why so? hospital are well ventilated, bus mrt and plane are using recycled air within a crowded and air tight cabin. Have you not remember that during SARS outbreak, most of them contracted the disease in the plane, bus and taxi etc.Originally Posted by sunrise
anyway, unless you have facts and evidence to show what you claim, else, I will take that as being sour grape about whats happening at JLD.

medical is a recession proof and ever growing industry. there will be plenty of rental demand from medical professionals working at NTF hospital. Especially those single expat doctors who doesnt own a car.

NOT FORGETTING THE SURROUNDING 5 MEGA MALLS!!
JCUBE,JEM,WESTGATE,IMM AND BIGBOX.
In terms of location, JMD will no doubt beat hillview peak and hillion. whether JMD will go at a high price still depends on its amenities and how crowd it is.Originally Posted by sunrise
I thought hillview peak and hillion are good for own-stay for those who like
little Guilin. These people should not care whether the price there will go up or not.
.....I don't need that, I can still afford to the properties I have in hand.......just cannot understand your rationale for the hospital issue....the properties near the above mentioned hospitals are the more expensive areas.....how come?Originally Posted by sunrise
Good news Sumitomo has established a regional center in Singapore. It is also expanding its capacities (notably tyres that are used for cars which is a luxury good). Its downstream partners are likely to have plans for expansion to take up the products. More jobs, more buyers and more tenants in the west.
Sumitomo sets up support HQ here
Unit to be operational on Monday, backing the group's business development in the region
BY RONNIE LIM
PUBLISHED MARCH 29, 2013
SUMITOMO Chemical, the largest Japanese investor on Jurong Island, has set up a new Business Support Regional HQ in Singapore for its South-east Asia, Indian and Oceania operations.
Apart from a number of chemical plant investments here, Sumitomo heads a Japanese consortium which owns half of Singapore's first multi-billion-dollar petrochemical complex.
Its new regional business support HQ, known as Sumitomo Chemical (Asia Pacific), will be operational from April 1 and will back the group's business development in this high-growth region, where some 22 Sumitomo companies are operating.
"Given the prospects, Sumitomo Chemical has decided to establish regional headquarters anew in Singapore to support the company's business development in this high-growth region," it said.
The new Singapore support HQ will work closely with its Office for Asia Business Headquarters, a new strategic arm to be set up concurrently at Sumitomo Chemical's head office back home, it added.
Sumitomo Chemical has been active on Jurong Island, where it heads a Japanese group of chemical investors that holds a combined 50 per cent share in the $5.4 billion Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore. PCS operates a 1.4 million tonne ethylene cracker that feeds a number of downstream chemical plants.
Sumitomo, which recently said that it would permanently shut down one of its main crackers in Japan, expects its Singapore base to account for 30 per cent of its total petrochemicals production - with Saudi Arabia accounting for 50 per cent (once its Rabigh II project comes onstream in 2016) and Japan down to just 20 per cent.
PCS is also adding a US$100-150 million downstream plant to supply butadiene to synthetic rubber plants on the island.
Sumitomo's latest investment here also involves a US$120 million solution styrene-butadiene rubber (S-SBR). It broke ground on the Jurong Island project last February, with the 40,000 tonne-per-annum plant set to produce synthetic rubber for tyres once it is completed in June this year.
Earlier this month, PCS managing director Akira Yonemura disclosed that the PCS complex, in which Shell and Qatar Petroleum International own a quarter stake each, is studying several other mid to long-term projects to boost the complex's competitiveness.

