The areas surrounding Katong Mall including Parkway will be brought back to life after 10pm. As of now, the shopping mood light goes off after 10pm but soon this will extend to after 12.
Paramount Shopping Mall will also be rejuvenated with Far East reconstructing the hotel component nearby. I can bet the hawker centres and the shops near Parkway Parade will also be brought back to life.
Its going to be a colorful mini city in this area cum mid-2012.
I heard that Katong Shopping Centre is also going for enbloc soon. I cant imagine if another shopping mall built there. This will effectively make this area second to Orchard Road shopping area.
I went inside the mall today and it looks so nice!
A lot of shops not opened yet. but Can tell its going to be quite hapening!
But I think the traffic there (joo chiat, marine parade and east coast road) will be a nightmare once it's fully openQuote:

These congestions did not happen by coincidence or by miscalculations you know? Clementi and Serangoon eventually became hubs, well connected by MRT and transport systems. Isn't this a strong sign of SOMETHING that may be planned near Katong mall, Roxy, Parkway area?Quote:

This whole katong/marine parade area is going to be exciting. Katong 112 mall is going to have a GV cinema the first cinema in Marine Parade area after so many years. And Katong 112 tenants are interesting with many established food joints and retail shops. The mall design is also modern, yet simplistic and open concept layout.Quote:

Paramount Shopping & Hotel will undergo a major refurbishment by Far East (owner) to add color to this area. A Peranakan theme is set to make the malls different from other malls in Singapore.
Its going to be an exciting area to live in. I am now contemplating of buying a unit at The Silversea cause I can foresee the huge potential of this area after the announcement of the mrt construction near Amber and Marine Parade area.
Y silversea.....our guru agentQuote:

Other condos like Cote D Azur, Costa Del Sol are located on a piece of land 50-100 metres away from the seashore. It makes a huge difference in terms of the seaview.Quote:

The only setback is its 99 years and not freehold. But then this area will be expensive regardless of condo status.
The plot of land katong shopping centre is sitting on is not very big compared to parkway parade leh. So how can it be the biggest mall in marine parade area? Unless the developer also buy over a substantial number of the landed residential units behind katong shopping centre?Quote:

All the old shophouses, multiple storey carpark, hawker centre and market, NTUC, the church etc..the potential is so huge, and I think this will be announced once ERL is settled.
FEO knows it, that is why grabbing the land in this area
same sameQuote:

I can imagine how much traffic jams it will create, assuming the number of car park lots, car park entry and exit remain status quo.
With Coralis, The Sound, Mountbatten Suites and the church goers there, its gonna be a BIG nightmare.
My :2cents: worth..
