We local can only drool...change the name to saliva sea eh?
Anyway nowadays even the foreigners are also not so stupid liao, once bitten twice shy. FEO still in la la land. By the time they wake up the 99 Yrs lease is up already.
Do you know that Water Place is actually strategically located at the fringe of all the below stated happening areas!
1. Marina Bay Sand Integrated Resort
Avant-garde in its architectural design, the Marina Bay Sands will be the hot seats for business and leisure. Its sprawling exhibition and meeting space is complemented by world-class entertainment in two theatres, an ArtScience museum, luxury retail outlets, unique venues such as floating pavilions and Singapore's first ever casino.
2. Marina Bay Financial Centre
Offices with state of the art features, stylish retail outlets and luxurious residential units overlooking Marina Bay - this is the new Business and Financial Centre. The Central Business District will also add strategic finess to this development.
3. (Collyer Quay) Clifford Pier
This historic part of the waterfront will be transformed into a vibrant activity hub. Expect modern charm with an array of retail and F&B outlets, chic hotels and exciting recreational faciliites.
4. Gardens By the Bay
Three magnificent waterfront gardens will serve as green lungs for those who will live, work and play here. All conveniently connected by bridges, walkways and promenades, you can renjoy a leisurely walk or jog around the Bay any time of the day.
5. Singapore Flyer
At a towering 178m height, let your breath be taken away by the panoramic cityscape afforded by this impressive structure. Closer to ground, a two-storey bustling hub holds court. A shopping mall, a central atrium with lush Asian rainforest, vibrant retail and entertainment facilities and a snazzy alfresco waterfront dining premenade. there'ss something for everyone.
6.Marina Barrage
Marina Barrage will turn Marina Bay into a reservoir , providing drinking watere and a stable water level for various water acitivities and events. A 12-storey fountain, Singapore tallest by far, will also be built
FEO is now banging on marina bay since the sports hub development has been stalled indefinitely? Stop trying to con people with attractions that you are nowhere near to, Mbay Sands is within 1km only if you can fly.
Until a through road is built from the tanjong rhu area to the marina bay area (this is not going to happen at least not on the URA masterplan 2008), waterplace residents have to contend with:
- 1.5km of congested tanjong rhu/fort road during peak hours
- 2km of congested ecp - fort road to rochor entrance to marina bay / sands
If you're walking or cycling to the Flyer / Sands / main Phase I Gardens at Marina South, it's a 2 km walk across a yet unnamed and unannounced bridge through the Phase II Gardens to the Flyer, and another 1km to the ArtScience museum next to the Sands. Phase I is scheduled for end 2010 completion. It's anyone's guess when Phase II Gardens by Marina East will be completed. Already, tenders for Phase III Gardens by Marina Centre has been 'scrapped' and it'll become just an ordinary park connector.
The only alternative for park cycling enthusiasts for the next year or two (unless Gardens by M East development is announced), is to cycle all the way down east coast park to the other end of the barrage, cross the barrier, and cycle up from marina south.
Yes he is the richest man in Singapore. He will tell you, don't like the price or the unit, don't buy. So I didn't buy. But he is still the richest man in Singapore. And I am nowhere near rich. So cannot fight with him lah. Lan-lan have to buy other cheapo one lor.

If a through road has been built from the tanjong rhu area to the marina bay area, the price will not at 8xx psf, but at your "The Sail" price liao...
So given such low psf and beautiful surrounding, what else do you want?
no issues with that area - it's an excellent locality. just dun like agents that adlib untruths. if FEO can release it at $800-$850psf, it's worth it. but i think this guy is asking much higherOriginally Posted by East Lover
agreed. resale is already that low liao, FEO still dear dear to sell above 1000 psf. just hope to cheat some rich foreigner...Originally Posted by gfoo
cant blame him, if he is working for FEO then his hands r tied also, is simply FEO trying their luck ~Originally Posted by gfoo

