    Looks impressive, the name of the mall One KM also is creative
    I love the impression of the kitchen. Somehow very inviting...

    Eventually will be 1.4-1.5kpsf after discount ... should be slightly above Waterbank @ Dakota due to its freehold status and ready access to mall

    Any idea who will operate the mall and what is the plan?

    UOL itself. anchor tenant is Cold Storage.
    the real detail plan I think not really finalized. As of now it throws the idea of edutainment, aka united square.

    UOL to build 'edutainment' mall

    Paya Lebar mall will house niche enrichment schools and trades related to education

    By

    michelle tan







    One KM: Above the retail mall will be UOL's 244-unit freehold private residence named Katong Regency, to be launched soon at between $1,500 and $1,600 psf









    THE former site of Lion City Hotel and Hollywood Theatre would see a new facelift come mid-2014 in the form of a new shopping mall called One KM.

    To be developed by UOL Group, the three-storey mall - in addition to a basement - is poised to be a knowledge-based centre with niche enrichment schools alongside other education-related trades.

    Explaining the rationale behind the mall's positioning, Liam Wee Sin, UOL group president (property) said: "There is an existing high student catchment population, with 20 local and international schools within a 2km radius, with a total student population of 37,000. As such, the positioning of the mall as an edutainment centre is a natural one."

    When completed, One KM would comprise around 170 to 200 shop units (averaging about 400 sq ft to 600 sq ft) spanning across a total net lettable area of approximately 210,000 sq ft - of which 20,000 sq ft has already been leased to anchor tenant, Cold Storage.

    Mr Liam also said that the retail units at One KM are expected to be held by the group for investment purposes with average rents expected to range widely from the high single digits to more than $30 per square foot (psf).

    The completed development, which will have a total of 530 car park lots, will be located next to the upcoming Paya Lebar Central Commercial Hub and a stone's throw from Paya Lebar MRT station.

    Said Mr Liam: "Our track record and keen eye for urban rejuvenation projects have been stellar. For the Paya Lebar precinct, we hope to again play a catalytic role and create value by transforming the area into a vibrant urban hub."

    Previously, UOL was involved in other area rejuvenation projects which resulted in the the development of Tiong Bahru Plaza, Twin Regency, Regency Suites and The Regency@ Tiong Bahru.

    Above the One KM retail mall will be UOL's 244-unit freehold private residence named Katong Regency, which is expected to be launched sometime over the next two weeks, with indicative prices estimated to range between $1,500 and $1,600 psf.

    Unit types to be offered include 126 one or one plus study bedders, 58 two or two plus study bedders, 36 three or three plus study bedders, 18 sky suites and 6 penthouses.

    Just get ready to be shocked. Those eyeing choice units better have back-up options.

    Possible to sold out within the first wkend. Still thinking whether it's worthwhile to consider a 1+1 for investment at this price. Any advice?

    let's just say if you are not eligible to go inside the show room NOW and still "thinking", it will not be worthwhile

    As in the place is over-priced and/or the commercial hub thingy will not take off?

    Guaranteed sold out:

    1. Free hold / integrated mall / near MRT - lethal combo
    2. Very few units
    3. Efficient layout and spacious block to block distance
    4. Paya Lebar hype
    5. SH 99LH already 1700psf, Geylang already 1400psf

    No tennis court??

    amk's NOW = duchess then at 1500psf, if u r not one of developer's cronies, tomorrow will be duchess residences "VVIP Preview FROM 1800psf". while i believe this time the premium won't be as steep, u can still expect cronies to get a good discount today vs tomorrow.

    A ERA agent contacting me but yet to submit cheque, so probably low chance but there is a likelyhood it will appeal quite a bit to our well to do Malay community buyers given that it is near Geylang Serai and Joo Chiat area.

    As in whether their choice units are taken up by internal purchases?
