I'll be keeping a close watch on TP180, Duo and Marina.
Vest in 1.
out of the 3, M1 location will be the best. I think there will be 3 or 4 MRT line cutting through that area.Originally Posted by smartboy2
I also like the grid layout of the area. Very Manhattan like.

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
I guess duo $3,200 psf and marina one $3,500 psf on average
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?Originally Posted by Learner
$3,500 psf but shoebox sizes of 300-400 sqft? lolOriginally Posted by riverfish

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

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

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.
Yes, pls chiong faster, I wait until neck very long liao...
4000psf??

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
any idea if this Marina One has started to sell or already a fully sold out?
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!
