Agreed. The location being so near to the city is like a goldmine considering most young couples could only afford to buy their first homes in suburban areas like Sengkang, Punggol, Yishun, Sembawang etc. MRT to Suntec and Marina Bay is just 3-4 stops away!! DR buyers are lucky I would say but just be careful not to overpay for this project (or any project) considering the economy might head south next year.

Pls lah... Spore going into technical recession at Q4, I will wait for D9,10,11 to reach $800psf then i start to buy, Crap Dakota only worth $400psf. Same price as geylang.

Today AMK Design and Build HDB flat launch at 500 psf... high floors... likely 550 psf range. What will happen to it, if S'pore goes into technical recession?

If D9,D10, D11 at 800 psf... think HDB only 100 psf or cheaper. Asset rich S'poreans will really suffer. Govt will not let it happen.

1300-1400psf is very hard to achieve in this Geylang, unless the China men gamblers gamble very big and overnight make a lot of money. The main worry of Dakota is how to clean itself from the dirty image? If you go to Paya Lebar MRT toilet, you'll notice it's the dirtiest toilets ever with the China mei mei all doing their make up there and squatting on the toilet bowl. These China mei mei will most definitely move wholesale to Dakota station and the vicinity when the station is ready since the station is much nearer to Geylang. Imagine your wife or daugter alight at this station. The first thing that comes to people's mind is they are prostitutes. The dirty old men will also loiter there. The environment is just too complicated - not good for a home. Investment wise, the China mei mei and gamblers might give good rental but may disappear overnight if they lose money at casino. The whole Geylang area has already become a mini-China with so many Chinese steamboats around. It would be worse with the IR.

And from what I know, this place got very few parking lots - 1 lot per unit. This is one of those things that will piss off the rich people with many cars. It's meant to attract people WITHOUT cars.

The MRT close to Geylang is Aljunied or Paya Lebar. Won't be DR station or mountatten

[Sin City]

It is nearer to some lorongs - Look at the map - within walking distance to Geylang. Activities are rampant in almost all lorongs now. Dakota is the strategic gateway to both Geylang and Joo Chiat. Very strategic indeed - the most strategic spot for "sin city".

You are so right. Dakota is definitely within striking distance of humping the china mei mei. 5 minutes tops.

[China mei mei]

Don't you cheeky ah peks have anything better to do rather than just hanging around Dakota all day?

[Geylang OKT]

Hello China mei mei! You better get more customers from Dakota or else I beat you up ahhh....

[Geylang Agent]

Both of you jokers pipe down! I need to move these units at the showflat so please keep out of sight!

I beg to differ. Think prices across S'pore will rise after Q3/4. Building cost are up... no way... prices can come down. Unless developers are prepared to make losses. However, high end condo prices might see a correction as the price gap between high end and mid tier is too great

[China mei mei]

I just open for business. 1st dakota buyer who is my customer tonight gets 50% discount. Quick! quick!

[underhandedagent]

To you agent, please do not create any more new username just to bash this project in the hope to divert potential buyers! Your $$ motive is clear to all! Please leave this thread alone, your arguement is cheap! 210 units sold ! way to go!

[underhandedagent]

just tell me which condo launch you are representing, i will get my rich friends to do a bulk purchase to satisfy your desperate $$$ appetiite and you dont have to resort to such cheap trick like china mei mei

[Passerby]

Wow... dakota agents begging for mercy.

Don't get angry. If your project is really good, nobody can talk it down. Similarly, if the project is crap and full of china mei mei, paying for many full page advertisements also cannot make it. Better for the developer to help the suckers by giving cash discounts instead of splurging so much on adverts.

Haha, the technical recession on Q4 will make this agent jobless, i guess that is why he/she is so defensive.

[Geylang OKT]

Has my china mei mei been running to the showroom again? Quickly tell them to cum back across the road. Tonighy many customers queuing.

[AgentKhoo]

Everyone wants to talk down this project.

But sales remain strong.

Makes sense. But I don't like facing the muddy river. Dunno whether got smell or not. Lousy feng shui. Also no tennis court and too near the red light area for my family's comfort. My wife and children will be totally distressed by the colorful nightlife surroundings, although I myself don't mind at all.

Hello there! Don't work so hard at your showroom when there is nobody there at all! Come and visit me... I am just across the road.

Usually when these agents lose their cool, it can only mean one thing... that sales are not good.
