    Thank you. It took me a while to figure out what is SSC - it is Skyscrapercity right?

    I like the pics and info from SSC. Marina One will be interesting....

    out of the 3, M1 location will be the best. I think there will be 3 or 4 MRT line cutting through that area.

    I also like the grid layout of the area. Very Manhattan like.

    Yes, what stations you want can be found in just 400M.
    Very strategic. I can only say, the Govt has always reserved the best for themselves isnt it.


    I am more keen to see which project out of the 3 will launch first and of course, price

    I also think marina one is the best among the 3. But looks like duo will launch first. maybe M+S wants to test waters

    At $3,500 psf, rent sure cannot cover - less than 1% rental yield probably. So most buyers buy for own stay? Or rich tai tai buy as trophy property to show off, for pple with spare cash to burn?

    Owners Buy Financial district not for rental, long term capital appreciation

    Some say nvr buy leasehold 99 years if u r looking for capital appreciation, cos u can't hold it long term like a freehold ppty. In another words, u need to time ur entry n exit well for leasehold ppties, which can be tricky.

    That is a myth. You can't hold FH property forever also.

    Both FH and LH properties get en-bloc
    Seldom, we will see FH properties > 99 years
    Seldom, we will see LH properties exhausting its lease
    Location is far superior than FH status
    You can't hold FH forever either (you will die or the house might rot)
    Timing entry/exit is vital for any property/investment, not only LH

    -agree.. Unless you are intending to leave the house behind for your kids or grandchildren.

    But then again, there is always a wear and tear situation after 25-30 years.

    Default DUO and Marina One set for 2017 completion

    DUO and Marina One set for 2017 completion
    Sep 6, 2013 - PropertyGuru.com.sg
    Comment E-mail to friend Bookmark & Share
    Two mega mixed-use projects jointly developed by Malaysia and Singapore are expected to be ready in 2017, after the developer M+S awarded two construction contracts amounting to S$2 billion.

    DUO in the Bugis area will be built by Japanese Obayashi Corporation, while a Korean consortium of Hyundai Engineering & Construction and GS Engineering & Construction will be responsible for erecting Marina One in Marina South.

    The two projects are the result of the 2010 land swap deal between Singapore and Malaysia, under which Malaysian railway land in Singapore was returned in exchange for four land parcels in Marina South and two in Ophir-Rochor.

    Responding, M+S Chairman Tan Sri Azman Yahya said the appointment of the three contractors was another milestone for the two iconic developments. M+S is a 60:40 joint venture between Khazanah and Temasek.

    Both projects have a total development value of S$11 billion and will comprise residential, office and retail components. DUO will also feature a hotel.

    Construction for the two projects is expected to begin this year.

    Fully agree....very beautifully summarized. Too many people have misconception abt LH properties. Haha...you are right. Be it freehold or LH, the house will eventually rot....

    Yes I am sure it will get enbloc before 99 years but LH, when enbloc gotta top up lease while the no need so buy old FH is the best

    Freehold is definitely better than leasehold if all else are equal.... however freehold always has added upfront premium to pay over leasehold... so there is really no difference : )

    Hi Royston8H, preview for Marina One is expected within the next 1-2 months. Will keep this thread posted.

    Finishing and quality will definitely match DUO Residences @ Bugis.

    Happy CNY!

    In future, I can imagine more towers coming up and "towering" over Marina One.

    Any idea what lies ahead for the land around Marina One? I can imagine it'll be more commercial/resi mix developments, rather than recreational or green lungs.

    True
