Anyway, it is clearly better than having the residential blocks nearer to the noisy high volume traffic expressway.
On the multi-storey car parks, compare its placement with the Multi-Storey Carpark at The Estuary in Yishun, which is also just beside a stadium. However, the developers have instead chosen to place the multi-storey car park as a shield against the Stadium noise and not along the 6 lane road fronting the reserviour... Perhaps even as a shield against the afternoon sun....
One thing is for sure... you are going to see a lot more multi-storey carparks or a mixture of multi-storey carpark with basement carparks in new developments as margins are squeezed and demand moderated.
