    Default YOG Village Will Be Completed By Feburary 2010


    YOG village will be completed by Feb 2010
    It will be 4-5 months ahead of schedule because of 'green lane' status

    Lee U-Wen
    The Business Times Weekend
    Saturday, 10 May 08



    The Youth Olympics Games (YOG) village will be ready by February 2010 - four to five months ahead of schedule, thanks to the government giving the project 'green lane' status.

    This means that there will be plenty of time for fitting out and testing, well ahead of the Games opening ceremony on Aug 14, 2010.

    Various government agencies have agreed to work together and give greater priority and resources to the project at the new 19 ha University Town campus of the National University of Singapore (NUS).

    The agencies will speed up approval processes, anticipate problems, resolve issues with consultants and contractors, among other things.

    The Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Urban Redevelopment Authority, National Environment Agency, NParks and the Land Transport Authority have been roped in so far.

    NUS deputy president for administration Joseph Mullinix, who chairs the University Town development committee, said that the government's decision to step in has helped eliminate many barriers.

    'The biggest one is time,' he said. 'This project is very large. You are talking about 25-storey buildings on a very compact site, and in a very short timeframe. This is a time of heavy construction activity in Singapore, so we needed to be sure we could attract the best contractors.'

    The International Olympic Committee (IOC) docked several points off Singapore's score when it bid for the YOG last year, citing concerns over the island's ability to complete the Games village on time.

    But doubts were cast aside when Singapore's YOG committee reassured the IOC in December last year that there would be no hiccups with construction or red tape.

    Poh Yu Khing, director of the Sports Hub project, said: 'The IOC looks at construction of major projects around the world all the time. When they saw our University Village project and the time line, naturally they had question marks. But we explained how our construction industry stands out - it is much more certain and is always able to deliver on time.'

    He cited factors such as Singapore's weather, which allows construction to be carried out most of the year, extended work hours and expanded foreign quotas the government can grant for strategic projects.

    BCA, the coordinating agency for University Town, is playing the role of 'goalkeeper' to ensure that the technical needs of all the other agencies are complied with.

    Hardly any changes were made to the original design of the University Town after it was confirmed that it would be the site of the YOG village.

    The only significant addition, said Mr Mullinix, is a dining hall that will be set up to accommodate all 3,500 athletes and the officials during meal times. This is a temporary structure that will be taken down when the Games are over, he said.

    Piling work has already begun at University Town, after a ground-breaking ceremony in February.

    The campus, going up on land that was the Warren Golf Course, will cost between $500 million and $600 million to build. After YOG is over, the campus will be used by NUS students who will live, learn and socialise under the same roof as their professors.

    A two-level bridge across the Ayer Rajah Expressway - the upper for cars and lower for pedestrians - will link the town to the main NUS campus at Kent Ridge.

    Less take up of rental units of nearby properties. They are talking about 25-storey buildings which would yield a few thousand apartment units.

    These units will replace the current units in the hostels and the NUS apartments along Clementi Road.

    Just drove past Inifiniti and saw the test paint job in the last block. Saw some palm trees too. Looks like the project is coming along.

    If the marketing is done properly and with a better interior finishing & unique layout than Carabelle, it's sales should be better.
    BTW, how many units are left?
    complain still ask how many units

    importantly is buying the correct facing. I still remember the ones thats facing the pool ( AYE highway) the price is like 50k more for a 2 bedder. Luckily I choose a unit which is facing the private house, the main gate, as view is also not bad. And importantly is i paid $ 50k less compared to units which are facing the pool side

    Default Hi general message to everyone

    Hi first of all, I would like to let everyone knows that, carabell by simlian. Infiniti = Great Earth , Botannia by Hyundai. I have seen all the construction planning and set out. I think hyundai set out and planning has done great. Anh so the other two. I would like to bring up a point is that, we owners form Inifiniti ( Infintians) should not urgue on those stupid remarks which made by Stupiders.

    we should look at things like the construction planning of the projects and also the surrounding advancement in Jurong east ( govrt plan to become the next Business hub - which includes not only, many superstructures for both commercial & Offices and also residentials and international schools). The coming up of the IRs in sentosa, which will spill over to Pasir Panjang and also to west coast road. Hence, this spill over will then be the important key drive to the west coast road condos. Can you imagine in the next few years, the ready of the IR @ Sentosa and also the new terminal @ Pasir Panjang Terminal 3 reclaimation 3 & 4. Can you image when these 2 new spots of places are ready, how many expatiors and professionals will be working in these areas? And all these professionals will be lokoking probably for condos esp near to west coast. Logically speaking, thats why btw 2006 -2010 there are approx. 4- 5 projects ( >300 units ) building @ west coast are right? The developers have already looked into these main indicators before they set foot @ west coast. They forsee the demand in these area. And i could daringly tell you that that will be more projects coming up near west coast area ( eg, the available site beside the blue horizon is now on sale).

