Yes agree. Good main con.
Problem is the unit layout not very good. At this price level, probably more choices to choose from.
Comparatively, I find the 1 bedders good sized in the 600+ sqft range ... also the pricing is much more competitive compared to TP or SB.
i believe South Beach and TP will be a whole lot more exclusive. Duo has slightly too many units to my liking, their marina one will be worse.
About SB, I think their 99 lease started 7 to 8 years back. By the time top, easily 10 yrs gone already.
Duo lease starts 1 July 2011. Its really very hard to know if next year would be better .. but I'm sure the soothsayers would say we are already tail end of the "bull run"

Queensland, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/24/2013 -- Duo Residences is one of the most anticipated developments to be brought to the city of Singapore. Standing tall and stunningly on the streets of Bugis, Duo Residences serves as an iconic mixed development that comprises luxury residences, office spaces, hotel, and retail gallery, all within a warm and friendly park-like environment. With all these, Duo Residences is not just an ordinary development, but a statement of art to be sipped in everyday living.
Carefully planned by the joint company M+S Pte Ltd (jointly owned by Malaysia’s Khazanah Nasional and Temasek Holdings) and beautifully designed by the world’s famous architect Ole Sheeren, Duo Residences is brought within a lively garden-like environment as two luxury towers, which separate the 660 units of residences and the commercial units of classy office spaces, retail complex and a five-starred hotel.
The mixed-use development is also strategically seated on Ophir-Rochor Road in the Downtown Core of Singapore, surrounding itself with endless choices of amenities, lifestyle and entertainment. Residents are conveniently served with easy connectivity, especially with the direct basement level connection to the brand new Bugis Interchange MRT Station, which makes travelling to hip spots like Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Orchard Road, or Singapore River much easier.
The combination of an iconic architecture, strategic location, easy accessibility and all the conveniences offered makes Duo Residences a perfect place to call home. Either for convenient own stay or promising investment, Duo Residences is never going to be a letdown.

Wow !
A bag full of tricks !
Areas around sports hub - Dakota .. South bank and duo and linked to mrt.. I can expect prices to be supported and head north. The area is being revitalized
well i don't think it makes a difference right now. Even for SB which starts from 2007(?) ... its going to be priced much higher than Duo ..
that said, how long does such residential (with office, hotel and retail) last normally before it needs to be enbloc-ed?
Do we have such an example?
The units for this project are mostly oversized by today's standard. I guess they appeal to the Malaysian buyers who are used to bigger units. Also good for local buyers who are after bigger units which is scarce or almost impossible to find in the new launches nowadays.
Unfortunately most of the 1brs, though having a big floor size, have very weird layouts. The 2brs and 3brs are really nice ... Very spacious living room and bedrooms ... I know 2 friends buying for own stay.
Whether is it downtown core or not .. It's just right smack between suntec and bugis ... Super short distance from Raffles Hotel etc ... Such is a good location.
I don't see which district or zone its in makes a difference.
Nowadays market is non-discerning, even OCR can selling like 1300-1500sqft, where does that put CCR?
i like the layout of B1. Squarish and not too too small comparing to todays MM.
