Double Bay Residences, Simei St4 (D18, 99LH, 646units, UOL/Kheng Leong)

**propertychap** · 05-08-10, 16:31

In all the discussion about the potential of DB Residences, I would think another area worth looking at is Kembangan area. There are a few developments very near the MRT and freehold. The area is also a quiet area though there are a couple of mosques around. Most properties there are freehold.
Anyone has any views on the Kembangan area?

very mly kampong similar to eunos...dun have much chinese eateries around.

but gd thing is: FH and near MRT and decent rental yield...however mostly boutique apts

Kembangan one stop away from Bedok. And with the land beside Bedok interchange earmarked for a condominium development, perhaps this place may see some life and interest. Perhaps some with enbloc potential as well. Usually developers like FH and near MRT and old buildings

**propertychap** · 05-08-10, 16:54

In terms of rental yield, Geylang area much better. Of course choose those higher number Lorongs like 26 and above to avoid the messy area and those parts closer to the Guillemard end.

But Kembangan is a more classy area I guess compared to Geylang

Leasehold new launch DBR or FH kembangan which would you choose?

none...in fact simei also abit mly kampongish....but will consider if got FH big scale project near kembangan mrt...but impossible..lol

cannot compare FH boutique prices with 99LH new projects with full condo facilities

There is a big project of 473 units at Kembangan area. Keep a lookout for that. I have a feeling that will be a boost to the prices in the area. Heard it is from a reputable developer.

Is this the one?

Yes this is the one. I am quite keen to explore further to get a unit but something that bugs me is that it is not exactly that near to the MRT. How long would one need to walk to the MRT station?

Personally I like Kembangan area as it is a relatively quiet place with most properties there being freehold.

Any comments?

**propertychap** · 05-08-10, 17:22

Anyone has indicative pricing?

**kane** · 05-08-10, 17:52

10mins walk is probably 800m in distance.

**devilplate** · 05-08-10, 18:12

dun be fooled when they say near to MRT....go down and test urself...super tiring as it is hilly....but very good exercise....

i was once so naive and got cheated into buying a ppty tat supposedly walkable to novena MRT...physical distance on the map around 800m...took me around 15mins and very very sweaty.

if i am not wrong, hoi hup is the developer...drove along PIE can see their banner.

I will definitely sell if it is 1000 psf. Then I can go buy another new one.

wait till the new launch next to the mrt, it will definitely push up the prices more...

That won't be fun if it is raining. Anyway, 800m is 2 rounds the stadium.

got a personal question for tanumy, did you buy a block of units in DB and hence, the overtly biased interest?

You seem very anti-DBR, why? Isn't it a property like any other property and as buyers/ investors we are driven to potentials for profits. Is it not?
In your opinion, which property is worth looking at now?

You are really sensitive. No I did not get the joke and not interested to pick any fight.

There will always be people who will buy. What about Tropical Spring, Modena and the future Simei St 3 development?