Jurong Gateway's much-anticipated Westgate shopping mall (pictured) is now 50 percent leased, ahead of its planned opening in December next year.
The mall offers a total of 416,000 sq ft in net lettable area (NLA), mainly targeting middle-income families, professionals, students and commuters. It is part of an integrated development under a joint venture (JV) by CapitaMalls Asia (CMA) Limited, CapitaMall Trust (CMT) and CapitaLand Limited. Meanwhile, the office component, Westgate Tower, has been approximately 50 percent pre-leased to CapitaLand.
Moreover, the development is directly linked to the Jurong East MRT and bus interchanges. Among the tenants that have showed keen interest in the mall are Paul Bakery and Isetan supermarket.
According to Lim Tien Chun, Managing Director at Isetan (Singapore), the supermarket is now "looking forward to the opening of our store at Westgate – our sixth in Singapore. It will be our first store in the west of Singapore and also our first Japanese-style supermarket outside Orchard Road."
Other tenants also include Food Republic, Paradise Dynasty, Café Crema and Steak & Seafood Robatayaki Buffet. Yamaha will also open a music school at Westgate.
"Westgate will be the catalyst for the transformation of the Jurong Lake District into a key regional hub, the largest outside the Central Business District. We are excited to bring retailers such as Paul Bakery and Isetan Supermarket to Singapore's West with their first stores outside Singapore's downtown core," commented Wee Su Lin, General Manager of Westgate.
JEM unveils latest line-up of high street fashion brands
By Annie Ye
In the lead-up to its launch in the second quarter of next year, Jem™ is proud to confirm the addition of H&M, Uniqlo, and Apple via EpiCentre to the strong retail mix already assembled at Jem™.
Lend Lease Project Development Director, Mr Paul Walker, said: "When Jem™ is completed, it will be Singapore's third largest suburban shopping mall. By securing H&M, Uniqlo, Apple via EpiCentre and many other fantastic retail partners, we are on track to realise our brand promise of bringing the best of Orchard Road to the West."
H&M's store at Jem™ will be its first in Singapore's suburbs and will occupy over 19,000 sq ft and span three floors. The store is anchoring a prominent location in the mall with good visibility from the Jurong East Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station. "Since our opening last September, we have had an amazing response from the shoppers in Singapore," said Mr Lex Keijser, Country Manager, H&M Singapore. "With the development buzz happening in the Jurong precinct, we are excited to be expanding to the western part of the country and bringing H&M's fashion and quality at the best prices nearer to the homes of our customers," he added.
Jem™ will have six levels spanning a gross floor area of 818,000 sq. ft. (76,000 sq. m) and house over 260 retailers. To date, 80% of the retail area has been leased. Apart from the three reputable brands mentioned earlier, other well-known names which will be present at Jem™ are Charles & Keith, Crabtree & Evelyn, Pazzion, Pedro and Swarovski.
Last year, Robinsons, FairPrice Xtra, Courts, Marks & Spencer, Cathay and Koufu were secured as major anchor tenants. Cathay will feature the largest cinema multiplex in the West, including their Platinum halls and lounge. The Robinsons Group of Companies will be marking their first suburban venture with their flagship Robinsons department store and a Marks & Spencer store. FairPrice Xtra will field a 70,000 sq ft hypermarket.
In keeping with the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s decentralisation strategy to establish commercial hubs outside the city centre and to provide jobs closer to homes, an office tower situated above the retail component of the building has been fully let under a 30-year lease to the Ministry of National Development, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority and the BCA.
"As a major mixed-use development at Jurong Gateway, Jem™ represents one of the many steps we are taking to increase our retail footprint in Asia," said Mr Michael Kenderes, Head of Development, Southeast Asia, Lend Lease "Certainly, Singapore retail remains very competitive. However, Jem™ moves away from repeating existing retail formats in catering to the dynamic needs of today's shoppers. Overall, Jem™ is the product of a very careful assessment of the retail and property markets, and also current consumer trends and expectations."
Upon completion, Jem™ is expected to service 300,000 residents and workers within Jem's primary trade area and 1.12 million people residing in the West of Singapore. Being adjacent to the transportation hub in Jurong East, Jem™ is seamlessly linked to the rest of Singapore. There is direct access to the Jurong East MRT station that serves both north-south and east-west train lines. The mall is also well-connected with close proximity to the Jurong East Bus Interchange and has above ground connectivity to neighbouring sites.
