The stakes involved in such gambles are really huge. Its not like stepping into IR and lose $2k. Bank interest alone can rob you of $200k potentially, depending on your loan amount!

Condo and HDB support one another for mass market.
Different for luxury market.
U cannot have condo's without HDBS...
U cannot have HDBs without condo...
Its like apple and orange.. fruit punch!
Senior
Hahaha.... if condo without HDB then there'll be a big rental market.And OCR condo will come with $500 psf price tag for today's market...
only option mah! OCR become HDB, RCR become OCR and CCR split further into RCR and prime prime luxury!

Hmmm, how come the other eastern region MRT line thread so much mroe active than this one ah? Isn't this Thomson line going to be finised 2 years earlier in 2018?
Junior
Nothing much to discuss. Waiting for station locations to be announced (*waves to brother/sister mantrix). Much of the speculating has been done on skyscrapercity.com forum.

*waves back*
i expect the news to be released in this year - meeting my friend soon who can tell me more
Newbie
So do you guys know roughly where the Sin Ming station is likely to be? Or that's still unsure right now? Personal interest.
Senior
Here is my guess:
1) Republic poly
2) Woodlands MRT
3) Somewhere near Sports school/innova JC
4)Then follow SLE underground, might have shell station there
5)cut under nee soon camp, station around springleaf estate
6) follow down the forested area cut across SLE another stop at Tagore industrial estate
7)again the forested area to reach YCK road, follow AMK ave 5, a stop at the temp campus of chij st nicholas
8) follow amk ave 4 down the hill to a stop opposite mayflower sec school.
9) cross bishan park, one stop at bishan park sec school opposite 402
10) another stop at thomson plaza
11) interchange station with marymount circle line
12) may parallel the circle line to join caldecott station
13) branch out to have a station at the heavy vehicle carpark opposite cube 8.
Then dunno liao haa haa....
Junior
pls don't put a station at thomson plaza...maintain as it is
Senior
higher density in the east so more stakes involved. area north of balestier is probably one of the less congested areas now.Hmmm, how come the other eastern region MRT line thread so much mroe active than this one ah? Isn't this Thomson line going to be finised 2 years earlier in 2018?
Junior
looks like some kind of soil testing going on at:
9) cross bishan park, one stop at bishan park sec school opposite 402
This should be Sin Ming Station.
Newbie
skyscraper city reports a few
at Ave3 and Ave1 junction and Mayflower secondary.
I can't wait for the results. Especially the location of T7 which is supposed to be an interchange with a future Line.
Senior
Wow...my anyhow guess so accurate one ar?
Newbie
Possible to interchange at Bishan with the NS and Circle lines....a truely interchange like shinjuku stationHere is my guess:
1) Republic poly
2) Woodlands MRT
3) Somewhere near Sports school/innova JC
4)Then follow SLE underground, might have shell station there
5)cut under nee soon camp, station around springleaf estate

??? got accurate meh? I thought not very accurate. At least for the section I am most interested in. Dunno about the rest.Wow...my anyhow guess so accurate one ar?
If you are going down Avenue 4, there is no reason to enter from Ave 5 and turn more than 90degrees into Avenue 4.
Just doesn't make sense lah. If they are going down Ave 4, 99% they will continue north along Avenue 4 and passby the side of lentor.
There is also many soil investigation at lentor. Even got reports that LTA has given notices to people their to inspect their homes.
If they want to enter AMK from Ave5, it should be to do down through Ave 2. But that I think is unlikely as there is not much housing along Ave2.

Soil test can be done for any location on top of tracks and not station only...
Soil test can also be for land sales...
Haha...
Senior
yeah, ave 2 feels too sparse to justify having a station. somewhere in the middle of avenue 4 could even help serve St Nics.
Emeritus Senior
Could be for the NSE also...
Senior
NSE soil test should have been completed since the route is known. Those soil test locations are quite different from the proposed NSE route.
Junior
Correct ,, we should not be 'ass u me' that sighting soil test mean for mrt line.
Emeritus Senior
doesn't have to be right alone the NSE route...the impact radius is larger...
Newbie
Bishan park reno cost 2 Billions. Thomson MRT line another few Billions.
I think the entire stretch of HDB blocks along AMK ave 1 will be demolished, to give ways to high rise private condo. Starting with those that hasn't gotten a lift-upgrading.
Those Billions need to be recovered.
Senior
sell more land around the proposed stations, will that help recoup the expenditures?
speaking of impact radius? i'm honestly curious how far is a reasonable limit of impact radius. between amk ave 6 and lentor/yck junction, the distance is about 300m. Can the impact radius reach that far?
Junior
Soil investigation along both sides of Upper Thomson Road just south of Thomson Plaza. Similar machines to those next to Bishan Park Sec Sch.
Go for Smallest Unit
1 station near to Thomson Plaza cause alot of people need to go shopping.
1 station near to temple cause alot of people need to go pray...
hehe ..
Senior
that mall is hardly worth adding a MRT station next to it. all the parents drive their kids to that mall for enrichment classes, and there isn't a great deal to shop there.
Junior
It can be redeveloped. If you check the plot ratio I think it can be built up more.
Senior
Hopefully they do. Soo Chow residents will be very happy.
Go for Smallest Unit
some will not as they will be required to move..
move it move it.
Junior
One of the soil testing machines is very near to a row of Soo Chow terraces that is parallel to Upp Thomson Road. I think those residents could have grounds to be worried about this.
