The road will meet the part where the playground is and turn right (looking from the direction of SG). From stack 27 onwards, that is where the MSCP is, if I am not wrong.Originally Posted by jinxminx99
how does stack 27 and 28 face carpark? I believe stack 27 and 28 face the HDB, and stack 30 faces the waterfall / concealed carpark.

Look at attached diagram.
Block 19C (stack 31/32) is the block that directly facing the MSCP of Simei Green, which has a water tank at the height of DBR's 7th floor, the tennis court of SG is about DBR's 6th floor height. Block 19B (stack 27/28) are tilted towards the north pointing at the HDB block 222 but stack 28 can still see the MSCP on the right. Other stacks that can see the MSCP include stack 35/36 directly facing the East (morning sun throughout the year) and stack 40/1/2 which is further away.
In terms of pricing, stack 31/32/27/28 (~650psf) are about 50psf cheaper relative to say stack 40/1/2 (~700psf)

that was very informative. I guess the best stacks (among the 3 bedders) in the development are 25 / 26. Good view, NS orientation...

Why? If my area is not flood prone, I would rather not have a MSCP.After reading about the underground carpark flooding in Bukit Timah, sure glad DBR is multi-storey.
BTW don't flame me, but I never thought having an MSCP in condos was a big deal until I joined the forums here
Global recession is coming....
When no MSCP existed in private condos (only for HDBs), underground carpark is no big deal. But after MSCP appears in private condos, underground carparks become big deal (but must be those that won't get flooded one). I still can't accept MSCP and their associated disadvantages other than no flooding (and as a matter of fact, so many condos along BT but only Tessarina's underground car park got flooded).

don't know what you mean by super demanding... the reason why MSCP was raised up is because some pple slam MSCP until very jialat, that's why basement cp flooding is mentioned.Why? If my area is not flood prone, I would rather not have a MSCP.

Yes that is what is I meant by super demanding, not you, but the ppl who slam the MSCP, which I feel is no big deal.

Ascendas/FCL has started groundwork on the parcel of land in Changi Biz Park next to Expo MRT.
============================
A JOINT venture between Ascendas Land (Singapore) and Frasers Centrepoint has won a tender for a development in Changi Business Park including shops and a hotel, the second such project in Singapore.
The joint venture - known as Ascendas Frasers - had put in a bid of $115.8 million for the 4.7ha site, next to the Singapore Expo and Expo MRT station. That is $119 per sq ft of gross floor area.
Sixty per cent of the total gross floor area of 1.26 million sq ft will be set aside for business park space.
The rest will comprise ‘white’ or commercial activities - which will be for shops and a hotel projected to have about 300 rooms.
The retail and hotel components are expected to capitalise on demand generated from Changi Business Park, Singapore Expo, the upcoming university in Changi as well as nearby estates, said Frasers Centrepoint chief executive Lim Ee Seng.

Asia Benefits From Dubai Turmoil
Stocks rise as emerging markets money flows to Asia
Vivian Wai-yin Kwok

