    $930k + ABSD 10% = $1.23m = transacted price of a V on Shenton studio unit.

    Yet this one is a residences + retail mall + Grade A offices + 5-star hotel integrated development.

    And jointly developed by the 2 governments. What can go wrong?

    Can you imagine your DUO is in the same development as a Hilton, or St. Regis, or Mandarin hotel, or Westin? And the retail mall at the podium managed by M+S?

    Can assume $930k for 420sqft studio and therefore $2,2xx psf?

    Yep! That's why I say some units are even cheaper than Echelon at Redhill.
    The cheapest 1+S units are just $18xx psf.

    By the way, for buyers who are aiming one of the 54 studio units, don't keep your hopes too high. That's because
    1) Very limited number of studio units.
    2) We heard the sales timeline would be as such (but not confirmed yet):
    Day 1: For Malaysian royalties and VVVVIPs of both countries (we roughly can guess who la..)
    Day 2: For business partners
    Day 3: For multiple units purchasers
    Day 4: Balloting for single unit purchasers.

    3) Not forgetting sales will start AT THE SAME TIME in both Singapore and Malaysia. That is to say, very likey some units would have been reserved for the Malaysian market.

    Default Duo Residences @ Bugis : One of Singapore Most Anticipated New Launch!

    DUO Residences



    DUO Residences is a mixed development which will comprise luxury residences, hotel, offices and a retail complex. The two towers of this development will rule over the Bugis skyline by 2017. The project is being developed by M+S Pte Ltd , a collaboration between Malaysia’s Khazanah Nasional and Singapore’s Temasek Holdings.




    DUO Residences will feature 660 residential units, 21 storeys of Grade A offices, a five-star hotel and about 80,000 square feet of retail space in an area flushed with lush greenery, leisure zones and gardens. The developments will connect to Bugis MRT interchange which links the East-West Line and the Downtown Line. Principal architect Ole Scheeren is world renowned and probably best known for the realization of the China Central Television Station CCTV in China and The Interlace in Singapore, both having won a number of architecture awards.

    WA.... Launch at low price so that only the so called vvvvvvips can enjoy the good deals? The rest have to settle for the remaining higher priced units, after developer adjust price upwards due to 'overwhelming responses' ?

    Haha yes. Something that many people will be concerned with.

    But do you know that being the usual fengshui freak, Temasek Holdings had instructed the German architect to work with a fengshui master in designing DUO?
    Do you know that none of the facings or units of DUO will stare at the "blades" of Gateway directly? See below (you can see the development of DUO was purposely "rounded off" at the two South corners in order to avoid the "blades"):





    Which is why it is good to visit the DUO showflat. There are many stories you don't know about DUO yet. I haven't even touched on the development of the Ophir-Rochor corridor yet.

    Latest:

    Unlike many other new project launches, the developer of DUO will NOT entertain "reservation pending loan approval".

    For serious buyers, please quickly get your bank loan IPA done. Buyer will have to forfeit 1.25% of the purchase price if he decides to abort the purchase due to loan not approved.

    The projected lines are not the mid-angle of the 2 sides.

    Actually his post does not mean anything. Those who book & later back out for whatever reason will forfeit 1.25%. This is the norm and nothing new. Whether buyer choose to take loan or not or later is still up to buyer.

    Can u just imagine the sultan of johor bragging to his fellow sultans that he has a studio in duo. Then the sultan of selangor tell him that his maid toilet is bigger than the johor sultan duo studio.
    The ones competing for studio are th & khazanah directors, the salaried employees

    Sorry, please let me clarify.
    In today's tight conditions of loan restrictions, you can go to many showflats to 'chope' an unit (for one or two days, and some even up to a few days), no need pay the 5%, and say you are awaiting IPA. Later suka suka come back and say loan not approved so cannot buy.

    DUO developer will not allow this.

    I am just afraid that he will brag "the whole Stack 8 (Studio stack) is owned by me". Haha.

    By the way, CBRE's management has already received enquiries from MANY fund managing agencies on DUO. And you know these funds don't buy single units...

    Serious? Sales are quite bad these days and the cases are not getting through to law firms, cos the loan restrictions have squeezed out many buyers from the market. Business is bad, and looks like it will continue to be bad so long as loan restrictions not lifted.

    I find it hard to believe that DUO will be hot item with price tag from $930,000.00 up.
