So is Pasir Ris, Sembawang, Pasir Panjang better? Maybe should sell off my River Valley... Which area is better then where it is less congested, relatively near town n the beach, with amenities nearby?

unless your work place is near there ... i wouldnt consider pasir ris / sembawang ... a bit far ..

Pasir panjang is very near town ..not many realsise ..
though its getting crowded now ..but hey its got 4-5 storey height restrictions .. so .. in time to come .. it will have its chance to build 10-20 storey .. who knows .. so of the 4 places you mentioned .. my pick is PP ..go for the older projects ..

One thing for sure about far east projects - things fall apart a few months after TOP. Just pay a visit to the Icon and see what a wonderful state the facilities are.

$1300psf for view of marine parade road and amber circle congestion. Try driving home during peak hour or weekends. Heck, try driving to work during mornings. it's like coming out from your condo driveway and maneuvering into newton circus.

come to think of it, i hope the gahmen widens the roads or something, otherwise once the majority of D15 and telok kurau condos start to TOP, traffic will be chialat. There are technically only 2 main arteries into the OA, TSV, SS, SB area from town ECP-Tg Rhu/Nicoll/PIE-StillRd served by East Coast Road, and ECP-MP/PIE-StillRd served by Marine Parade Road

Actually I dont know why u take the longer route From city to Amber: ECP exit Tanjong Katong Road. From PIE to KPE exit Mountbatten Road. From Suntec go Nicoll Highway then Mountbatten rd.

From Amber to City: Just drive onto Tanjong Katong Flyover onto ECP. Alternative Mountbatten rd to Nicoll or KPE into PIE.

HEY LOWLIFE ARSEHOLE KT LIM (the kind of respect you deserve), I did not offend you so why bring in my name? I think you deserve to get fuucked just like the way franzmark did to orange, so mind ur own fuucking business.

AND BTW dear forumers, the above language is specially structured for people the likes of orange and KT Lim so you may treat that as a private message to these two arseholes.....

I think most of the pple on this forum-except for ur gay partner 'regulators' would say u deserved the ticking off. loud mouth bastard! pui!

Haha Correct me if i am wrong, my guess is u r staying somewhere near PP Well PP dont give me a Lifestyle kinda feel like the East Coast do. Not many good FH projects to choose from too. And the recent launches IMHO is overpriced. Over $1k psf in PP might as well stay East Coast with walking distance to the beach n amenities close by, relatively near town, IR.

Or do u happen to know some worthwhile FH to consider in Dist 5?

Well it's a hope that plot ratio may be increased but i doubt it will be soon. Maybe 10-20yrs? For that time frame, i rather place my $ elsewhere, where that probability is higher.

Despite the encouraging sales, Far East said there are no immediate plans to release the remaining apartments on the 24th to 36th floors

However, it will launch another property, Silversea, this weekend.

Silversea is located at Amber Road, one of the last available plots in East Coast.

It is a few minutes' drive from New Downtown at Marina Bay and Changi Airport.

The 21-storey high development promises a good view of the central business district and the South China Sea.

The 383-unit development will offer two-bedroom units and four-bedroom penthouse units ranging from 968 square feet to 4962 square feet, with prices starting from S$1,300 per square foot.

Correct me if i am wrong, i notice that all the projects mentioned are either quite old (may have more maintenance problem) or smallish devt (high maintenace fee n or inadequate facilities and too many of such around even in prime areas) or relatively big size units (attract only niche buyers/ tenant so may have a liquidity problem when need to sell/ lease out). I think i shall pass, near MRT or not. Tks

According to Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, a preview of Silversea on Amber Road held by the Far East Organisation last weekend drew a tepid response. Merrill attributed the less than 20% sold of the launched units to pricing. At $1,300 psf without a sea view, and $1,600 psf with a sea view, buyers just weren’t interested. Merrill’s report also states that CapitaLand re-launched its 127-unit Latitude project in River Valley on Thursday. “Prices ranged between $1,600-1,900psf and by Sunday afternoon, less than 20 units have been sold,” the report stated.
