Its very likely that F1 will be shifted to a purpose built race track in few years.
It is too disrupting to hold the race on a street circuit in CBD.
So dont count on that F1 view yet. Anyway buying a property at start of a recession is really naive.

Ask yourself, do you gain from the property you buy to stay ( not invest ) over the years, if yes, than why worry about 99 or freehold, we all don't live that long.Originally Posted by 99yr waste of time
The question is not about how long you live, it is about what you own.

Which one is the best? How much?
From URA report of September 2008 sale, 68 buyers caveated their purchases.
In October 2008, an additional 2 units were sold. But the units sold now shows 56.
It can only be construed that 14 buyers backed out when faced with 2nd payment of 15% of purchase price.
Better to lose 25% of 5% deposit than sit on further losses.
Maybe this $1,838psf one is better?Originally Posted by Question

These are the low floor units, which I understand that the developer has recently adjust the pricing to sell. mainly 7th - 9th floor units facing the pool. Their views (if any) will be nothing like the showflat unit at 38th floor concourse building.Originally Posted by ozone2002
Still damn exp, the 11th floor for 2rm facing towards flyer and F1 @ mid $15xx psf + throw in free 2 plots of land in front which might have possible developments in future
what i heard from a japanese piling subcon, who was prewarned by his jap colleagues.
'go to national archives and find out where during WWII the chinese were beheaded and where the heads were displayed as a lesson to all. Then overlay that information with google earth. you'll NOT want to live in that area'
gives me the creeps man. not sure if heads are hung at the marina bay area like the way heads are hung in london by the river thames...

In that case, there are many ghosts everywhere in Singapore ... mainly died of boat/car accidents, suicide, killed by Japanese, killed by British, molested/raped or tortured to death ...Originally Posted by gfoo
Anybody knows the latest pricing psf of Concourse Skyline? Care to share?
Went to the showflat a couple of months back. Very nice panoramic view of the Kallang Sports Hub all the way to the Singapore Flyer and the Marina Sands IR. Somemore, with the Nicoll Highway MRT just in front, I thought it has great potential.
The sea-facing units on #07-#13 were priced at 11xx-13xx psf then. Anyone been there since?
Dropped by the show flat yesterday. Unit #07-xx $1200psf, #12-xx $1700. A big jump once you hit the 12 floor. Anything below all you see are the trees/leaves.

New condo to get walkway to MRT station
Beach Road private housing project could set new property trend

HOW'S this for a condominium's selling point: Near MRT station. Complete with all-weather walkway.
The new Concourse Skyline in Beach Road could be the first private housing project to have an overhead bridge linking it to Singapore's mass transit system.
Other condo projects are likely to follow, in what could be an emerging trend.
Once it is completed, residents of the 99-year lease Concourse Skyline, being built on a demolished wing of the Concourse complex, will need to walk only about 200m to the Circle Line's rebuilt (and relocated) Nicoll Highway station due to open next year.
The 360-unit condo, developed by listed property group Hong Fok at an estimated $200 million, is expected to be ready by 2013.
Concourse Skyline's unique addition arose from rather unusual circumstances. The original Nicoll Highway station, which was much nearer to the Concourse, would have had an underground link to the former Concourse wing. But when the uncompleted station collapsed, killing four workers in a 2004 construction accident, plans for the underground link were scrapped.
A dispute then ensued between the Land Transport Authority and Hong Fok. Neither party would comment on this, but The Straits Times understands it partly involved the condo developer wanting direct access to the new station. The issue was settled last year, resulting in the overhead residential link.
Why not an underground connection?
'The new Concourse development is no longer a commercial space, and the new MRT station is much farther away,' explained Hong Fok director S.E. Cheong.
The project will be carried out in three stages, the first being the overhead bridge spanning Nicoll Highway. It was completed recently.
Construction of the second stage that links the overhead bridge to the MRT station, complete with lifts and escalators, is under way.
Once the Concourse Skyway nears completion, the final segment joining the condo to the bridge will be built by Hong Fok. Access to this segment will be through a secured doorway, passable only to residents.
Hong Fok had already included the linkway in publicity materials for the condo. The project was launched last year just as the impact of the world financial crisis hit Singapore. Units were then priced at between $1,500 and $1,800 per sq ft. Mr Cheong said yesterday 140 units have been sold.
City Developments' massive $2.5 billion South Beach project - also in Beach Road and targeted to be up by 2016 - will also have mass transit links. A spokesman said the 3.5ha commercial-and-residential project will have underground links to both Circle Line and Downtown Line stations, as well as to CityLink Mall that connects to the City Hall station and Raffles City Shopping Centre.
