    Default Potential Site for Eastern Region Line - Telok Kurau/Marine Parade

    Looking at how the gov planned the TSL station location, as much as possible they want to minimise the impact of the residents in terms of aquisition of the land.

    A very good potential site for Telok Kurau Station or Marine Parade Station could be the huge empty plot of land between Still Road South and Kuo Chuan Ave (the row of colonial houses are all on short term lease) as well as the land behind D'Ecosia. The former Grand Hotel site actually. Those sites mentioned belong to the Lee Kong Chian family. It is so much easier to negotiate land aquisition with one owner rather than a bunch of owners right?

    Furthermore, they are close to CHIJ Katong and Toa Nan Pri.

    Is it true that MRT stations are usually near to schools?

    In that case Siglap station shd be near to Victoria sch rather than Siglap center?

    anything except recent new developments, e.g. ECo, which are insanely over-priced, though there are still lots of carrotheads jumping onto the chopping board

    I tend to agree with you, however, another possible site is the URA carpark

    directly opposite Jalan Tua Kong.

    I am more inclined to believe that it shd be on the former HDB site as its more central.

    What else can the govt plan to have on this HDB site?

    Property hunters have only the Axis, Siglap V and Flamingo Valley to shop for condo units, selling at more than $1250psf.

    For me, these developments and the landed properties are way out of my budget.


    My worth.

    it is confirmed the station for MP will be at the junciton of Joo chiat rd and MP road.
    As such to have a station at the still road junction is highly unlikely..as it is too near.

    If i may stretch the distance a little further, Siglap Court, Fernwood Towers, United Mansion and Finland Gardens are others worth looking into as well.

    Other than Fernwood Towers from the second list, there are practically no sellers from the other 3.

    With the newly introduced measure curbing shoebox units, those hoping for en bloc in UM, SC and FG will be in for a disappoinment.

    Finland gardens actually isn't too bad. But unlikely will ever enbloc as the land use is for 3 storey landed. So good if you wanna buy and stay an don't like being disturbed by enbloc.

    Siglap court seems to have been converted to rental units.

    Looks like laguna park and lagoon view residents will have a long walk to the mrt.