Asian stocks rebounded by about 3% on Monday morning as investors brushed off fears of contagion from the Dubai debt crisis.
Analysts said that Asian banks' exposure to Dubai was minimal and that the financial turbulence in the Middle East may even trigger an inflow of funds to Asia from emerging markets elsewhere.
Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 2.9% to 9,345.55 Monday, while the broader Topix Index gained 3.6% to 839.94. Investors re-embraced exporters after their fears abated over Dubai's debt problem and its impact on market confidence, and after the yen descended from its 14-year high against the dollar last week to trade around 86.26 yen to the dollar late Monday afternoon.
Among Japanese exporters, Toyota Motor shot up 4.24%, to ¥3,440 (US$39.88), while Toshiba Corp soared even more, by 6.75%, to ¥458 (US$5.31).
After having toppled by about 7% last Friday, banking stocks in Hong Kong were back on the rise. HSBC rose 4.3% to close at HK$90.70 (US$11.63). Standard Chartered advanced 4.2% to HK$193.20 (US$24.77).
Investor sentiment improved after the central bank of United Arab Emirates (UAE) promised over the weekend that it would back up banks in the region after Dubai World, a state-owned investment company, unveiled last week that it needed a 6-month moratorium on a US$3.5 billion debt repayment coming due.
UAE is the federation of 7 emirates, the best-known of which are Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in the Persian Gulf. Abu Dhabi, Dubai's long-term competitor in the UAE, also said it would provide a liquidity scheme for both foreign and local banks which had been expecting repayments to help them solve short-term liquidity problems.
Dubai World is an investment arm of Dubai's government which manages a wide range of businesses and has extensive real estate investments in the UAE, the United States, England as well as South Africa. The Dubai government shocked global stock markets last week after it said Dubai World intended to ask its creditors to 'standstill' and extend debt maturities to the end of May.
Dubai World's surprise extended repayment request posed concerns that HSBC and Standard Chartered might lose money on loans to projects in Dubai and elsewhere in the UAE, where the two lenders have long had business ties.
Yet market analysts are optimistic that the Dubai turmoil will not blow into Asia. In a research note titled "Time To Go With Strength," BOA Merrill Lynch upgraded HSBC to 'buy' on Monday, saying, "With less than 2% of loans in UAE, HSBC is well placed to deal with the potential fallout from recent developments in Dubai."
HSBC disclosed in August that its loan exposure to the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, was down to US$15.9 billion, from US$17.5 billion at the end of 2008. Meanwhile, information from Emirates Banks Association showed that the loan exposure of Standard Chartered to the UAE was about US$7.7 billion.
In South Korea, Vice-Finance Minister Hur Kyung-wook pledged this morning that the government was prepared to take pre-emptive measures after an emergency meeting with senior officials from the government and the central bank.
The Kospi stock benchmark closed up 2.04% at 1,555.60. The Kospi rebound was a huge relief to equities and currency investors because South Korean markets have been especially sensitive to external financial instability as a result of the country's highly leveraged banking system.
In a research report released Monday, Citi said there had been an inflow of $975 million in new money sent into offshore Asian funds in the week ended Nov 25, the day when Dubai World announced its financial problems. The sudden surge of inflows to Asian funds beat global and global emerging markets funds for the first time in 7 weeks. "The Dubai World impact could lead to flows out of funds with EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) exposures. Asian funds are likely to benefit," Elaine Chu and Markus Rosgen, strategists of Citi, said in the report.
Analysts from Macquarie said the Dubai repayment extension only struck them as a temporary (and tradable) blip and indeed simply may have been used as an opportune excuse for profit-taking as the year-end looms. "Not only did directly impacted institutions such as European banks take developments relatively in stride Friday, but our assessment of East Asia's own exposure through key sectors such as banks, construction and real estate suggests minimal cause for concern," Macquarie said in a research report.
As the Dubai crisis may only be "sandstorm in a tea cup", Macquarie only expected to see small balance-sheet hits among Asian banks. "Asia's bank sector was beginning to look close to fully valued prior to the Dubai news, so this latest pullback provides an opportunity to get back into some of the better growth prospects, namely large China banks and Standard Chartered," the brokerage added.

By the way, what happened to the Forbes logo?

Not sold out yet? What are the prospective buyers waiting for?
not the best choice in price n also have to wait till 2012
too much choice already also in Simei and else where
Newbie
Where else? Only know there is another GLS 99yr site coming up in 2010 next to the school.
Newbie
Yeah, you hit it men. GLS next year is the reason for the slow down. People now look see look see if they can get better buy.
Newbie
For what you know, the next one coming up in Simei can be lot more expensive than DBR. Like Optima pulling up prices of Casa Merah. Matter of timing.....
"Property consultants also singled out the site at Simei Street 3 and the one at the junction of Upper Serangoon Road and Pheng Geck Avenue as choice ones because of their proximity to the Simei and Potong Pasir MRT stations respectively."
Senior
probably the new development will be "cheaper" in absolute quantum but higher in psf. all the units probably shrink like siao.

hahahha i totally agree with you
Tanumy sounded so desperate to get people to buy DBR ...he/she posted it in almost every thread ..whether or not it has any relation to DBR or that district ...
sometimes, push to hard , may have reverse effect ...
Newbie

Senior

Newbie
Ha Ha between the two at MRT sites, of course Upper Serangoon/Pheng Geck Ave win. Near to city (City-fringe) can see Marina Bay Sand /Sail win the day no need to say. Some more Opposition ward - sure can vote wan ! the best
