    I believe the akitec is trying to blend in with the immediate surrounding which is quite good as it will be the odd one out. It is quite nostalgic with a courtyard which can give people a different feeling after walking into from a bustling city just 50m away. The pubs and dining immediate to EG gives a unique ambience. Anyway, different people different views. No right nor wrong.

    Fortunately property has caveat. Otherwise it seller's words against buyer's words.

    Dun always trust that. Durians have price tags but wat u pay may not be wat u get. For properties, what u see may not be wat was paid. Switched there.

    Caveats can be out of time, out of value.

    You are true if there is only one caveat lodged in a year and the last one was more than a year ago.

    Rental is going up at EG with the help of new development in D1 like One shenton and clift. Rental yield is not bad even for the 2/3 bedders at 4 to 5%.

    That is why always hold on to units in good location unless the capital gain is more than 100% and is 99LH.

    Mr Lui said that aside from the two major train disruptions recently, last year chalked up a number of transport milestones.

    These included the opening of 12 stations of the Circle Line from Caldecott to HarbourFront in October, and the opening of a new train platform at the Jurong East station in May.

    Next year, train commuters can look forward to the opening of the first phase of the Downtown Line from Bugis to Chinatown. This line will add another station to the Marina Bay area.

    'It will bring us even closer to achieving our overall goal of having an MRT station within 400m on average - or a roughly five-minute walk - for all who live or work in the city and those who travel to the area for leisure,' he said.


    Look forward to opening of Telok Ayer Station next year.

    The first six-station section of the MRT's Downtown Line (DTL) looks likely to open late next year.


    And after it does, Chinatown will have its first underground shopping mall in a 200m linkway with potentially more than 30,000 sq ft of retail space, or about half that in CityLink Mall.

    Of the six stations on the first 4.3km section, four - Chinatown, Bayfront, Promenade and Bugis - will connect to existing MRT lines. The Telok Ayer and Downtown stations will be in the heart of the old and new financial districts.


    SHOPS HERE, SOON : The structure of an underground mall link connecting Chinatown and Telok Ayer stations has been built by the Land Transport Authority under Cross Street, but it will leave the walls and floor bare for the future developer. Like the 350m CityLink Mall from City Hall MRT interchange to Marina Square mall, the 200m link will have space for shops on both sides and a central walkway for commuters. With a width of 21km shared by the shops and walkway, the potential retail space could be more than 30,000 sq ft, or about half of CityLink's. Property experts said the shops may draw tourists in Chinatown or the weekday office crowd.
