PLQ landscaping will be designed by the same British folks who did Gardens by the Bay (16 awards). Now I know why it is so expensive to build this project at over $3.2bn. Owners can look forward to more than 100,000 sq feet of landscaping with a river flowing through.
Can't really say that but it increases the chance that this property has a unique design which ups the emotional appeal of the next owner we sell to. The maintenance of this place will go in tandem with the landscaping scope of work. So management fees will only be higher than nearby condos. Give and take I supposed.

Data says it better...
Between July 2007 to May 2017, D14's straight line incline is looking very similar to D15. A good sign to me.

I was reading through the Business Times yesterday front page. Interestingly, there is no mention of Park Place Residences re-launch. Maybe they did not put it there since they have already launched Phase 1. If not, they might do what Marina One does, see the finished product first before selling. At a higher price of course!
Just speculating.

Going by the current strategy of wait and see like marina one, I cannot really tell if they will break $2k. Many are against it for such a low key area. My mum over dinner just told me it's too expensive even for $1.8k. She is selling her shophouse for $2.1k PSf in Little India (LH 999). For her generation, I guess she sees something different from her son.
Some see gems some see trash. It's all have to do with what you believe in. If you think the MasterPlan is just for show, you will not touch this place. I think it will be $2.1k for high floor units if launched in 2020 when TOP. Again, my 2 cents only.

A big IF but not entirely unlikely. A little concerned about the asking price but with such bullish capital inflows, who knows...

As a blue site with 3.0 plot ratio, it is pretty sizeable FH land which can be turned into a mixed development with shops cum apartments, serviced apartments and/or hotel. Not many FH blue sites around. This should shake up some attention if it goes into the market.
Hope this one goes through and surrounding owners will have more reasons to smile as it will bump up prices even further.

will it bring up the price in the upper lorong of geylang area?

Proposed change in land use zoning of Lorongs 4-22 Geylang to better manage issues arising from conflicting uses
Published Date: 13 Jan 2015
The Urban Redevelopment Authority proposes to rezone the area bounded by Geylang Road, Lorong 22 Geylang, Guillemard Road and Lorong 4 Geylang, excluding the parcels of land zoned Road, the lots fronting Geylang Road and the sports field bounded by Talma Road and Lorong 12 Geylang, from ‘Residential/Institution’ to a new ‘Commercial/Institution’ zoning. The area for rezoning is coloured in light blue in the attached plan [PDF, 4mb].
Members of public can submit their feedback, objection or representation to the proposal in writing to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of National Development, 5 Maxwell Road, Singapore 069110, on or before 11 February 2015.
A certified copy of the Master Plan with the proposed amendments may be inspected during office hours between 13 January 2015 and 11 February 2015 at The URA Centre Atrium. More information on this proposal can be found at http://www.ura.gov.sg/sn/MP2014-proposed-amendments.
Mentally challanged to stay in the area.
yes, noisy, pollution, night market for one month a year, with big crowd
Teddybear's observation is right. I travel to and fro Paya Lebar Road / Marine Parade via Tanjng Katong Road very often even before the construction started. Traffic is heavy from MacPherson Road / Paya Lebar Rd junction right up to Paya Lebar/Geylang Road. Either sides of Sims Ave and Geylang Road are just as heavy including Tanjong Katong Road up to Dunman Road. I expect traffic to worsen after all the developments there are completed since there will be more residential vehicles and commercial activities happening.
And, there is hardly any room for road expansion
The traffic condition is the same as Orchard road before 2012.
The right question to ask is, why is the traffic here so heavy?
Is Jurong to Buona Vista traffic any better? Is Yishun / Sembawang really very much better?
The three laws of Kelonguni:
Where there is kelong, there is guni.
No kelong no guni.
More kelong = more guni.
With your this sentence I immediately know you don't live in around Orchard.
Traffic condition in Orchard area is ONLY bad on the short stretch of road between shopping malls from Ion to Plaza Singapore (and that is it! - and this is a stretch which we can bypass without even needing to use it to go to anywhere else in Singapore), the rest of the roads around Orchard are usually smooth flowing, with minimal heavy vehicles and lorries and container trucks. Not only that, there are so many alternate roads to get any other place in Singapore.
This is unlike Payar Lebar / Sims Ave area, where the traffic is very very heavy even during non-peak hours! And worst, they are the only main roads you must use to transerse PL and Sims Ave area!