    Hence, we infinitians should look things in this manner, rather to argue with people in noisy or poor finishing. As I am in the construction line, I could tell you that good usage of the finishing materials does not mean better. Is the method of how you install the finishing material is important, and also you must see whos the main contractor. Hyundai I have got nothing to say, great earth A1 contractor a subsidiary of the United Engineer also have nothing to say. Simlian I doubt, they are a group who likes to design and build.(Basically, i have no trust in this contractor) but anyway simlian has also improved alot in recent years. Also about Infiniti along AYE, noise? thats for sure inevitable. When you buy something, you have already account for during the buying. SO how you prevent it, choose a unit which dont face the AYE. Thats how you avoid noise.

    Ok anyway, just a update to you Infinitians out there, we got to be more UP CLASS and FYI, the construction stage will is fast, TOP may be 3 to 5 months early. Most probably before chinese new year. HAHA, Cheers.

    Anyway, I would like to correct the worng thought, distance from Infiniti to CBD area is approx: 10KM rather near compared to people who live in the mid and far eatern area which is approx: 15km or 20 km

    The reason being that pollution will not be that critical is that trees are grew and planted along the highway. The trees help alot in minimizing all the pollution. And also, the most harzardously pollution indicator is not traffic. In singapore, many private houses are built along the highway, and from the ENV report, there isn't any health reports mentioned along the highway.

    Hey I just felt something with your discussion, I find that rather to keep on spatting all the negative points in Infiniti, why dont you do something which is more constructive, read more newspapers, newsweek, or other online useful material to increase your knowledge or on other aspects of your life. And can you look things in broader manner, i find that your views are too microscopic which leads you to keep on seeing noise, health problems la..along highway. Thanks.

    Thanks for the post andykim, let's keep our fingers crossed! I am still hoping Infiniti can be TOP before Xmas this year.

    Actually, I bought a unit facing the expressway, partly because we liked the corner unit near the longkang, so my wife and I are just hoping we'll be able to handle the noise. After all, we currently live next to Clementi Rd, and I can tell you that the horning along a slow moving road is worse.

    I got a 3 bedder at block 39G, facing the E'way too.

    After a slide in the momentum in the construction, things are picking up again, I observed.

    Can't wait, hopefully, by Mar 09.

    Default Things Picking Up fast

    I hope "ht" is right that TOP will be in March 09. I can see some paint job tests in the swimming pool area. Things seemed to have picked up fast in the past 2 weeks. Some palm trees are also planted....

    I am not too bothered about expected noise (I bought a AYE facing unit at 39D). I stayed in a Beijing Condo for 4 years directly facing the Chang An avenue. It is about 15 metres away from the main road. And Chang An avenue is constantly jammed packed...With double-glass windows, I could hardly hear a thing on the 7th floor...So, I think Inifiniti should be all right.

    I don't think I can wish the car noise away. But I do wish that I would get good neighbours....

    You should have holding onto your LH unit instead of buying this one.
    This is another example of chasing FH instead of location is not a wise thing to do when it coms down to property investment.

    Okay Okay, after receiving so many pms ( some sarcastic ones too )regarding why I bought 4 units here in West Coast. So as not to be selfish , I shall share with all here today. My humble reasons are as follow :

    1) There is an supply and demand imbalance for private housing here.
    2) There are many middle and high ranking managers of huge MNCs here looking for a decent condo housing in West Coast/ Jurong since 2002.
    3) An agent of mine showed me last year that on the average, a private condo unit is vacant here only for a week with a rental return of 5%!
    4) Coupled with the in progress research companies developments and billions foreign energy investment here , I think the imbalance would only get worse in the next 2-5 years.
    5) Because of this lack of private condo supply here, the potential tenants here are now looking for subsitute areas like Upper Bukit Timah and Pasir Panjang instead.

    Mid and mass tier MOVING UP AND UP. WEST COAST MOVING UP AND UP !

    Just my humble take. A 2 cents worth only . LOL

    Hi I am fully agree to your views, if not developers will not dare to develop so many projects over @ west coast area, the projects are actually targeted to the foreigners expatriots rather the local singaporeans.

    If I were you, just dump this piece of property at all cost before prices collapsed in this belt of re-develop condos.

    If you don't believe, go to URA site and check-out the transacted price for LAkeshore, How can location at lakeshore doing so much better than westcoast?

    The signs of weakness are showing in areas where TOP dates are nearer.

    Actually at $748 psf is still consider high. Look at the recent transactions, there barely reach $700 psf...
