    if the area cleared of parapoondeks and mustafa gets shifted to Tuas, replacing that with Sheng Siong, then the psf for citysquare will shoot up to $1800psf.

    if mustafa shift out of the place and the parapoondek town get shifted to someplace else, then the price of citysquare will shoot up 50% instantly.

    luckily or unluckily parapoondek town is under "heritage" zone, so is there for perpetuity ~

    Not in your lifetime. If they move, where can they go? no more little india?

    They are very strong and very inclined to stay there for a long long time. Their success was built on their business model of being cheaper and having strong support from the parapoondeks from Singlapore and Banglapore and Indla. Sometimes, prapoondeks from other parts of the world patronise them too.

    Old entrance gets new life - at City Square

    By LINETTE LIM


    A PIECE of Singapore's history - the New World Gate - has been reconstructed and unveiled at City Square Mall. Mall owner City Developments Limited (CDL) said that the reconstruction took 12 weeks and cost more than $200,000.


    Arch from the past: The New World Gate has been reconstructed and unveiled at City Square Mall, which sits on a part of the former New World Amusement Park

    The mall sits on a part of the former New World Amusement Park, which was bounded by Serangoon Road, Kitchener Road and Whampoa River.

    CDL group general manager Chia Ngiang Hong said: 'The gate was brought down from the old location (in Jalan Besar), sent to a factory for touching up, re-painting and casting of badly corroded parts.'

    The reconstructed New World Gate is now located at the main entrance to City Square Mall on Kitchener Road.

    Mr Chia had particularly fond memories of the New World gate. 'During occasions like Chinese New Year and the mid-autumn festival, it was a real challenge for the crowds to squeeze through the gate!'

    Set up in 1923 by brothers Ong Boon Tat and Ong Peng Hock, the New World Amusement Park was one of the three 'worlds' - the other two being Great World Amusement Park and Gay World - that drew Singapore crowds from the 1920s to the 1960s.

    It closed its doors in 1987, driven out by the competition that came in the form of television, shopping malls and night clubs.

    Mr Chia feels that malls have replaced the three 'worlds' as community hubs. However, architect Tan Kar Lin said: 'While they are both popular places of consumption and leisure, the mall today and the 'worlds' of yesteryears are very much products of their times, fulfilling the needs and markets of different societies.'

    There was another studio done for 1750psf 2 months back but not reflected in URA data - most probably paid fully in cash.

    Have been to the mall numerous times, lots of families and edu/tuition centers. Nice place, better walking spaces than Nex mall.

    Think the condo has not set any new high this year. 900 units, quite a lot, anyone know if it is crowded inside?

    I visited the condo a couple of times. Alot of foreigners and students. Very cosmopolitant. However, the security there quite lax. You can walk in/out as you please via the side gate by following the person in front of you. Overall good location. Imagine when it was launched, it was only going for 500+ psf

    500plus was quite sometime back in 2004/05. Think when it crossed 1000psf, some thought it was crazy. But it went up, up and away. Despite all the concerns, seem unfounded based on current prices. But if have young kids, may be not so advisable to wonder beyond certain lanes at night.

    Just seen this comment in propertyguru

    First time read about overcrowding. Anyone heard of similar problems can validate if this is true?

    For condos with 1000 units or more, it will be interesting to hear opinions on how much facilities and site area are considered comfortable enough? Think probably need 2 pools for 1000 units.
    Bad experience in my 1 yr stay here!

    Posted by Chai on Nov 28, 2012
    I faced the same issue (lousy management/ lousy security guards) too.
    Both the management and security guards are very unfriendly perhaps due to they need to deal with more than 900 units in the same condominium.
    My experience staying in this condominium have been more than unpleasant, home should be an oasis of peace instead whenever I wanted to visit the pool or facilities I find myself fighting with many people. It is like visiting Orchard Road on a weekend. Very stressful for me.
    I have stayed here for a year and regretted buying. Should have listened to my agent to check out alternative condominiums nearby such as Kerrisdale etc.
    Anyway it is simply too late for me.

    I recommend this building for: City Living, Outdoors & Activities and Families with Children.

    Don't believe everything u hear.
    probably is a buyer looking to buy.
    Owner unlikely to slap own face and say his house is lousy, right.
