Seriously I think only when they begin tearing down the National Stadium can we be sure there will be no more delays. Will be happy if that happens next year.
Otherwise can expect many more last football matches, closing ceremonies etc

of my 3 fave regions, this is the last bastion of hope.
marina bay - from $1100 to $2800, might be slightly undervalued now, room to grow when the gardens, shopping district is up. mbs pricing will change pricing dynamics there - i'm expecting avg $3300psf
sentosa cove - from $1200 to $3200, too late liao, slightly overpriced
tg rhu - from $600 to $900, still got hope.

Also, the partial opening of the Marina East Gardens (in mid 2010?) ought to boost the quality of life of T Rhu residents.
$600 psf?Originally Posted by gfoo
Tanjung Rhu condo is now selling at Ang Mo Kio 5-year-old EC price?
Wow!
That's cool, isn't it?

$600psf was in May, now it's transacting in the $750-$850 range i believe.Originally Posted by Reporter
All these new condos in the heartlands are overpriced lah - so many gems in the resale market which people dun bother to research
5-year-old Nuovo EC is also a resale - not a new condo. So it can be used as a comparison with the resales in Tanjong Rhu.Originally Posted by gfoo
Perhaps the gems in Tanjong Rhu are not as good as those in Ang Mo Kio?
Would view it as a gems to be rediscovery after the last sound of hype on news of new stadium n marina gardens. Still think there are potential in tg rhuOriginally Posted by Reporter
These kind of ranking is really up to the site's owner. U mean u really believe it? Are u local?Originally Posted by gwlip
Well, it doesn't really matter what I believe does it? I was simply sharing what was published on the site - anyone can choose to agree or disagree.Originally Posted by jc
I take it you are a local who absolutely disagrees with the rankings? Well erm... ok then... good for you!
Just looked at URA caveats.
2 more large units at Costa Rhu were done above $1,000 psf. It looks like large units may possibly hit $1,200 psf?
The latest Pebble Bay transaction is a 2,626 sq ft unit done at $1,256 psf.
I, of course, hope that prices will continue firming. Unfortunately, the number of transactions have dropped significantly.
Btw, gwlip, thank you for sharing.
No worries - its what a forum is for. I personally think Tanjong Rhu will be very nice place to stay once the developments are up. Hope it turns out that way .Originally Posted by Chan F M
Maybe the firmness in price has got to do with the Sail Effect?Originally Posted by Chan F M

I am not sure what is the Sail effect... Do you mean that a Sail transaction would affect properties at Tanjong Rhu?
Or more probably, I suppose you mean that that transaction would affect properties within a short distance from the Sail. That is certainly possible....
It is a very impressive price.
lol there is no Sail effect lah. the max extent it will stretch out to is one shenton.
Got la... just different Sail effect ... in future can sail at the East Gardens ma..Originally Posted by gfoo

Hoping to see some architectural layout and design of the East Gardens... so far majority of it are focused on the main South Gardens. I know a magazine had a write up of it recently but unfortunately I don't subscribe to it and am too cheapo to pay USD25 for 1 issue .
Anyone an architect here with this?

no local would buy Costa RhuOriginally Posted by Chan F M
the lifts are badly maintained
the residents composition macam Bollywood...its Ah Neh Town
Pebble Bay used to be a gemOriginally Posted by Chan F M
sigh
This comes to mind a question I had always want to ask.
Why is some condo so well maintained (e.g. that I had seen are Bullion Park, Oleander Tower, Mandarin Garden etc) and some are so badly maintain?
haha....my friend commented this tooOriginally Posted by NoodyGirl
That is true. I sold my unit to a Pakistani a year back for a good price. The Indians love the Tanjong Rhu and Meyer area. Really seem like Little India to me - but the fact that the Indians gravitate towards these areas also mean there might be potential as some indian are quite rich lor.
Sports Hub still has financing concerns
Posted by luxuryasiahome on November 14, 2009
THE troubled Sports Hub is still facing difficulties and the expected construction date could possibly be pushed back further to 2014.
It is understood that the preferred bidder for the $1.87 billion project, the Singapore Sports Hub Consortium, has yet to raise the money necessary for construction to begin at the site of the National Stadium.
The inability to secure funds from the private sector has been a problem plaguing the SSHC since last year, partly as a result of the economic recession.
The consortium said yesterday it had recently launched a financing competition, and that it intends to raise bank debt financing.
Led by construction firm Dragages Singapore, the SSHC expects to receive offers before the end of this year.
‘It’s essentially trying to get loans on the best terms,’ said a source.
A spokesman declined to reveal how much needed to be raised, although it is believed to be at least $1.2 billion, the hub’s estimated construction cost.
The source added: ‘It now all depends on whether we can raise the necessary funds. When that happens, then we can proceed.’
Dragages managing director and SSHC head Ludwig Reichhold said yesterday he was targeting to sign the final contract with the Singapore Sports Council by early next year. In August, he had set the end of this year as a target.
The SSHC had hoped to pull down the National Stadium by the first quarter of next year, but this is dependent on the final contract being signed first.
Demolition will take about three months. Construction can then begin and will take about three years.
Since the project was announced in 2005, its completion date has been pushed back repeatedly from 2010, to 2011, 2012 and then 2013.
Singapore’s hosting of the South-east Asia Games in 2013 is now uncertain.
The hub is a public-private partnership (PPP) project. This means the Government will pay the SSHC – which will design, build, and operate the facility – a monthly unitary payment throughout the project’s 25-year term once the final contract is inked.

Now that the MRT is confirmed to start operations in mid Apr, will we see an increase in resale prices for the Tanjong Rhu stretch?
I really hope so!
