    kannin nah last saturday one joker advertised to sell a 645sf #34 sail at 645k (1kpsf) which i thought was impossible. I think the idiot just want to test the market and solicit response and tell the potential buyer it is a typo error and ask for the sky. not sure if anyone called up this joker....

    I wouldn't deal with this type of agent.. need to resort to tricks like these to entice people.. so you can be sure he got more tricks up his sleeves to fleece you.

    a lot of agents still think buyers nowadays are stupid cannot see thru their tricks.. some will tell you got offer above $x price.. some say already got cheque ..blah blah blah..

    I always tell them.. oh like that ah.. i think about it.. they also lan lan..ha..

    Wait till you all see this agent (SP specialist). He said that TID bought the land for 400+ psf but later change to 282psf after being pointed out. Go Optima to see for yourself. Knn. No integrity.

    that is why i said 0.01% chance of getting the unit. I think some owners just want to throw out bogus ads to test market and waste people's time. I think agents that throw out ads are genuine in wanting to sell, but if they throw ads to farm, i will just blast them over the phone for wasting my time....

    True waht the hantus.

    SC hard to gauge potential - u shd rent a villa stay there a week. It's like those post holocaust movies like silent hill. Wonderful landscaping, sweet expensive landed and condos - but feels like a ghost town and very very alone.

    And they can widen the bridge as much as they want - traffic will always be a problem esp at the vivo/bridge junction

    Over S$27.5b invested in Marina Bay from private and public sector

    Channel NewsAsia - Thursday, July 30

    SINGAPORE: More than S$27.5 billion has been invested so far in the new business and financial district in Marina Bay and the government is planning to pump in a further S$1 billion in infrastructure works there over the next 10 to 15 years.


    Singapore’s National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan announced this at the topping out ceremony for the construction of the Marina Bay Financial Centre on Wednesday morning.


    He also said there are some signs of speculation in the recent frenzy in the property market.


    The government announced in April that Marina Bay had attracted total investments of over S$22 billion of which S$5.7 billion was from the government, and S$16.5 billion was from the private sector.


    And just three months later, that figure, which includes government and private sector investments, has risen to over S$27.5 billion.


    The Urban Redevelopment Authority said the increase of S$1.8 billion in government investment is largely due to higher construction costs for the Marina Coastal Expressway.


    It said more funds are also being pumped in by various developers for their projects which has seen private investments grow by over S$3.5 billion.
    The new financial district is expected to generate quality office space to rival those in Tokyo, New York and London.


    And the manager of the Marina Bay Financial Centre said more companies have been expressing interest in leasing office space in the area despite the recession.


    Wilson Kwong, general manager, Raffles Quay Asset Management, said: “At the moment, phases 1 and 2, for the office section, it is 61 per cent pre—committed.


    “Anchor tenants at the Marina Bay Financial Centre include Standard Chartered Bank, which is taking up 500,000 square feet, and DBS, which is taking up 700, 000 square feet. All in all, the Marina Bay Financial Centre will offer nearly 3 million square feet of office space.”


    Speaking to reporters at the topping out ceremony for the centre, Singapore’s National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan also commented on the recent property market frenzy.


    He said it’s unclear what is driving the demand.

    wah! whatever happened to your immigration plans? I thought you were so outrageous and damned set to sell away your sail with the ridiculous run up in prices esp with the 'cemetery land'. And now, ur singing the praises of sail, with its multitude of advantages. err.. how credible ru? or u also 'changing' strategy like temasek?

    lol as credible as ho ching lol.

    nzd and prices there spiked up quite high. so even if i exit now, aint no nothing to buy. for now, gonna stay till at least the whole area is built. maybe i'll change my mind again, maybe not.

    runup too fast and furious that the sg-nz spread disappeared - i was too damn slow. opinion of cemetary land still holds though, but that's juz me.

    Newbie here and enjoy reading the posts.

    Yes there are people here who thinks The Sail sucks whether it is the location, the developer, the furnishings or the price. All true, according to one's poison, and maybe some sour grapes.

    But honestly, I can't deny the fact that the area and the view are pretty fantastic. I personally do not like living in Shenton Way. But I do like the fact that it is near Esplanade, Suntec, Boat Quay, etc - very lifestyle (for me lah). The view...I liken it to staying in an apt overseeing the Sydney Harbour (esplanade...can fight lah) or Statue of Liberty (ok merlion is a joke compared to this but you get my point). Or course I know we are not these icons and the murky sea water here is not much to rave about, but where else in Singapore you get such a splendid view, with a mix of seaview and nice city view and the greenery following soon? IR is like like an icing on the cake, with or without it, Sail is still a pretty cool place to live in. Everytime I am on the expressway passing by IR looking across to The Sail, I would always imagine the view these owners have, with much envy of course.

    If I can afford it, who cares whether i like living in Shenton Way or not. The view can make me (or my guests) steam liao. If i can't afford it, I can only be happy for those who bought it at a good price, kick myself for not having enough $, and look somewhere else that makes me happy. For those who paid a high price, if you are happy with your purchase, then nothing else matters, even if tomorrow UOB Towers kenna 9/11.

    Any price you pay for The Sail, can't be as goon as those who paid $1200 for Centro. At least you can say I pay for priceless view, well developed area and prime district. Even no $ to pay instalment I jumped down from my apt commit suicide also can do it in style and land in the sea. If I jumped down from Centro, I get hit by the train if I hit the tracks or splat on some pavement with aunties screaming.

    Congrats to those who bought The Sail. Like the saying goes, you either love it or hate it but you can't ignore it.

    You may want to consider working as a domestic helper for one of the sail owners or apply for a job with security. In that way you can enjoy the place without necessarily being an owner.

    i dont hate the sail, i just think 2000 to 3000psf is overly-priced for the project. let me tell you, i wouldnt buy it even if it dropped to 1500psf coz not everybody likes the project. I like condos with greenery and exclusivity, not the sea, bay and lots of shopping around...

Just wondering why you are following this thread so regularly if you hate The Sail so much. Got many other threads here you know.
