to renewal in the Joo Chiat... ....
In consideration of the foregoing and other relevant development which you might have come across, would you view JC as potentially worthwhile looking at both from a consumption and investment point of view... ?
joo chiat has huge potential to be another geylang
with joo chiat having the charm to lure streetwalkers at night, it is indeed the next successor of geylang in being the up and coming red light district. I hear people automatically channelling their thoughts to joo chiat as an alternative when they talk about visiting the red light area. most prostitutes in geylang are those that have been there for decade, some probably old enough to be grandmother. those in joo chiat are hip and young china mei meis catering to the new generation of people visiting red light areas. i encourage the government to consider changing joo chiat into an alternative red light district as we need more to cater to the influx of ang mohs who would love a good night out at joo chiat, their chicken paradise....