2. HONG KONG JOBS MARKET - Curbing retail and property
Hong Kong’s unemployment rate continued to rise in March to 5.2% from 5% in February. The unemployment rate has risen by 2ppt from the August 2008 trough. We forecast a further 2.9ppt rise in this downswing to an eventual peak at 8.1% in March 2010. The unemployment rise will slightly exceed the 4.6ppt increase in the 2001 downturn prolonged by Sars
The labour force increased by 0.9% YoY in 1Q09 while employment contracted by 0.7%. The number of unemployed persons was up by 50% YoY. This reinforces the negative outlook for the retail sector (March retail sales data are due on 4 May). Rising unemployment also argues against an upturn in the property sector.
However, should we not expect Beijing’s supportive policy measures on the mainland to underpin sentiment in Hong Kong? Yes, but only up to a point. Aggressive monetary expansion in China has likely boosted flows into Hong Kong contributing to the rapid expansion in money supply growth in the first two months of the year. Notably though, credit was still contracting on a QoQ annualised basis in February.
Hong Kong’s revenues are largely generated by manufacturing activity and related services in the Pearl River Delta. Here, the outlook depends on recovery in end user demand in the US and EU which we do not anticipate until 2H10.
Stepped up public spending in China will not halt the cyclical downturn in Hong Kong and unemployment will continue to rise. For retailers struggling to maintain sales, there will have to be aggressive price discounting and for developers hoping to spur transactions, property prices will have to continue falling.
The think the "worst" refers to many projects getting TOPs from 3Q which are on the DPS. Many such owners will be forced to "get rid" at losses to avoid applying for loans. This will put downward pressure on the property market.Originally Posted by East Lover

Marina Bay sucks in $22b of investments
Apr 22, 2009 - The Business Times
Emilyn Yap
(SINGAPORE) Marina Bay has attracted investments of more than $22 billion and while the area still has sites for development, the government has no plans to sell them at the moment.
'We are in no hurry to release these sites,' said National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan yesterday. He was speaking to the media after a tour of several projects taking shape along Marina Bay, such as the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort, the double helix bridge and the Fullerton heritage area.
According to Mr Mah, some investors are looking at specific sites and have approached the government, but 'we will pause for a while', he said. Of the 360 ha of land set aside for Marina Bay's development, around 24 ha have been sold, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said.
The agency has not put up any more sites at Marina Bay for sale through the Government Land Sales Programme. The timing and number of sites to be released 'will depend on the economic conditions and market demand and subject to more detailed planning later on,' URA added.
For now, 'the timing is not right,' Mr Mah explained. 'We also want to be sure that the infrastructure is in place and the other developments are up. Then we'll see what else we want to have that will add to the attractiveness of the bay.'
Of the more than $22 billion pumped into Marina Bay's development, close to $5.7 billion was the government's investment in infrastructure. Another $16.5 billion came from private investors both in Singapore and abroad.
The US$4.5 billion Marina Bay Sands integrated resort is one of the most significant projects in the area. In 2006, the consortium behind the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) also said that they would spend $2 billion on the first phase of the development.
Over the next 10 to 15 years, the government will continue to pump more than $1 billion into infrastructural works to support Marina Bay's growth and to enhance connectivity within the city.
'What we have seen today shows that the progress of Marina Bay is very much on schedule and on track,' Mr Mah noted.
One important project is the construction of the double helix bridge, which will allow pedestrians to cross from Marina Centre to the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort in just three to four minutes when it is completed at the end of the year. The bridge, together with an adjacent vehicular bridge and the nearby art park, cost $82.9 million.
The double helix bridge will be part of a 3.5 km long waterfront loop linking key developments along Marina Bay, such as the upcoming MBFC and 50 Collyer Quay. 'In one or two years' time, this bay will be alive with people and activities,' Mr Mah said.
Analysis point:
With the strong ongoing effort by the government to push Marina Bay, this fortells that the land outskirt of the zoning near the Marina Bay development would be a strong indication for high increase in land value in estimated 3 to 5 years time. With the impact of government's effort to re-inforce Singapore's land, this spells good investment and exploiting multiple opportunites presented, expatriates from overseas would love to stay near the vincity where vibrancy and prosperous events are ongoing for them to enjoy and at the same time convenience for them to travel within a short notice to the future "happening spot in Marina Bay".
Water Place well located at the fringe of Marina Bay presents a good investment chance not only in terms of expatriates stay, but also a high yielding rental factor with the government's strong emphasis's effort.
At the peak of the economical market force, it also represents a good opportunity spot sell for the owners to entry in the right time and exit with a good profit margin on hand. This is one crucial point investors should not missed out the golden chance in a lifetime for WaterPlace.
With only exclusive 3 units left, it would be a great missed opportunity,if investors are still pondering on the point that prices can actually still wait...while ongoing forces by the government are growing everyday, not to mention other strong vested opportunists are seeking to dive in to purchase...
