    Good and bad. These funds have been known to dump indiscriminately when sentiment sours.

    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...
    By thru SPV no need ABSD?

    The VVVIP will be more keen on Marina One project. Perhaps the more conservative muslim VVIP might like DUO due to its proximity to the Sultan mosque.

    At this price ... It's definitely launched at a discount to the current market price of projects similar grade .... This should not be a hard sell

    Yes you are right.
    The only other two "4-in-1" developments are TP180 (will be renamed as Clermont Residences) and South Beach Residences.

    To me, different category. Location neither here nor there.

    Concourse Skyline is a residential-only development.

    Default URA Gallery Visit, Anyone?

    For buyers who are interested to know the facings of the various unit types of DUO Residences, it might be good to visit the URA Gallery.

    Till date, I have brought 4 clients to the URA Gallery and all of them had very good feedbacks. At the very least, they had a much better understanding of the relative location of DUO, and the facings of the various unit types.

    At this stage, we cannot post online the locations of the various unit types yet. But we can share it with you at the URA Gallery.

    Feel free to let me know if you'd like to see DUO at the URA gallery. Over there, I will be able to answer questions like:
    "Where are the studio units?"
    "Which stack can I get a 2-bedder above 31st floor?"
    "If I choose the cheaper 1-bedder facing the courtyard, what views do I get? At which floor?"
    "Which unit types facing the courtyard of DUO will also have an unblocked view towards Orchard?"
    "Which unit type will have both sea view and Marina Barrage view?"





    (P.S. You will not be able to see this impressive model at the DUO sales gallery. That means you will not know EXACTLY what view(s) you are going to get just by looking at the model in the DUO sales gallery alone. Visiting the URA Gallery really helps.)

    Hope to see you!

    my friend was like "wow the sea view is awesome"...

    Thanks for the nice photos. Very helpful.
    Will there be waterfront buildings in front of DUO in the future?
    If there are or the possibility is still unknown, above which floor for the seafacing units will any future block be less likely?

    But there are lots of empty land bet DUO and waterfront.
    Same issue with Concourse, not sure what will be built in front of their seaview?

    if concourse skyline is not a good comparison, what about south beach? I find that location equally good and architecturally also very good looking? Maybe can size each other up?

    I don't think the seaview will be permanent. But the location is not bad.

    location is definitely a huge plus point, given that its on the right combination of MRT lines, connecting it conveniently to CBD, MBFC area, Changi and so forth. It comes down to choosing the right unit at the right price.

    I will think twice before investing now. Anything above 1.1M for a studio, life will be very difficult when interest go up to 2% and rental drop to 3k. Imagine interest rate go back to 3.5%.

    Whatever the selling price they are setting for DUO , they will mark up higher for M + S project.

    the first obstacle to investing now is the absd. the rising interest spread and rental drop (if any) only comes in much later. If everyone in this project is an investor and pays the same absd, then the field becomes level somewhat, only after one can stomach the absd.

    What if developer absorbs the ABSD? would it still be an obstacle?
    Wonder if any developers now still offer ABSD absorption for new launches.
    Level playing field issue will only come in when one is competing for it based on similar affordibility, if not, not a real issue

    DUO RESIDENCES is a mixed development of a planned luxury residences, hotel, office and retail complex to be located on Ophir-Rochor Road in the Downtown Core of Singapore. This 2.7 ha prime site is strategically located in the heart of the City Centre along the Beach Road / Ophir-Rochor Corridor and is a natural extension from the established convention, office, hotel hub at Marina Centre. This new growth area is envisioned to become an exciting 24/7 mixed-use cluster. It will comprise integrated developments with office, hotel, retail, entertainment and residential uses, all set within an attractive garden-like environment. New developments in the Beach Road / Ophir-Rochor Corridor will inject vibrancy and activities into this part of the city and form a new office cluster for financial and business institutions that will complement the existing financial district at Raffles Place and Marina Bay

    Sorry guys, tried to edit last message but I couldn't.
    Just received developer's instructions that we can't post the floorplans on Internet yet.
    Don't worry. Will be soon!

    I just saw the full floor plans.
    There are only 20+ units of 420sf studio and 20+ units of 527sf studio.
    The rest of the 1 bedder are 600+ to 700+ sf.
    Meaning only a small handful of units are sub 1m.

    The rest will be big quantum. I bet it will not be a sell out project.
    Btw I saw some website advertising clermont 1 bedder starts from 2m.

    Hahaha guys that's why you must go to the sales gallery with your favourite agent and place an indication of interest! Yon never know. Skarly the biggest 1BR is really lower than $1.3m...
