1555 units in only 838488sqft of land area? More crowded than minton which only have 1145 units in 115910sqft of land area. :D
cannot compare like this. Must use foot print.
What is the foot print size of the blocks in project A
versus
Foot print size of the blocks in project B.
You will get a more accurate idea of dead space and community space.
Considering the outrageous price paid, I always thought the plot is bigger than that. Only 800k+ sq ft and so many units, it's horrible. each unit effectively only 500 sq ft. of "land". Can forget about future enbloc, EVER.
Maybe they will squeeze in very small units to keep price tag affordable :) Latest trend.

i agree with u. 15xx units squeezed into 36 storey blocks for 8xxk sq ft of land vs 11xx units squeezed into 17 storey blocks for 1.1xm sq ft of land (is that the case for minton?) may still end up with greater open spaces/unit for farrer court's case.
i shall use my favourite duchess residences as a comparison since its nearby. :D 120 units squeezed into 5 storey blocks of 150k sq ft of land. on paper, its like, wow, 1,250 sq ft of land per unit! BUT, since there are 24 stacks and each stack takes up a lot of the land the remaining communal area pretty packed between the 2 row of blocks where all units will face each other. its the same for cascadia, low rise (12 storey), many stacks, takes up a lot of space and leaving much lesser common areas than it would appear on paper given the plot of land.

I'm talking about density - you're squashing more people in a finite plot of land. Facilities and common areas will be stretched as they need to accomodate more people. If all 1555 household x 4 per household = 6,500 people comes down to take a walk in the only 800k sq ft land, you really get a headache. You're making the assumption that people stay in their homes "in the air" and don't come down and use facilities or walk around common area.
As I say land is finite, squeezing in more people in a finite plot of land will always make it more crowded than what it used to be, i.e. old Farrer Park.

oic, okQuote:

By your argument, all our parks are not big enough either. If they all go at the same time at the same place.
BY current pricing, most people have to work longer hours at work, spend less time in their condo, that would work. Someone wrote in the papers that we might really have a problem if our population goes beyond 6.3 million.
A possible solution? develop islands and go underground.
This is possible as garment have invested heavily in the complex mrt network for more than 6.5 mil.
Possible - does not mean comfortable.
I reckon no issue to build higher and more dense to accomodate 6.x m in SG.
ISsue for me is the road/rail infrastructure. We all start abt the same time, many go to the same area (CBD).
Imagine this in the future - population of 6.x m, a Monday, heavy rain (slow traffic), a few minor accidents on the expressways and with some (ageing) MRT lines to have some form of service failure = "Blackswan" transport gridlock mayhem. Impossible?

Singapore also builds its rail system like a spider web as compared to grid like nature. The king will be at the center of the spider web, the other small spiders could find spots outside the center. That's why Condo and HDB's in town are so expansive.
I think all regions will experience growth if govt's initiatives are successful.Quote:

You can see govt is trying to de-clutter the city central by having lower-value office activities farm out to the regional hubs
like Tampines/Singapore Expo area and intensifying industrial activities at Jurong Lake
while the intellectual stuff is happening in biopolis area. Aerospace hub in seletar(though this one i am not sure how many workers they need or the size of the industry).
Yap, higher paying intellectual jobs in central region, lower paying manufacturing and industrial activities in OCRs. This means central regions properties will go up more due to better affordability of people working in CCR and wanting to live in CCR while others will prefer to move to OCR, thus helping CCR to be an even better living place with less traffic jams and human traffic. Good good! :D
