[sunboy77]

Colleagues were talking about this big J! Very tempted but apprehensive... If only I got a crystal ball or an "third eye" to see what lies ahead! Ha ha. No "sure win" bet lah.

Har? This one still need crystal ball ah?

$1500psf? You might want to mentally prepare for $1600 and above if you are thinking of 1 bedder.

[oops]

The scary part is that many new developments is still ongoing..
till lakeside! Now is only early stage.

Exactly. And you can get these at around 1000/sqft. personally think the Chinese Garden / Lakeside condos are much better value if they are 30% cheaper. Only 4-5 min more by train and it is much easier to board in the mornings (the crowd at JE in the mornings is sometimes scary). For 1600$, you can get D'Leedon and many others which are much closer to city. Jurong Gateway is a great project and well located but seems over priced to me, even in this market.

[oops]

However the prime land is still at jurong gateway.

Is there any project fall in to this category in Chinese Garden / Lakeside?

Yes, the opening of JEM this month (hopefully) will be the first new TOP project since the JLD announcement was made in 2008. Here is a snap shot of what is currently going on at Jurong Gateway (excluding the Lakeside area), and what to expect in the next 5 to 10 years.

SINGAPORE: Jurong East is set to get its second shopping mall, Jem.The mall's opening day was meant to be 11th June but it has been postponed to a later date.Jem's Development Director Chris Brown said: “It’s been delayed to a date yet to be determined, due to an administrative regulatory issue.”He apologised for the inconvenience, saying the public will be notified of the new date as soon as possible.The mall has attracted a number of global brands to set up shop in light of changing shopping patterns of Singaporeans, and the development of the new hub at Jurong Lake District.At 818,000 square feet, Jem is the third largest suburban mall in Singapore. Among the 241 shops, there quite a number are popular global brands, like Robinsons and H&M.For some of them, it is the first time they have opened a store in the suburbs.Human traffic is expected to hit 50,000 once the mall opens.The developer believes there is great business potential in Jurong East as the government develops the area into a commercial hub.Brown said: "By focusing on shopping, entertainment, city inspiration, we've really been able to hopefully create that downtown experience that also offers that little bit more for the community."- CNA/ac/fl

Hmmm... My personal opinion is, nothing beats having the festivities and amenities at your doorstep within walking distances. Even if you need to travel only 4 or 5 minutes, it can never be the same.
This also explains why residential units within a mixed development always command a higher rental due to the convenience of the amenities. The thought of rolling off from your couch and going to do your banking needs, marketing needs right outside your condo in your flip flops is already priceless.
It's just like why rental next to NEX is better than Woodleigh, Dhoby Ghaut is better than Little India, Little India is better than Boon Keng. You can argue that they are only one station apart - but it can never be close enough.

No denying these benefits and conveniences. But how much premium do you pay for this? It is a personal choice but for me 50% premium and close to D3 rates is too much.

THE upcoming launch of MCL Land's J Gateway in Jurong East with prices in the bullish region of $1,600 per sq ft (psf) is set to test buyers' appetite for suburban homes.
Average prices of homes at the 738-unit development are expected to range from as high as $1,650 psf for a 474 sq ft one-bedder to $1,450 psf for a 1,163 sq ft four- bedder, according to marketing agent Huttons.
International Property Advisor chief executive Ku Swee Yong said the launch price of $1,650 psf will be a record for the Jurong East area. But he said J Gateway will draw buyers as it is the first condominium to be launched near Jurong East MRT station in 10 years.
One agent said he has received over 100 queries from interested buyers in the past three weeks.

This condo is too close to mrt track. For own stay it is a no. For investment maybe. Hdb there is of better value as price did not run up much.

Yah, for those who have bought cheap ones years before and those MTB expecting the price to drop to the level of 2005, this price is really very high.

but comparing it with the recent projects, such as urban vista and some others in Ulu palces, I reckon it is comparable.

[oops]

A few brands in JEM can only be found in orchard. This makes JLD unique and set apart from other suburban areas. Dont think other malls outside orchard have.

Comparing price of condo near MRT stations in Jurong, what you have just said about noise etc is totally irrelevant.

When it come to investment, it is not always about what you, but what the market think.

If this project sells out, Keppel Land at Tanah Merah will be happy to test the market at the same psf
