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.Originally Posted by devilplate
its like durians.. either u like it or u dont... if u like it... wow, very nice... if u dun.. like shit...
but some durians very expansive and there are people who will appreciate it. That is all I can say.
It was transformed from a cheap to D24 durian which is appreciated by some group of people.Originally Posted by kingkong1984
If they upgrade the entrance properly then sure nice....
50 cents durian sell u as d24 also have... Hahaha....Originally Posted by DC33_2008
Fortunately property has caveat. Otherwise it seller's words against buyer's words.Originally Posted by kingkong1984
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.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
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.Originally Posted by kingkong1984
as long as there are humans.. anything is posible, just legal or not.
Inflated for gain
Deflated for gain
U understand? Maybe u are not so complex in ur thinking.
Another caveat has been lodged in June. Anyone knows the stack and size?

Only possible to hit 5% yield based on 5k rental n 1.2mio purchased px.....Originally Posted by devilplate
Got 2bdr selling 1.2mil, i will grab
I meant existing owner not recent buyer. $psf and rental will move up when telok ayer mrt stn is in operation middle of next year. It is really close by.Originally Posted by devilplate
Now it make senseOriginally Posted by DC33_2008
Existing owner bot below 1200psf shd be able to get 5%yield
Sb still da best, can hit 9-10% yield for 1st owner
Icon 1st owner enjoy double digit yield
That is why always hold on to units in good location unless the capital gain is more than 100% and is 99LH.Originally Posted by devilplate
Yes....i totally agreeOriginally Posted by DC33_2008
Jus nid to clear some toxic ppty away n keep the gems

Another 2 more caveats lodged in June. To date, there are four units.
What are stacks and $psf for the most recent two units?
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.
By Goh Chin Lian
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. -- CAN RAISE RENT AGAIN THEN!! !
