How is JE Mrt interchange going to cope? It is already extremely crowded.

Not only that. Expect the jurong east interchange to be busier.

The Jurong Region Line will serve commuters to activity spots in Jurong West, such as Nanyang Technological University, the Jurong industrial estate including Jurong Island and the future Jurong Gateway.
Residents in Chua Chu Kang, Boon Lay and the future developments in Tengah will get to use this Jurong line from 2025.

What makes you think those staying in the east can't afford the west?Originally Posted by Ringo33
You see east coast, bedok, tanah merah, tampines people no up?
Many went thru 4 years of uni life and stayed in the west before. Be it in hostel or rented rooms around west. Not conducive means not conducive, no dispute about that.
Yah also why Abercrombie set up first stall along orchard n not jem. LV, chanel, gucci, Prada should all move to j cube n jem mah. Maybe LKY can consider shifting from Oxley to jld also. Think more than 80% of Singapore must be crazy not to live or aspire to live in jld

I worked around the area at one point.
That time we had the older JE shopping mall next to the MRT.
I am glad that I no longer work there. I think it is one of the worst MRT stops due to the crowds. Everywhere around the area, crowd from the factories etc congregate. In the evening, many people use the vacant land around the MRT as "picnic grounds."
However, if the government is genuinely interested in redeveloping the area to a point that justifies this $1600 price tag, then good.
But if the changes are only cosmetic and quick, then I'm rather skeptical.
Plus points.
1)MRT
2)JEM
Minus Points
1)High price which is unheard of for that area
2)Gateway to the industrial areas/factories of Tuas/Pioneer, which means the crowd around the area will consist of people attached to those industries
3) 99 LH
4) Distance from the city
But seriously to those who are going to buy, I hope you have looked around at the other places.

Abercrombie stupid mah, lack foresight of the JLD investors, they will regret. likewise many ministers staying at east side will regret too. wat to do?Originally Posted by Regulators
if u notice the "orchard" brands that are venturing into ocr are names like uniqlo, h&m, robinsons, and m&s. These are still brands that primarily sell to the masses, bcos of the population catchement in the west. but where are the luxury and high end boutiques?Originally Posted by oops
so what does this tell u about the targeted crowd and potential?
Can someone answer me at today context whether we can still get a 1 bedder of 500sqft in town/cbd within 200m of mrt at 1600psf?
The reason I ask this question is to find out whether the whole market is overpriced or just J gateway
Thanks.
Im sure you can find a similar unit/location elsewhere with a much lower price tag....Originally Posted by Allthepies
Also look at the selling price around JE. Once you factor in the MRT and JEM, is it still worth paying that much of a premium?
Only you can decide
Those high end r for CBD OL, Jurong industrial OL carries mid range one.Originally Posted by august
Qns: where u buy yr Chanel Boy?
Ans: Jurong.
Qns: Wow! Cool.
What do you mean by similar location? Tampines, tanah merah ? Are these locations even of comparable attributes?Originally Posted by Mu
Yup only the buyers can decide.
What I know is that in town/cbd you can't get at 1600psf
not buying becos of general market conditions not becos of JLD conditions.
expat normally rent where they work near...Originally Posted by Regulators
in OCR, where do you think most job creation will come from? have you got any idea what businesses and who will be planting their foot in JLD? Do a search...not to argue as many would think it is unwise for 1 bedder to kick of compare to CCR but think again, if u are expat working in IBP for e.g., where would you rent, JLD or RV? If JLD, is there many condos?? See, for the past 6yrs or more, not a single launch.
Let see, many dumb ass might prove a smart ass wrong...
I don't want to wade into the fight, but does anyone know how well sold the devt is right now?
My friend went to kaypoh yest, and said the PRC in front of her bought 6 units.
Re Japanese enclaves, both RV and West Coast are popular. The ones with families, and more limited budgets, prefer the Pasir Panjang / West Coast stretch because of the schools nearby.
The ones who have a bigger budget appear to prefer RV. Some of the really popular condos in the RV stretch with the Japs are Valley Park, Aspen Heights and Rivergate. The latter 2 have golf driving range netting and gold simulator respectively, which may partly explain why. Meidi-ya at Liang Court and the endless Jap restaurants at Robertson Quay make a lot of difference too.
I get the impression that the Japs like to live amongst their own people in the same condo, so unless a lot of them move together / have already moved somewhere else, it might take time for a particular condo to become popular with the Japs.

That is the main point about renting in suburbs, you can always get something bigger, cheaper n better. For town, bigger n better usually means more expensive.Originally Posted by smallant
6 units means about $6mio blown there. Power...
Actually not that true.. Many expats working in the city or cbd lives in the east n west of sg.Originally Posted by lajia
have you missed out the why there is a hotel within 300m from the mrt? why compare dist to city? u go orchard rd everyday? what is the purpose of decentralisation? Any OCR with such magnitude of development, can name one?With hosipital, shopping malls, offices, hotel and theme pk or entainterment F&B all within 1km radius? This is not a joke!
good rental yield will be supported by limited supply (PC), job creations, & vibrant surrounding!

so far what new businesses or corporates are setting up offices in JLD? we know MND will be moving to JEM and be anchor tenant, while capitaland will occupy upcoming westgate. they are hardly the types that will bring in new expats or tenants.Originally Posted by lajia
Existing expats in IBP already have their comfy abode, why would they settle for the shoeboxes that is J gate?
If a crash really happen, interest rate goes up, MSR may be reduced further as lending tightens, do u think u still can afford a $1.5m unit?Originally Posted by yowetan
